Volendam day Fourteen Sunday 6/11/11

Slept too late for Carol to do aquarobics - well that's the excuse anyway. Washing in the machine, up to breakfast then into the dryer and attended the debarcation (???)  briefing. Putting challenge proved difficult and no prizes for us today. Packing has to be fitted in around everything else today as the baggage needs to be out by midnight. Leisurly afternoon before our 'show time' dinner at 5:15. Satisfaction survey to be completed, service excellent but ship showing its age and becoming shabby. We arrived ten minutes early for dinner and the queues were beginning already, by the scheduled time people couldn't even get out of the lift. When everyone was seated there were a few places still empty surprisingly.  Menu slightly different and some theatricals by the stewards as they brought the serviettes and salads. Not quite as spectacular as the one we remember on the Rotterdam last time. Have to check the video to see if it was just the novelty that made it seem better last time. Very pleasant company of Canadian and American couples made the meal pass quickly. They all excused themselves before coffee to go to the early show but we waited a while longer and went to the crows nest to listen to a Beach Boys session. Very exclusive gathering - about 8 passengers only. We went to the second show early enough to get good seats but no need as it wasn't a full house. The classical guitarist and 'black tie' performed some different numbers to popular acclaim. Back to the cabin to finish packing and so to bed for the last time aboard.
