This was the last full day aboard the Carnival Luminosa<\/em>. After breakfast I attended a couple of trivia contests where I did poorly. I made one final attempt to break my losing streak in the casino and failed – lost $30 (down $590 with one small bonus in $430 in losses). I should have just stayed out of the casino this last week on board. The machines just ate my money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At lunch we saw the passenger who gives gifts to the crew. He has given out hundreds – maybe even thousands – of dollars in gifts and cash to the crew. In the afternoon we attended the crew talent show where crew members who are not part of the regular entertainment staff get a chance to show their skills. They were all terrific. The surprise was an operetta duet with Captain Binacchi and Mikka, one of the “fun crew,” who demonstrated a fine soprano voice. Very impressive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the rest of the day was spent saying goodbye to friends we met on the ship. In the evening we attended the final show – three mediocre comedians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
