Returning to Barcelona we met our ship, the Navigator of the Seas, at the port. It was huge--by far the largest ship we had ever sailed on, with 3100 passengers.

The decorations on the ship could be a little idiosyncratic. There was an exhibit devoted to Einstein's Theory of Relativity and also this model of the solar system.

The focal point of the ship was this multi-story Promenade--entirely enclosed.
|
Most of the elevators were glass-enclosed to provide a view of the Promenade--a major challenge for those afraid of elevators, heights, or both.

As with all ships, there were the usual pools, sun decks, chairs, and so forth, although the weather was cool enough to make them less popular than usual.

Fun and games: Like all cruises, this one had it share of things to do. We didn't participate in many activities, but we did play trivia several times. We did OK, winning a couple of games, but our favorites were the Name That Tune trivia games. One was 70's music and we only got about two bars of any song--proving that all 70's songs sound the same! (Our younger teammates kept us from being completely disgraced.) We did much better at 60's Name That Tune, although we didn't win, but the real fun was the rollicking sing-along with a bar full of aging baby boomers that ensued when the answers were revealed.

| On a more traditional note, there was Advanced Napkin Folding, led by a young man who had NO idea how to fold napkins into anything except squares. | And there was towel origami, although none of us was as good as our cabin steward--we especially liked the pig. | |
