Random Thoughts

This is my first cruise without Charlie. It was really bittersweet. The Burial at Sea creramony was very nice. NCL staff was very accommodating and I appreciate all of my cruise mates that attended. It meant a lot to me

I hadn't been on a NCL cruise since the early 80s so I really had nothing to compare it to. The food was OK...not great. There was no lobster or shrimp cocktail in the main dining room and the specialty restaurants were good but not great!  I Guess I am comparing the food to either Princess orCelebrity but it's possible that they are not as good as they were when I was cruising with Charlie.

The ship layout was easy to figure out. The ship had just come from being refurbished. The cabin was comfortable. Bed was good! Air was good! Didn't see our cabin Steward but the cabin was taken care of well. Really,no complaints regarding the ship.

There were no Mah Jongg games on the ship!! That is a negative!!

The official line dance classes were pretty much a bust for our group. We did not know many of the dancing. We had fun line dancing several evenings to some of the bands

Gloria and I spent time in the casino.....both of lost a little money but had a good time.

All in all, we had a great time. The excursions were fun and the drink package was appreciated!!
