The Celebrity ship leaving

Then it was our turn. The P&O ship gave us a great send off. I was really impressed. Look at all the people on the top deck and on the balconies waving us goodbye. And singing too!

 

 

 

 

This video is great!

Does the glow party have age limits?

No age limit. Everyone is welcome.

Really enjoyed the video of the P&O. I watched twice but could not make out the song they were singing. Do you remember what it was?

:D

I watched the video again and can say that I do not remember that particular song, but what made me tape it was that they we doing lots of different songs and their DJ was amazing! He had everyone enthralled. They did songs like "Nah, nah, nah, nah, hey, hey, hey, goodbye" and "God Save the Queen" and a bunch of other songs. Almost everyone on board was participating. They handed out British flags to all of their passengers. It was one of the highlights of our cruise.

I heard that this is something they do on the last port sailaway of each of their cruises. It just happened to coincide with our last port sailaway, which made it even more special.

 

My husband was doing a German chant back and forth with a bunch of passengers. I wish I had that on video!

I am a really good whistler, and I was in a duel with a P&O passenger as well. It was a lot of fun. We were waving goodbye until we were too far away to be seen and heard.

Thank you! I agree. It was one of the more memorable moments of the cruise.

More review to come!

I totally agree! It almost makes me want to try a cruise with them. :eek:

[ncklhaus]

So away we went. The view was spectacular.

 

 

I was trying to get a good picture of the birds. I don't know what kind of birds they are but the tails were really interesting. They kept circling like they were trying to let me get a good picture of them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[ncklhaus]

This was my favorite sailaway. Maybe it was because of the P&O standoff or maybe it was because it was the last port sailaway for us but it really struck me how beautiful it was.

 

 

 

 

 

[ncklhaus]

The sun set was spectacular.

Looking down you can see the thrusters churning up the sand and silt. It was pretty beautiful in a strange way.

 

 

 

 

A quick video

 

 

 

The pilot boat pulling away after picking up the pilot. We were now back under the control of Captain Hakan Svedung.

 

 

Another video

Tonight we decided to go back to Cagney's. This time we would eat inside.

 

 

The menu

 

 

 

 

 

Cagney's butter. Yes, it was THAT good. I can't explain why, it just was. Maybe because it was whipped, light and airy. Easy to spread.

 

 

My silly kiddo, getting a bit tired of all the pictures.

 

[ncklhaus]

Dippers for the bread. Yum.

 

 

 

Lump Crab Salad. Not as good as I thought it would be. It reminded me of tuna salad. Same texture.

 

 

Mexican Caesar Salad. Mike and Melissa both loved it

 

 

 

 

Wedge Salad. I really liked it..

 

[ncklhaus]

Truffle chicken. Delicious, juicy, perfectly cooked. You could taste the truffles but they were not overpowering.

 

 

Whole cold water lobster. So disappointing. It was totally mushy. Not at all what I was expecting from the "Cagney's Experience".

 

 

Lobster Tail and Shrimp. This was Melissa's. She said it was good, but not as good as the first time she had it earlier in the cruise. She that that maybe it had to do with how long the lobsters were kept in a tank before cooking them. Smart kid.

 

 

Steamed Broccoli. Good, not great.

 

Baked Idaho Potato and Grilled Beet Root with Roasted Shallots. Again, good but not great.

 

 

 

On a whole, this Cagney's experience was OK, not great. If we didn't have the dining package we would have been disappointed.

[ncklhaus]

We took Melissa to Splash Academy for "Mission Impossible Spy Night". She loved it as usual.

 

 

When we picked her up and went back to the room, we found this little dude

 

And that is the end of our port days. Happily, we still have 3 more sea days left.

The lobster even looked mushy in the picture. I guess I will stick with the beef. :confused:

Next time I will as well. Lesson learned.
