Adventure of the Seas

Hanging out on the Adventure

Our final morning on the ship was spent relaxing by the pool and having a few more drinks.

Skating

Tanya, the cruise director, had told us the night before that the skating performers had been hit by Covid but that five of the skaters wanted to put on a small production they created themselves, so we headed to the studio for their afternoon show. It was a lot of fun and great to see what they could do on short notice.

Last night

We hung out in the lounge in the afternoon before dinner. The evening show was the same comedian we had seen the first night, so we skipped that. Janie and J. R. did a little dancing with Madame JoJo before dinner then met with the family for dinner.
