So you would like to see some pictures of the ship, wouldn’t you? Well, even if you wouldn’t, I’m going to show them to you, at least part of them, because I’ve got the pictures next up on my 85 zillion picture camera what-cha-ma-call-it storage thingy. Besides, now that it’s 95 degrees HERE at home, I’m rather missing the lovely cool (and wet) weather we enjoyed (most of the time) whilst on our Baltic cruise, not to mention the prepared-and-served-special-as-you-request-delicious meals and no need to clean up afterwards service, so I won’t. Mention it. But I do remember it fondly. Such luxury~!
If you have taken a cruise on one of these huge ships, you know that they are like a hotel—a resort-style hotel as they include all the amenities you can imagine. Above is the Solarium indoor pool. The Solarium had an Indian theme. (Yes, there was food involved, too, in the Solarium, mostly snacks and light meals and coffee and, well, you get the idea.) Here are some more pictures of it:
One of the two hot tubs around the larger pool.
Elephants—and see the bridge below in the picture?
In the center of the ship, looking down at the Centrum of the ship……
with elevators (5) on one side
along with a stairway,
there were open balconies (I believe around 10 levels). Here is a picture of some of the balconies:
There was a casino on the ship, too…….
Above a loveseat in one of the bars.
Many cruise-themed vignettes to look at as one strolled from one section of the ship to another……
It was a beautiful ‘hotel’ on water complete with a huge theater and many restaurants, pools, track, large well-equipped workout room, volleyball court, outdoor pool and hot tubs and about anything one could desire. In the Centrum, one evening, a trapeze act performed—right up to the top of the Centrum (10 or so levels). Quite astounding.
Another bar, gathering area
Above, a lounge area with a bar and also a stage
where we listened to some talks about the places we visited.
Wait a minute! There is that man again!
