Norweigan Spirit


Day one on the Norwegian Spirit (an American owned shipping line) was spent at sea and we quickly found our sea legs and a wine tasting!!    Tried six ‘progresive’ wines under excellent tutorage using interesting spices, nibbles and cheeses to tickle our taste buds.     We shared a table with some Bulgarians and Germans and formed our own ‘wine club’ then and there (as you do) resulting in our attendance that week at 3 other tastings – ‘New World’, ‘Old World’ and finally French wines – superb.     

Jeff was delighted to discover the karaoke bar one evening and exercised his vocal cords to great applause (our wine club members now morphed into a DJ Jeff fan club).   The range of other activities and entertainment was just endless – dance classes, origami, health seminars, fitness classes, quizzes, art exhibition, theatres, movies, casinos, card games, library, Jacuzzis, swimming pools.      It was an unforgettable experience with first rate customer service.

  1. Ohh...yeahhh... This was unforgettable experience,and we did had a lot of fun. I miss our wine club (DJ Jeff fan club). We definitely should do something to make this happen again ( not necessary at similar conditions).
