December 23rd, Part 3
Rob got some reading done on the verandah this afternoon and then we went to watch sail away on deck 4.
Look at that water!
Just before our scheduled departure, we saw an ambulance coming.
Oh no, that's never good.
We headed over to the other side to see what was going on....
We thought they were picking someone up but thankfully, they were dropping someone off! There was a little girl on the stretcher and when she got off the stretcher and walked onto our ship, everyone cheered.
Poor family must have had a rough day in Cozumel.
Aquadunk, something we don't have!
It was so neat because tons of CM's kept coming out onto deck 4 and waving, shouting to their friends on the other ship. Our server told us that they had really switched up the cast members on all of the ships.
Since the sun was now on the other side of the Magic, you could really see into the windows now.
We all thought that the Magic would be leaving before us since she arrived first but our gang planks were removed and we sailed away.
We all awaited a glorious horn battle but sadly, there wasn't one. I'm even fairly certain that the regular horn was used here, no When You Wish Upon A Star but I could be wrong.
We watched the entire thing, waving our good-byes to the Magic.
I walked over to the other side to capture a few last pics....
And then grabbed this shot. A guy was watching me and when I left, he said "Great idea!" and then took the same shot.
It was now time for dinner at Animator's Palate. It was Pirate Night but there was no Pirate Show on deck 9 and no fireworks tonight. But we got the Pirate Menu, which we've never had on any of our Christmas cruises before!
At one point, some pirates raided the room and danced around a bit to some music.
I've had the macadamia nut caramel tart before and it was always just okay but this one was AMAZING!
It was a mickey ice cream bar night.
Back to the room to check our our monkey and get ready for the pool. Kira headed straight to Vibe after dinner and we didn't see her again until it closed.
Rob took a photo of a happy Cass in the hot tub.
He then snuck up to deck 10 and took a few shots from up there.
When I was all done, I took one of him
He ended up chatting with Mark again and got lots of reading done. This was that cozy corner that was nice and warm for him. It was another windy evening.
I stumbled across this and it came in handy later on as Rob and Kira watched some Daredevil together and they put it on the stateroom TV.
Out on the verandah, the moon was so bright and looked like a sunset!
I checked out the next day's activities on the app while Rob enjoyed some more reading on the verandah.
I sure missed having the paper Navigators
Once Kira was back from Vibe, we passed out.
