Pacific Dawn - Monday 12 February, 2nd sea day

Our last day of our cruise, I could definitely stay on for another week! I've been surprised how many families with kids are on this cruise being that it was promoted as a food and wine cruise, although aren't all cruises! It was a great atmosphere on this cruise, really relaxed, busy but not annoying busy, a good mix of ages I think.

This morning started slowly, what's the rush really, I headed up to the Lido for a cup of tea then went back to the Atrium to enjoy it. It was so hot up on the Lido already.

Atrium

We thought we'd go to the Waterfront for brekky as miss 18 had spied that Eggs Benny was on the menu! It is lovely being waited on :-) I had a very nice omlete.

Eggs benny!

Logo trivia was on in the Atrium so we headed there and with an eagle eye miss 18 found us a table. We rocked it with our Logo knowledge but another team rocked it better, so close! After logo there was general trivia so we thought we'd stay for that. In between the two trivias they did have speed sudoku. I'm not a sudokua but thought I'd have a go, I didn't win and miss 18 also pointed out that I was doing it wrong. I'll know for next time! Trivia started off ok and then the table near us, who we'd swapped our logo sheet with, ask us if we wanted to join them as apparently they had a much better chance of winning than we did! Spoiler, they didn't come close to winning and for the record we killed them at logo trivia! It was a father and son and another couple, the father wrote down every question and answer and even has a special book he takes with him to all trivia's. He even said he studies them back at home, wow. I think he needs to study a bit more though.

After trivia we went back to our cabin and changed into our swimmers, the waterslides were calling us! 

Near the bottom of the Disco slide

Waiting for the slide

FUN! I went on the Disco slide which has music pumping, lights flashing and then the last bit is complete darkness, the water's slightly heated which is just how I like it. The other slide is clear.

We went to go up again so we could swap slides but one of the staff members stopped miss 18 as she was wearing a necklace. I told her we'd just been on it but she still said miss 18 had to remove it. I didn't feel comfortable leaving it with our bags while we were on the slides so we didn't bother. Later on miss 18 would go on the slides again, I just spectated this time.

Miss 18 had spied people with baskets of prawns so she went in search of them, they were at the Mexican station in the Pantry. Delicious.

Prawns!

The sun was HOT which must mean it's COCKTAIL time! This time we were determined to find a cocktail miss 18 would enjoy and this is exactly what we did! Frozen Margarita. I went with a frozen Rose, yum.

Got a new P&O cocktail glass

After our cocktails we headed to the Pantry for a bite to eat, Ramen Noodles! 

Seeing that this was our final night we had to get our suitcases packed and out between 5pm and 8pm so after lunch and another frozen cocktail we headed back to the cabin to pack, rest and then get ready for dinner. This time we had a table for just the two of us. The meal was a little disappointing again, we even asked to get another main meal for miss 18 as her first choice, crusted cod, was not very nice at all. The waiters were happy to replace it for us with no fuss at all. My meals weren't too bad, I had a fish cake type thing and a vegie lasagne, nice but a little lacking in flavour. We decided to splurg and order all the desserts (there were three on the menu) and the fruit platter. Again, a bit disappointing. They looked good just didn't have much taste to them sadly.

All the desserts!

No show for us tonight, it was a comedian which we had thought we might go to but in the end we both decided our beds were calling us. Our cruise is almost over, 3 nights is just not long enough.
