Monarch of the Seas & Regal Princess
I was a little angry that the ship was so rusty.  I hate it when companies defer maintenance because they have some transition coming up and don't want to "bother" wasting the money.  Deferred maintenance is bad for the ship - rust should always be controlled - and I think it devalues the cruise for the people who have paid for it, regardless of what is going on with the ships' future.
Waiting for her departure was LA Fireboat #2.  I started to become very excited that they would put on a great show for us as she departed for the last time.
