Europe June of 2015

One never knows how much your depend on the Internet until you don't have it for a while. Cruise ship costs for Internet were ridiculous and it was difficult to find wifi on the short times we were on land.
So I ma going to play catch up, as we are now in Barcelona until Thursday. It actually feels good to be in a roomy, yet simple European hotel room. Equipped with a bidet of course.

In any case, we began the trip in Barcelona, where we took a quick cruise to Barcelona's Cathedral before boarding our ship. We just got a taste of this beautiful city until we return in a week.

Day 1 on the ship was a sailing day. The cruise ship houses 4500 people, 3K guests and 1700 employees. It is the biggest ship Norwegian has and it felt that way. Just pulling out of Barcelona required some maneuvering, as it completely turns the boat around to sail out.

I want to say I was most impressed with the talent in the entertainment portion of the ship, but I always felt like I was in an SNL skit and Bill Murray was going to jump out from behind the piano. They did have circ de soleil, which was quite good. So, we spent a lot of time at the pool. And having a beverage card soothed the eye rolling, as we could drink to our hearts content. A good ting and as bad thing really.

Tomorrow I am reporting on Naples.
