but instead I am listening to an audio book and grumbling about the continued inability to upload photos from my laptop. Since I am walking off in the morning rather than sticking out luggage for the staff to deal with, I really don’t see a hurry.
And, since this is the last cruise, I will not have the usual guilt about clearing out of the cabin so my attendant can get ahead of the curve for the next round of passengers. Talking to the staff, many will be flying out starting on the 17th, A small number of staff will remain with the ship: ship drivers, maintenance personnel, some cooks, a couple of laundry and cleaning personnel, and a few waitstaff to do set up and tear down for the crew. It has been a shortened contract for many since they didn’t board till around 1 July.
[break to see if everything stuffs back into the suitcase – yes, well sort of. I bought very little. But I seem to have received a few extra Loyalty Gifts. Since the heavy duty blue bags are great for hauling stuff and grocery shopping, more are always great. But I expected maybe two. Hummm – how am I going to get six home?]
