Cruise Ship (2/3 posts)

A few details about our ship; Navigator of the Seas (Royal Caribbean).

The fresh fruit was plentiful and well loved by all. Those grapes, pineapples, pears and strawberries were such a fine snack for a prego woman. The effort and time it took to prepare all 20,000 meals per week was astonishing.



Inside the boat were elevators, chandeliers, water features, and the list goes on and on. Hard to believe that we were afloat water with so much HEAVY equipment...still in awe of how we got from one point to another in one piece. I was swaying back and forth for days, as if I was still walking on the cruise...the hum of the engine rocked me to sleep nightly.



Oh the towels! One of my favorite parts:
Buddah
Snake and armadillo

Puppy (or was it an elephant?)
The crazy chimpanzee just chillin'
So, not only does the room attendant in charge of cleaning up our nasty germs, but he also has to hand make all of these towels into figurines. Wonder if he ever got tired of it, or saved the left over ones from the night before if still in tact? I sure would! Reuse, reduce, recycle. "Save the waves" was all over the bathroom to not use too much water.
The main "street" was the Royal Promenade...this led you to the 24 hour a day cafe/dessert area, live music, ice skating rink, theatre, main plaza and gift shops. Not sure who the statue was.
More crazy carvings! How long does that take to make? How long do the watermelon's stay fresh? Do they use them eventually for a fruit salad? All my questions unanswered!
Ahhh...the welcome table at the WindJammer Cafe, anchor ice sculpture and all. The salad bar was delightful everyday. That is where my salami fetish began, and continued for a few weeks later back at home.
One more look from above looking down.
As we left our heavenly trip, it was time to restock and load back up. More toiletries please... all those crates are just of TP! We left the cruise by 10:30am, and the next passengers were boarding up by 11am. Not much of any "down time" for cruise staff....sigh...we wanted to protest, sneak back on, and go again!

Even a quick paint touch up!
