At Sea Day 7 of 7

Belly Dancing Class
      Big happenings today. As we got up today we saw a bird flying by the ship, the first bird we have seen since leaving Bermuda. Then later in the day we passed 2 oil drilling platform and a small tender craft. Finally as th4e day went on, we started to see land and other ships. We had finally made it to the English channel and we were seeing the Irish coast near Cove (Cobb) which we had been to the last few cruises. Coffee and tea in the Atrium along with a donut and yogurt was breakfast. It is only the 2nd donut that I have had on the cruise. Zumba for 40 minutes followed. We missed the enrichment lectures today. Judy has been wanting to buy a gold chain and ankle chain which took some time. She received a free gold bracelet with the purchase. We did make it to the port lecture on Holyhead just barely finding seats. Since we had a light breakfast we did go the pub lunch early where they had fish and chips. Maybe we will get some real English fish and chips ashore tomorrow.
In The Lounge
Lounge Drink
     We did go to the Rumba class (no not Little Rumba the line dance. Judy then stayed or belly dancing but she did not have her shawl. Then it was Lexi's turn for another Zumba class, the last one for 2 days as we are in port both tomorrow (Liverpool) and Monday in Holyhead. Actually after today we only have 3 sea days more. After all that it was time for an in room movie, a glass of wine and some rest before we headed out for drinks at the Elite lounge.
Chocolate Cookie!
      The entertainment tonight was a mix between the Irish fiddle players and the singer. We decided against the entertainment and just went down a little later to the lounge for a drink and a bit to eat. We have another time change tonight and then the early (7:45) report to immigration for a face to face with them. I guess with all the recent troubles that British Immigration is looking a little closer at people entering the country. We are trying to track down our laundry that has been missing (at the laundry) for about 5-6 days. I told the front desk that we would be wearing towels soon if they can't find it. When we returned to the room tonight after dinner, our laundry was there. Some of the socks were still damp but at least we don't have to wear towels to the immigration check tomorrow.
