Coastal Cruise - Going Home
We both woke up early and watched us dock, then went to the
Lido for last breakfast. I ran into Scott and Linda, so they joined us for
breakfast. We were done with breakfast by 7:15, and done in our cabin by 7:30,
so we decided to go up to (you guessed it) the Tamarind Bar while we waited for
it to be our turn to disembark, since it had a better view than our veranda. As
usual it was deserted except for the occasional staff member.
Once our group was called (gray 2) we made our way off the
ship, grabbed our bags, and got on the bus. The ride back was uneventful, and
the road construction, while still ubiquitous, was not too bad. Once we got to
the airport we stood in a lot of lines – they seemed to be checking things 3 or
4 times – but eventually made it through and were into the preclearance area,
which means that when we landed in Portland we landed as a domestic flight.
Once in the terminal we found Josh and Jen (they took an Uber, which worked
very well) and had our last lunch together at a sports bar so Josh could watch
the Masters. Then we got on our plane and flew home (it’s a 45 minute flight).
Dave and I got upgraded to first class so that was very nice. We did the
airport things and aside from some traffic got home uneventfully. 185 days until the next cruise!
