Baltic Bliss

I don't really know where to begin other than to say that I have just experienced the best vacation I have ever had. I really don't think there was anyone on the ship that enjoyed themselves more than I did. I definitely got my moneys worth! For starters, I think I enjoyed everything even more because I was coming from Belgium to be on a cruise with a bunch of Americans (2700 passengers on the ship and over half were from North America). When you live away from your country for 2 1/2 years, it is the little things that are so wonderful. For instance:
--free ice water with every meal!
--free ice with any drink you wanted!
--over 15 U.S. television stations!
--customer service!
--people stood in line and didn't try to cut you off!
--everyone spoke English and understood the little idioms you said!

These things alone were enough to make a good vacation for me, but to top it all off the cruise ship had a 24 hour food buffet, 4 swimming pools, loads of activities and entertainment all day and night, lots of people for me to meet, and it stopped in 7 ports!

I'm still working on the photos, but in the meantime, here is a slideshow of some of my favorites.
