    After dinner, we came back to our stateroom to discover this lovely creature.

    It was only now that I realised we didn’t get towel animals every night. But it’s a little thing so it’s not a big deal. 
     
    We lazed around a little, recovering from food coma before heading for the production of Starwater at Two70. At 10.15pm, this was the last big show to take place on the ship. 
     

    The show did not disappoint and it was definitely my fav of all the 4 shows. It definitely showcased all the technology that makes Two70 and the Quantum class of ships a technological marvel. 
     
    Heading back to our room, one would think there was nothing more that would surprise us. We were wrong. 
     

    Eli had left us an amazing package of gifts. While I know it has been done before, I really wasn’t expecting it on a 3 night cruise. We were so touched we decided we needed to up the tip we were going to give her. I didn’t have anymore spare USD on me, so I went down to the ATM to get some. It’s worth it though, with everything she has helped us with. 
     
    And with that, day 3, our last day at sea, comes to a close. Le sigh ?

    Cue ‘Eye of the Tiger’ in the background. 
     
    In one corner, TeamCK with their speciality dining standard food that’s actually complimentary dining. Going out of their way to prepare the famous filet mignon at lunch on special request. 
     
    In the other corner, TeamChops with their signature steaks cooked to perfection. They know steaks and will do what it takes to prove it to you. 
     
    Jokes aside, for dinner we of course went to...Wonderland!!! *crickets*
     
    No, of course we went to Chops Grille. A few posts back, I spoke how I loved their bone-in ribeye more so than CK’s Filet. I was speaking how I was contemplating simply getting the ribeye again. Turns out, the choice was taken out of my hands as the ribeye was sold out. 
     
    But if I’m going to put these 2 against each other? I have to make sure the fight is fair. So, without further ado. 
     
    So, which do I prefer?
    Taste wise, I would say that both Chops and CK are almost on par. Chops filet was slightly heavier seasoned, so it had a stronger flavor on the crust. The flavor of the meat inside was about the same. 
     
    Cook of the meat. I would have to give this one to Chops. I eat my steak medium rare and I think Chops did a better job there. The CK filet was slightly over cooked, not enough to be bad but could tell it lost some of that moisture and tenderness of the filet. I also think that the sear was better at Chops. 
     
    So overall verdict. I think I’m firmly...TeamChops. Sorry @Lovetocruise2002. Please don’t hurt me. 
     
    Now that that’s done, here are some of the supporting actors. NY strip, Rack of lamb, apple pie and Key lime meringue. With a little cameo from Schooner, Peach Lava Flow

    After sweating out some of the UDP calories at the Seaplex, we headed back to our room to freshen up, not before dropping by the Bionic Bar. It was pretty packed so we didn’t grab a drink, though we did watch the dancing bots for a while. 


    We went ahead to our next show, headliner act John Taylor, a magic act. The show itself was good, with more participation compared to Steve Rawlings as it was in the Royal Theatre. While we know it’s all illusions and sleight of hand, it was fun to try figuring out how it was done, not successfully of course. 

    We had some time before dinner so we decided to have one more walk around the top deck to grab a refreshing drink at the pool bar as well. 

     
    It has just sunk in that the cruise is over in less than a day. I’m gonna miss this view. ?
    Oh well, good things must come to an end. At least dinner can brighten the mood. Not to mention, I’m on a mission.

    Before lunch, we headed over to the music hall for a little Harry Potter Trivia. 

    After which, we went over to CK for our lunch. I think personally, this was the least impressive meal so far. Almost all the dishes were just passable, the salmon and chicken were pretty dry. 

    After lunch, we headed over to the Seaplex for foosball and Table Tennis.
