Mediterranean Cruise

Destinations:

Introduction & Map

Cruises are not something we had ever done or planned to do.  When Deborah's parents offered to treat us to a cruise around the Med, we took them up on their kind offer.  We left from Albany airport and flew to JFK.  From there, we flew to Madrid and then to Barcelona, which was where we set sail.  We had no chance to look around either Barcelona or Marseille, unfortunately.  It was a very arduous trip, especially for Deborah's parents.  Never having seen a cruise ship close-up, when we first saw it, it seemed huge.  We were to find that it was only average.  Our room, sorry, cabin, was small but comfortable, with a window looking out to sea.  The staff were really good, although one or two were a little obsequious.  Overall, it was a fun experience.  We were a little surprised at how rude some of the older passengers were, but managed to work around that. 

Anyway; here are some pictures of the ship and the places we visited; just choose a destination on the left, or click on the place on the map.  Note that not all pictures are original.  But, unless stated otherwise, all non-original pictures are free of copyright.
