Geezers @ Sea: Last Day on Viking Jupiter Edition

Today was our last full day on the ship. We disembark at zero-dark-thirty tomorrow and head for the train station, where we'll board the Glacier Express to Oslo. It should be a scenic ride because it's cold and raining now...so there might be fresh snow to highlight the Norwegian mountains on the train ride. But before we can leave we had some work to do.

Most cruise ships have great crews. Viking has a very great crew. The ship is filled with folks who care! Once they serve you, they know who you are and make sure that you have what you  like. For the last 16 days we've been treated very very well. Tomorrow reality will set in. So we said good bye to our new friends. I made a blanket while onboard and if you know me, you already know what became of it. I gave it to Ria, who has been doing her best to make sure I get over my cold. She has served me lots of hot water laced with honey, lemon, ginger and spirits...and I think it has worked. She loved her little lavender teddy bear blanket.


We hugged the crew, said some special thank yous...and then it was time to pack.
We had to get our luggage out by10 PM and we made it with a few minutes to spare. We have our last room service breakfast tomorrow very early in the morning...and then we'll segue way down to the atrium and leave Viking Jupiter for the next part of the adventure. 
It's been a good cruise, even if I caught the ship's cold.

Ria’s Bear blanket looks outstanding and super sweet. The next portion of this adventure must be one affording you quite the sights - unquestionably photo worthy. You go for it!
