From our balcony, I saw another Norwegian ship. The Jade is a smaller, older member of the fleet. It used to be named "Pride of America" with a Hawaiian itinerary. The ship holds 2402 compared to Escape's 4248 passengers. Amazing how far the ships have come in nine years. It seems ALL the cruise lines are building mega-ships.
Norwegian Escape public spaces are set predominately on three floors (6, 7, 8) and flow around the largest chandelier at sea. The colors are constantly changing...
Norwegian Escape is Barry's favorite ship. First I'll take you on the decks of the ship... come check it out!
Decks of cards and koozies were packed as part of a gift bag for the surprise... He figured out he was going on a cruise but he didn't know which ship and definitely didn't know what other surprises were in store for him!
With Mardi Gras beads, kazoo's, flutes, tambourines and other "band" instruments, the surprise was ready to be implemented... but first, Miami!!!
"de verwoeste stad" is a tribute to the Destroyed City. During WWII, Rotterdam was flattened by the Luftwaffe in the "Rotterdam Blitz" of World War. They built themselves back into a modern and lively city. Take a peek...
We got in as much as we could with only a short couple of hours... Old phone booths added to the historical feeling in Southampton. Of course, I couldn't just pass it by... I had to jump in and ham it up! Wouldn't you???
Chamber's Landing, located in Homewood, California is one of many lakefront restaurants in Tahoe. Whether you arrive by car, trolley or boat, the stunning views are worth putting on your itinerary...
Tahoe is a very seasonal area. Ski season is busy and summers are fantastic! This is why I only work during those two seasons.. I prefer summer warmth!
