Final sea days and home!

Saturday, March 10, 2012 – at sea

Fabulous weather for a BBQ on deck so who wants to pack! But when you to pack up 3 staterooms, you have to make choices. The BBQ won! Packing will be accomplished…it always is. HAS to be.

So it was glorious to sit out and the pig roast was delicious!

The Texas Tenors were the entertainment and I found out they won the America’s Got Talent contest a few years ago - -wonderful voices and we hear them tomorrow night again. I bought the CD.

“Nowhere else is the term United Nations better served than onboard a Holland America Line ship. Onboard the ms Prinsendam, we prove that people of many nations, religions and beliefs can work and live together, not only adequately but very well indeed. We celebrate the national holidays of the Netherlands, the UK, the Philippines, Indonesia, USA, Canada and India. The religions onboard include: Catholic, Muslim, Hindu, Protestant and Jewish. We hope you will enjoy and explore the rich heritage that all of us onboard the ms Prinsendam bring to you.”

Well written. We had a very nice closing ceremony with all the crew, staff and officers singing LOVE IN ANY LANGUAGE. Entertainment was Den West and The Texas Tenors! Spent most of the day PACKING - -three staterooms. I’ve found quite a few forgotten items!

Monday, March 12, 2012 – arrive Ft. Lauderdale

Packed the final belongings, ate our last room service breakfast and we were off the ship by 9:30 and in the rental car headed home. Quite a voyage and it will take me some time to digest it all. We traveled 17,657 nautical miles! The places are incredible and inviting; the people make the journey that much more memorable.
