I thought it was a good example of how something so simple could be made so attractive with just the use of color and a few, but strong architectural details.

It never felt crowded and the service and food was exceptional. My idea of sitting on the patio of our stateroom and enjoying the ocean breezes didn't work out...it made me seasick unless I concentrated on the distant horizon.

I like the color scheme of the architecture of the 8th photo — I would have wanted to take that shot, too, with that great blue accent!Mark D.

So good to hear that you didn't lose power. It has turned very cold here and no snow is coming our way.

Coming back to reality and below freezing weather was quite a shock. It had been unseasonably warm in our area before we left so I didn't expect it to be so cold. We should have stayed a little longer.

Didn't expect that. The Frida, et al painting, so different from the fine art of the ship was quite a contrast. I loved the earthiness and simplicity of this painting on the simple wooden bench. It fit Mexico to a tee.
