Wednesday, Day 137 - May 23 - Cruising the Pacific Ocean

The weather is a little cooler this morning and it looks like it is going to be a nice Day. It is a day of lasts....last lecture with Terry, last quilling class with Sarah.

At noon the Captain tells us we are going to be at least an hour late getting into San Diego due to fighting a strong current since leaving Acapulco. We should arrive about 2:30PM then we will have a face to face with US Immigration before we can go ashore. A number of people are getting off in San Diego.

We spend the afternoon doing the dreaded packing. Carolyn had packed two of the suitcases we will ship a few days ago, but now it is serious packing to get everything corralled and back into the luggage so we can get off.

We are having our last special dinner tonight. The Chef is fixing us a tempura dinner. We go to dinner about 6:45PM and find the dining room empty. We suddenly remember that it was the Krew Kapers program tonight. We intended to go, but got so caught up in packing we forgot all about the program. Oh well, we are able to get some pictures with some of our favorite crew and get started on our special dinner before the crowd hits. After starters Teghu brings out a platter piled high with vegetables and shrimp tempura and two bowls of dipping sauce. It is so good!!! We will really miss this special dish!

It has been a really long day struggling with all the luggage everywhere and we are tired. Fortunately, the room finally cooled down late yesterday and has actually stayed cool more than just a few hours. It has stayed around 70 now for 24 hours and we are much more comfortable! Not sure why it took so long to fix whatever has been the problem. We have learned in the last two days from two different staff members that there is a recurring AC problem and it affects deck six forward the most. It is a part in each of the two air chillers that goes down often and they don’t always have the parts needed to fix it. So again our suggestion is not to book suites on Deck 6 if you need a cool room. And be prepared for warm public areas in case too much of the system goes down.
