As soon as we switched on the stateroom TV to the aft camera, we could see we were basically home. The ms Koningsdam had sailed back under the Lion's Gate Bridge at around 6:30 and backed into Canada Place at 7:00 am. So, when we got up at 7:15 we saw the scene above on our screen.
Because we didn't have a plane to catch, we leisurely got ready to leave. They expected everybody to get off by 9:30 am, so they can prepare for a whole ship of new guests today. We ate our last breakfast on the Lido deck and strolled out for a couple of pictures by the back pool.
Laurie and Michelle went up to the Lido deck with all items removed from their room. We had only the carry on to collect from the room and met them. We disembarked at around 9:10. We picked up the luggage in the terminal and rolled them out to the SkyTrain. A train to New Westminster was waiting at the Waterfront Station, so we were in the apartment by 10:15.
What? There's nobody asking what we'd like for lunch. No staff will be looking after our every need. No one will be turning down the bed today with a creative towel animal and Lindor chocolates. Boy, this real life stuff is tough.
