Now back in the UK!

The last few days of the cruise were slow - Sunday there was an Interdenominational Church Service in the Neptune lounge, and the third and final formal night. Increasingly people want to avoid being photographed, and it was tedious queueing for the Captain's Farewell Reception (though he and the team deserved kudos for getting us to see the eclipse). In the evening meals Baked Alaskas with sparklers were triumphantly carried into the restaurant. Our cabin stewardess Atitaya took part in the crew concert which had some Asian dancing I liked to see.

Some people put their bags out a day early.

The last full day saw the passenger talent show . . . and we crammed clothes into cases.

Cut back on the breakfast on the last day, collected spare car keys onboard which were slightly damaged, then didn't have to wait as long as feared before we could join in a confused scrum to find our offloaded bags. Didn't have to show our passports which was strange. Easy journey back apart from Macdonalds near Baldock doing an awful imitation of a cup of chocolate.
