I love it when we have a day at Sea and the sun is shining over a calm ocean, and that was today. No breakfast again this morning, opting instead for lunch and dinner tonight.
We started the morning with an hour long walk around the deck before heading back to the suite to change into our bathers before once again heading to the Jacuzzi at the rear of the ship where it is secluded and warm. After a quick lounge in the hot tub we lay in the sun. Only a short time for Philip who is slightly sunburned from the last time but I stayed for about an hour.
As we disembark tomorrow morning in Melbourne we have to pack our suitcases that have to be outside our suite tonight. I don't much like packing suitcases and wish I could click my fingers and a magic genie would appear and do it for me but alas I don't have an Aladdin.
By the time we had finished packing it was time to head to lunch. We decided on the pool grill because I was craving a tuna salad sandwich. Philip decided on the Fish Burger. During lunch the captain announced that in the next hour or so we would be heading past Wilsons Promontory - the most southern point of Australia. This place is stunning and is well known for its diverse wildlife, pristine beaches and stunning walks. 
The day had passed us by very quickly and in no time at all it was time to get dressed and head downstairs to the theatre for the final show for the cruise, "Motown", as well as a farewell speech by our captain. A selection of the crew also came on the stage to say goodbye. No matter which cruise line, they always have this show and it is always great to watch.
The show went for around an hour that made us very late for our dinner reservation at The Grill, but the staff didn't seem too worried by that. This is our second time dining here and we quite enjoy cooking over the hot rocks, even though it took quite awhile to cook by fillet steak. I just kept cutting pieces off it to eat with my baked potato and skewered vegetables.
It turned into rather a late night for us who usually end up in bed before 9, but this is the last night so why not. Tomorrow morning we will arrive into Melbourne to end this fantastic 18 day cruise.
