Day at Sea - Last day
It was our last day of the cruise. The temperature felt slightly colder than the day before, which gave us free choice on the deckchairs again.
Before dinner it was time to pack our luggage. Luckily we didn't buy too many souvenirs so everything fit. After dinner we went to the theater to see the show ensemble perform one last time and then went up to the pooldeck for the farewell poolparty, before grabbing one last drink in the Anytime ...
