The weather this time was considerably better than the cool, cloudy, damp day we got last week. There were still lots of clouds, but with enough sunny breaks that we could spend a few minutes on the beach (one of the 6 or 7 on the island). I even took a brief swim in the crystal-clean water. Jett dipped her toes.<\/p>\n<p>We went to the casino in the afternoon and lost more money. Then we packed and had our final dinner on board. We took photos of the people who had served us so well for 2 weeks: Ghiocel, the restaurant manager, Asook, the head waiting and Theresa, our waiter. Kudos to all for making us feel so welcome.<\/p>\n<p>We found some nice farewell towel art in our cabin after dinner, then took in the full Broadway tunes show. Very well done. The do a great job with &#8220;staging&#8221; using photographic backdrops. The voices and dancing were quite good, too.<\/p>\n<p>A fine cruise. And no hospital visits.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8575\" style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a
