We made one final stop in Palma on the quiet Spanish island or Mallorca. It’s a favorite destination for Europeans.
NCL
We spent today at sea. It was a bumpy ride back to Palma de Mallorca, Spain. But an invitation to tour the bridge made us forget about our motion sickness for a little while.
The highlight of this trip so far — other than interviewing the voice of SpongeBob, which I’ll do tomorrow — has been visiting Pompeii and Mt. Vesuvius.
When we pulled into port in Civitavecchia this morning, everyone wanted to know what we planned to do in Rome.
Here’s what we saw just moments ago as we pulled out of Livorno, Italy, on the NCL Epic. It was one of those postcard-perfect summer days on the Mediterranean coast when all you really want to do is hang out and do nothing.
This is the view from our cabin aboard the NCL Epic. Nothing but the ship’s wake and dark blue Mediterranean as far as the eye can see.
Accidents happen.
Mike and Mary Burchmore thought they’d dotted all of their “i”s and crossed all of their “t”s when they booked their South American cruise on the Norwegian Sun.
I’m not a big fan of cruises, in case you haven’t noticed. But I am a fan of Kevin Sheehan after his appearance on the CBS show Undercover Boss.
A lot can go wrong on a cruise, but Vanessa Williams’ sailing to the Bahamas on NCL’s Norwegian Sky had more than its fair share of problems.
Sonalika Rungta’s recent Bermuda cruise on the Norwegian Gem was hardly a treasured memory. At the end of her vacation, NCL presented her with two bills: one for the cabin she’d bought through a travel agency and another for the stateroom she accidentally bought through the cruise line’s Web site. Does she have to pay both?
