June 19 North Atlantic - Last day on QM2

Last day on board!

Well, today was the day to pack the bags and get them outside the stateroom by 8 pm.

Didn’t do a whole lot during the day other than pack and have a nap.  We did go to see “Grand Budapest Hotel”, an interesting and comedic adventure.  Then it was time for dinner.

There are four assigned dining rooms; our assigned room was the Britannia Restaurant which is a magnificent two level restaurant and we had several meals in there.  There is also a food court which has a variety of buffets throughout the day; plus there are bars & lounges that will serve lunch.

There are four special restaurants also; an English pub, an Italian, Chinese and Indian restaurant.  Tonight we tried out the Indian food which was a new experience for us.  It was wonderful.  When we went to order we chose an appetizer and were told we were going to get all of them so just order an entrée and side dish.  Okay.  Amazing.  Here is a photo of the appetizer dish along with the four sauces to try on the various dishes.




After dinner we went back to the Royal Court Theatre to see the pianists Worbey & Farrell with their new show.  Great fun.  They did a Skype performance with the Edinburgh Symphony Orchestra.

We have seen quite a few boats today, showing that we are close to land.  We are getting very excited now that we know that about 4 am we will be able to see Cornwall.  We are supposed to dock at 6:30 am and we have been assigned to disembark at 9:30.  We have a taxi to the car rental and then we have to decide which direction we will go.

Sending love R/P
