Bunnies, Pelicans and Birthday Cake!

Easter Sunday, April 05, 2015

This is the last full day of our cruise. L

We began the day with a room service breakfast. Then we made our way to the Princess Theatre. There was an ecumenical Easter Sunday service. It was nice but very simple. We sat with Erik and Rosalie and after the service we had a short visit with Ziutka and Ken who were sitting in front of us.

We stayed in the theatre and listened to George McGuire’s talk on the Northern lights. I did not find it as fascinating as the others. Perhaps that was because I was sleepy in the first place.

Next we headed for the Piazza where the Easter Party for the children was in full swing. There were lots of activities and there was a visit by the Easter Bunny and by Pelican Pete. It was very festive and I took lots of pictures.

Then we came back to our room. Ken has to pack. I am almost finished because I worked on it yesterday. We both hate packing because it means the end of a cruise.

We managed to get packed and before we knew it the clock said 2:50 and the Hula and the Ukulele Group would be performing in the Princess Theatre at three. So away we went. Rosalie is in both groups and we wanted to support her. We got there on time and we had a great location for pictures. We were so impressed. The groups were larger and they seemed to be more accomplished. We just loved it.

The next thing was to go to the Vista so we could hear Eric in the passenger talent show.

We came very close to being late for dinner but we made it. Ken and I gave the chocolates and the tips and notes to Joe and Satheesh before the others arrived. Dinner service was slow but the meal was very tasty.

Today was Rosalie’s birthday and Eric ordered a special cake for the occasion. It was a  strawberry shortcake with lots of fruit and whipped cream. We were all served ample helpings. The waitstaff sang happy birthday and one even played the guitar.

We finished our dinner finally and everyone left to do final closing of suitcases and to put the cases out into the hall
