We attended the Grand Finale Champagne Art Auction at 2:30 which was highlighted by a 10-minute Salvador Dali and Walt Disney collaboration on a short film called Destino. Apparently Dali and Disney never finished the project in their days but Roy Disney revived it back in 2003 and brought it to completion. After watching Destino several related art items from the film were auctioned though I don't remember anyone bidding on them. The auction ended at around 4:20 and we rushed, almost in a panic, to the Stardust Lounge. Several times yesterday Linda our Cruise Director kept reminding everyone to attend a special performance by crew members today at 4:15 PM at the Stardust Lounge. She said it was a "Must-see" and a "Do-not-miss". But we were relieved to see that the show had not started when we got there. Basically it was more hilarious than spectacular, and that's all I'm going to say about it ;-). Before the actual "Fountains" show, some crew members did good jobs showing off their talent with songs and dances. Everyone gave them a standing ovation at the end.
For dinner We decided on the health-conscious Pacific Heights restaurant. For appetizer we had several orders of steamed mussel in wine broth. It was absolutely delicious. I had steam fish which was wrapped in paper, while my wife had the grilled pork chop. We were certainly impressed with how flavorful the dishes were despite how they were supposed to be low-fat and low sodium. The dessert dishes we tried were not great, but it wasn't surprising considering the restraints of sugar & fat the chefs had to work with.
After dinner we were treated with an entertaining show called "cirque Pan". It was display of acrobatic moves, dances, and songs re-telling the story of Peter Pan. We were very impressed- it was the best performance by the Jean Ann Ryan company and they had some pretty darn good ones earlier on the cruise. Afterwards we headed to the Dazzles Disco for "The Liars Club". This was a "game show" involving a panel of celebrity guests telling the audience what he or she thought was the true definition of vague words. The panel consisted of Linda our cruise director, Jennifer Fair, and Jean Pierre Parent. It was pretty entertaining as the audience tried to figure out who was lying and who was tellin the truth.
Then it was time for the Chocoholic Buffet at the Four Seasons Dining Room. Basically it was an all-you-can-eat deluge of chocolate desserts and treats. what I found most impressive about the whole spectacle were the chocolate decor- a large plaque made of chocolate, a huge book made of chocolate, and even a chocolate dinosaur. The desserts themselves were fairly good but nothing spectacular (like the ones from Le Bistro).
After we stuffed our face we decided to take some pictures and then go workout at the Fitness Room on Deck 11. There was no one else exercising there (it was about 1:30 AM). The cool thing about the treadmills and the Stairmasters was that each was outfitted with an LCD TV so you can watch television while you workout. Oddly enough we couldn't get the sound to work, but that may be intentional to keep guests working out from bothering each other.
