Our last day on the Zuiderdam was Friday. We watched the ocean slip by and knew that we were getting close when we started seeing land in the distance once more Friday afternoon. We spent the day doing ship things and packing up.Klep went to the disembarkation meeting after our leisurely breakfast. Mid morning we attended a cooking demonstration and learned a variation of Baked Alaska served with Cherries Jubilee. After lunch, we watched the celebrity cook-off between members of the senior crew. By four p.m. the bags were almost packed and we went down to the Promenade deck to meet MaryDale, Jane, Tom, and Sally to catch up and swap addresses. While there, several whales surfaced in the distance.
We sat together for the Master Chef dinner where the crew entertained us while they served a very special dinner that started with pate and ended with Baked Alaska. 
After that, we said our farewells and went to the eight o'clock show which featured a magician with his trained dog, and an accomplished juggler. It was marvelous fun!Some time during the night, our bags were picked up from outside our door. When we awoke, we were in port in Vancouver. Our disembarkation time was 8:55, so we had a leisurely breakfast in our stateroom before we headed off ship to clear customs in Vancouver.
