Day 15 - Panama Canal Cruise
It is hard to believe this was our last day of the cruise! We have had such a good time.
The weather turned cold and windy (well, 61 for the high), but it wasn’t what we were expecting. Tobey planned to try the water tube and since he hadn’t done it yet, this was the last opportunity. We headed up to the pool deck after breakfast and he braved the wind and cool weather.
Once Tobey climbed to the top of the tower and into the “chute” and in position, they closed him in. The attendant hit the lever and the floor dropped out underneath Tobey and he was zooming down. Unfortunately, like several other people we have seen doing the tube, he got stuck halfway!
They have emergency escape doors for just that reason, so they let Tobey out and he made a quick dash to the hot tub to warm up. Tobey thought maybe it was because his swimsuit wasn’t wet enough, so it created too much friction and slowed him down. After warming up he decided to give it another go. Up he went and the second time made it all the way through the slide.
More hot tub for him to warm up then back to the room to change into dry clothes!
This afternoon we went to the “crew talent show”. One of the “bakery girls”, Michelle, sang a duet with another staff member who played the guitar. It was fun.
A crew member from India did a traditional dance.
After dinner, Phil, Marcia, and I went to the Fab Fourever show in the theater. The group is a Beatles tribute band and they dress up and wear wigs to look like the Beatles. It was a good show.
Tobey and I watched Siglo’s last two shows in the Cavern Lounge. Their guitar player, Randy, does an amazing job and is quite the showman – really connecting with the audience.
When the show was over at 10pm we went back to our room to finish packing before our departure in the morning. This has been a memorable trip with good friends and we hate to see it end!
