Well, the pill bottle is getting empty which is a sure sign that the vacation is coming to an end. We had a few activities today, with the most significant one being a worship service and Dr Maier's last lecture.
In Dr Maier's lecture he covered Paul's missionary journeys. In his intro he said how this is normally 3 or 4 lectures so he'd just do the highlights. He did a good job of that. Some of the info was a repeat of what he said in Corinth, but there were people attending today who were not there yesterday so that makes sense. It was great to hear him shed additional insight on why Paul visited the places he did and in the order that followed. I found his explanation of why Paul appealed to Caesar when arrested in Jerusalem very enlightening.
At the buffet today for lunch they had a dessert extravaganza! Many more desserts than usual, including the chocolate fountain in the photo on the left, and a lot fancier. The picture on the left is just one small section of the desserts! My plate with a small sample is on the right. The coconut topped cake was especially delicious.
Dinner tonight was lobster! On Celebrity you just get a lobster tail (Princess also has a prawn or other piece of lobster) It was good, but a rather meager portion. The baked Alaska Dessert, however, was excellent.
After dinner we went to the last production show titled Rock. The premise was to emulate being at a rock concert. It as better than the first show, but not up to our expectations.
Tomorrow is an early day as we need to be ready to go by 7AM (again!) for our 1/2 day tour of Pompeii. But that is not as bad as the next day when we disembark - that day we have to be ready to leave by 6:00 am. These early mornings (getting up before 5 am) are killers.

Pat
i think i would be ok with getting up before 5am if that meant that i would get to sleep through the night and not have to get up every hour or two.
