Leaving New Orleans	Too cold for the pool in this climate. That's why we are heading for the Caribbean in January
A cake for Joe's 74th birthday We prefer the main dining room for dinner	After all the free gold charms I've collected from Diamond International at every port on our trips, Here is the present Joe bought there for ME for HIS birthday, a sparkly pendant
The buffet was great for breakfast and lunch	A great selection every meal with different cultures being featured each day with extra dishes
Early risers have the ship to themselves	Except for the hardworking crew
View from the Sun Deck	On this deck you could walk around the entire perimeter of the ship
Mirrors, mirrors everywhere!	A vending machine for WINE!
An interesting art auction, preceded by an art history lesson Free champaign too!	The official artist of the next Olympic Games
Our "last minute" cabin was on deck 13 forward We could see the captain on the bridge	Considering a cruise on a sailing ship?
Our hardworking cabin steward was very attentive and well trained in towel art
We always found buffet seating by the window in the stern	One day there was a beautiful rainbow
