Mexican Riviera Cruise Day 8

Day 8: March 21st, 2009 At Sea Day

Today was our last full day aboard the Carnival Pride. We slept in till 8:30 a.m. and took our time getting ready. We went up to the Mermaid Grill for breakfast and found everyone already there. It was a cool, drizzly day. After breakfast we went to the debarkation talk to find out what we need to do for the next morning. Sadie came with us to the talk but brought her DS and her headphones. After the talk we went back to our room for a bit and then had lunch in the Normandie dining room. We were going to have dessert after our lunch but ran out of time – Jerry had arranged a bridge tour for all of us with the captain. So I promised Sadie ice cream later and we dashed out and made it for the tour. We got to go to the bridge and see how a ship that size functions. The crew was all very nice and it was quite a view from the bridge. Sadie went to camp carnival for a few hours after that and Jim and I walked around the ship. We picked up Sadie and she said goodbye to the nice councilors there. They gave her a pencil, a painting of the ship, and her name tag for a souvenir. They were all very nice. We went up to the lido deck and ate some ice cream and then went to the kid’s talent show to see Hailey sing the ABC song with another little girl and the kids got to dance with funship freddy ( a big, weird looking mascot). Jim was frightened but I held his hand. Sadie wasn’t frightened and gave him a big hug. We went to dinner for the last time on the ship and enjoyed the food even more (now that we knew all that yummy food was coming to an end). After dinner we checked out the gift shops one last time and bought some last minute gifts and a scrapbook and called it a night at 9:30 p.m. Gallery.
