It is Sunday morning at 3:53AM. We are due to arrive Lisbon at 6AM. Sunrise is at 6:50. The seas are very rough [12 to 18 feet] and there is a warning of high winds on the deck. The temperature is 64 and it is overcast. I can’t sleep.
I packed last night; we had to have our bags outside our staterooms by 1AM. I am glad I didn’t have to pack for a plane. I seem to have acquired some stuff.
I retrieved my passport last night from the main office and received my “bill.” In 16 days I have spent $1030.00 on board. They assess a “tip” of $10.00 per day [$170.] and my internet access cost me $304. I booked 6 more excursions while onboard which amounted to about $350. Diet coke and 4 “party drinks” [alcoholic] covered another $100. Shipboard souvenirs came to about $40. I spent $30. on the laundry and there were a couple of incidental expenses. Considering how careful I was in spending on board, I shudder to think what the bill must look like for a couple out for a good time.
I did spend much more time on the internet than most but I think other than that I probably had the lowest bill on the ship. I am going to see what I can use up on-line this AM as I still have about 2 hours credit. Here goes. See you in Lisbon.
