CRUISING ON THE NORWEGIAN PEARL

For both of my readers who might actually miss this blog - warning: I'm taking the next week off.


No, I'm not going fishing. Sandy & I are booked on the Norwegian Pearl - in an 'anti-penthouse' interior cabin. 


Hey, we're cheap & we'd rather spend our travel bucks on travel than portholes.


Anyway, my son Scott is manning the condo while we enjoy the wonders of Ocho Rios, Grand Cayman, Cozumel  & Norwegian owned Grand Stirrup. 


Yes, we could have schlepped along our computers, trudged them to island Starbucks or paid the exorbitant on ship wifi fees (Ok, we all know that's not gonna happen. Have you forgotten - we're cheap) to write our daily musings....


But, I've always been a believer that it's much better to enjoy an experience than to hole in a dark interior cabin to write about it...


So, this week, we're living life & 'experiencing'. Next week, I'll tell you all about it.


Prepare for pics & prattle about the famous - Dunn's River Falls, Stingray City, Tulum, etal - & about the unusual that occurs during Caribbean water travel.


I'll also give hints about how to survive a week aboard the Norwegian Pearl. With nearly a million restaurants, room service & enough activities to fill a year, I know it'll be tough, but remember - we're trained professionals.


Anyway, 'bon voyage' to all 'till next week.


And if you really get bored - why don't you join us: take a week & 'experience'. 


It will add an extra 'ho' or 2 in your 'ho, ho, ho' holiday season.

  2. Hey Jane. Yes, Deck 7 is the place to get your fill of 2nd hand smoke & huff more than your share of paint fumes. But, if you go to Deck 12, the shorter jogging/walking path (5+ times around = 1 mile) is fairly tar, nicotine & paint fume free. The lap pool was short & cold. All the cones were free.
