Sometime in the early dark hours of this morning, the Jewel docked in New Orleans. Our last day at sea started warm and sunny. the temperature progressively cooled and became less humid as we headed northward. By noon it was overcast and by 1:00 the wind and rain were whipping the deck chairs into the walkways.
We were in one to two meter seas with frothing wind waves, Aahhh! This brought back some fond memories, NOT! Nice to be high and dry. It all looks much less threatening in a big boat! Within an hour we had passed through the worst of the squall, and the wind and seas calmed down along with passengers who had gotten seasick.
After eating breakfast on the fantail deck, I attended a zumba workout in the morning while Russ went to the gym and the golf cage. When it started raining we headed for the card room and played some dominoes. Our afternoon was spent in a Q & A session with the ship's senior officers and found out that we were traveling 22.3 knots per hour and burning 1 gallon of fuel a second. Whoa! Put up the sails!
We hung out in the theater to learn the magicians tricks..how he does it....not really too informative as he didn't share the tricks he did during the show, but basic stuff you can learn from a book. Then there was a crew talent show where cooks, wait servers, stewards, bar tenders, etc., whose primary job was not entertainment, shared their talents! There were some great vocalists and guitar players.
The barman was quite a juggler of bottles and glasses. We finished the evening with a concert, dinner, game show, and goodbyes with new friends.
All is well with the Worrall Travel R s, now disembarked from the Norwegian Jewel.
