It was an overwhelming experience for me to do this Cruise. I had done a cruise in Egypt before but that was a very small one, no comparison to the size of this one. It was always my dream to do one Cruise holiday. Along with our Italy holidays we also planned out a 1 week Cruise covering some of the Western Mediterranean places. The whole experience for me and family was joyful. There was so much to do in the place. It was a 24x7 entertainment package. Round the clock there was something or the other happening in the place. Variety of entertainment shows, musical bands, game shows, parties, food, drinks....it just kept going on and on.

I am not sure about the experience on other Cruise, but with NCL I can say that their Dining experience was the best. From what I had known from my friends, at the Cruise the Dining experience is nothing so great as they have all buffet systems. But here, they had fine dining seating for every guest included in the cost, and buffet services also. There were some limitations to the fine dining part, but still a fabulous offer.

I could not get the whole Cruise picture in one frame, it was huge to fit in my lens.

We are boarding, the formalities were completed very quickly. In an hour's time we were onboard, and I was so excited to start exploring.

It is 20 floor Ship, and we had our room on the 15th floor. While cruising there were not any views except for watching the Sea, but whenever we would get to the Port, it would be beautiful to get a glimpse of that city from the top view.

This is the guest services area. There were almost 3000 guests onboard, and I guess may be a 1000 crew. The crew service was applaudable. They were so very warm and friendly and always ready to help. It is a hard job for them, being on toes 24x7 is not easy. My room attendant was Ms. Joy, she was a bubbly girl and we would get into long conversations, she telling me about her family, job and all. From that I could understand that their life is not so easy and not at all glamorous as many think. Yes, but the money they get paid is good and that's what keeps them going.

The Pool Deck would be crowded all round the day. The day we started, there was a grand pool party and everyone was on the high.

Every evening me and hubby would watch the shows. They would have two grand shows during the day. One at 7 and one at 8.30. We would watch both of them.

This Show Choir of Man was a hit. Besides this I also loved one more show which was called Malevo.

A Casino was there. I am not so keen on this part, but hubby likes it. So he did play a small amount. Anyways here you always lose in the end, so I keep the strings pulled with him

The Decor of this place was very beautiful

This is the Shopping area. I liked one Ring very much. It was a Butterfly design ring. But hearing the price of it I almost fainted...hehehe...It was 6k Dollars.

There was also an Art exhibition and Sale. Some beautiful Art works. But everything here has a big cost.

For Children there was a huge Water Park. Even the grown ups enjoyed this. I am not fond of these things, so I only took a stroll around.

Such a beautiful experience it was. Will I do it ever again? Not sure, as of now I will say No, but future who knows.
