Our last full day on the ship was a sea day. I'm sure there were a lot of walks around the promenade deck, as well as packing up and there were a few really fun and new, or unusual to us on Holland ships, happenings around the ship. We noticed towel animals all around the pool when we went for lunch.
Following lunch there was a huge cake extravaganza of beautiful and delicious cakes. We may have tried a couple!
Later in the afternoon the crew set up a carnival on the pool deck. There were many games to play, staff handed out tickets for winning at the games, you put your tickets into the ticket cage, tickets were drawn and prizes handed out, we didn't win anything but it was a lot of fun. It seemed like this event was a big hit, both passengers and crew seemed to be having a blast!
This was our last night enjoying our new friends, Barb and Mark, over dinner. We all exchanged contact info and decided we would keep in touch and meet up since they live in Calgary. Mark was very helpful in helping us decide what type of knives to purchase in Japan, he is a hobby chef who loves to cook and has bought many knives in Japan and said he bought a couple more this trip.
On our way back to our room we got a picture of our favorite room steward, he was not ours but we ran into him all the time and had many long conversations with him, he has had a very interesting life.
It had been a great cruise around Japan that we very much enjoyed. It made us want to return to Japan and next time travel around the country on our own now that we know that it is easy!
