Your purple and black and green dress is so cute! Those cantilevered hot tubs - very cool! And, would it be a flop-off for the belly flop tiebreaker?Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17080234678735797629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1351602114966191182.post-34305383310243457902017-03-12T20:15:10.459-04:002017-03-12T20:15:10.459-04:00Glad to see your report and your pictures - I'...Glad to see your report and your pictures - I'd been wondering how you'd like this ship. It was one of our very favorites - we went on the holiday cruise right after Christmas last year, and I'm so glad we did, and got in one holiday cruise. All the Christmas decorations were up and beautiful, with a huge tree at the end of the promenade. We liked the ice show a lot too - wish they'd been doing Grease as entertainment then! I loved the promenade; it seemed to give focus to the ship and I loved sitting in the cafe and having coffee and pastries while people watching. We never saw the casino (and appreciated it being so out of the way compared to most ships, so it was interesting to see your pictures of it. Also of the martini bar. I always think I want to go to a bar, especially the martini bar, but end up not wanting to when I get the chance! I'd love to take another cruise on this ship. So glad you could go! Sorry about your breathless interlude - scary indeed - glad it didn't reoccur!Martha Huntleynoreply@blogger.com
