Just Cruisin'

Just catching up on 3 months Blog this afternoon 31^st March while aboard the Norwegian Spirit cruise liner sailing from Casablanca down the west coast of Africa to Tenerife, our destination tomorrow.    I have three months of Blog snippets to write as time has just slipped away with me since Christmas.   

But first this adventure, which it certainly is.    Jeff (my resident travel agent) spotted a lastmin.com type offer for this nine night cruise from Barcelona to Casablanca, Tenerife, Lanzarote, Malaga and back to Barcelona.    I was not that keen, as the idea being on a boat with 2000 other travelers plus about 1000 crew just did not appeal.     However we are now into day four and I can see what must appeal to millions of others – luxury!     From arrival at the quay side where our luggage was whisked away and magically appeared in our cabin, to 24/7 food available from a range of bars and restaurants, to non-stop entertainment (something to suit everyone), and excellent room service, it is all fabulously decadent.   The staff are amazing and seem to be on hand to cater for every whim.     The food is all inclusive, so on the down side the temptation to eat too much too often is strong, and the price of drinks (not included!!) is very high.
