It's so uplifting seeing all your fabulously sunny photos. You are definitely getting weather pixie dust from somewhere :)

 

Have you any more cruises planned?

I always post a link at the last cruise with a link to the new cruise so you can come along … I need the Caribbean cruise to relax and rest 😂

I loved Malta.  It was very beautiful but very expensive.  The tour if it wasn’t for the excursion credit I would have thought it was over priced.

Day 3 Garden Cafe

 

NCL WINS !  Windjammer just can NOT compare.  I am not loyal to one line … I call it as I see it.  Every line has its good and bad… but Windjammer just can’t compare to Garden Cafe. I am always impressed at the number of pudding/jello/mousse the Windjammer and come up with instead of a good selection of cakes and custard.  Also the lack of ice cream station is shocking at the Windjammer.

 Thank you Windjammer.  If you had lavish cakes each day, I would have to be buying stretchy pants to wear towards the end of the cruise! LOL

The cakes on here are amazing… they don’t do so much of that jello in the cup or mousse in a cup thing that Windjammer loves so much!

Day 5 Messina

 

So I took a tour to Taormina because it’s so far away and I didn’t want to go to Mt.Etna as I wanted to see the old town and check out the shops.

 

The guide Sergio was amazing!  Kept us laughing gave us history lessons and food lessons.  I liked the information he provided better than the tour 😂
