Mike & Tracy's continuing adventures: B2B on Carnival Vista & Norwegean Getaway

[MikeyA53]

Great pictures of the port.

 

That P&O Cruises Britannia looks like a very large ship, too

.

 

Thank you. :D

[MikeyA53]

Thanks for the opportunity to relive this cruise with your excellent review and quality photos. Over the years, I've also enjoyed all your reviews.

 

I thought I recognized you when you were helping the juggler on his unicycle, now I know from where.

 

Looking forward to the balance of your review and your thoughts. We absolutely enjoyed this cruise and the ship. Our only negative (as is most folks) is the main showroom setup. Otherwise we had a blast. I was also impressed with the traffic flow, never seemed to be crowded. Once you learn to get in line 30 minutes before comedy shows, that issue also faded away.

 

Glad you enjoying this and my past reviews. :)

It’s funny that when they opened up the bar it was all girls who got in line first.

I remember your pictures from a previous review on this ship. Tracy is an awesome swimmer.

Really enjoying the review! May I ask what kind of camera you use for the underwater shots? They're excellent!

Normally I use my Nikon AW130 which I brought with me but when I started unpacking in our cabin the camera was not in my carry-on luggage. I had checked in my carry-on because the plane was full and therefore I assume that a baggage handler had stolen it. As a consequence I purchased a Fujifilm XP90 onboard for a decent price and used it for my underwater shots. At the end of our cruise, when I was retrieving the suitcases from under the bed, I found my Nikon that had fell out while I was unpacking. Therefore on our Norwegian cruise I used my Nikon.

Who else thinks Mike needs to take a few days off work to finish this review?? I love all the pictures!

[Hoot51]

I remember reading that earlier now! Sorry, but thanks for taking the time to answer.

I wasn’t going to try it again after my incident in 2013. If you read my review one of the crew mates was showing us how to swing with one arm and take a drink with the other. Well stupid me tried it and partially tore my right bicep.

 

One of the staff started bringing girls on his back and doing a flip.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tracy tried it

Tracy made friends with a couple of Spanish girls. They had difficulty communicating since the girls did not speak English but they managed somehow.
