"Rotterdam" Europe Travelogue by seagoingJLW

Europe Travel Guide: 816,413 reviews and 1,687,077 photos

Visited Barcelona in Spain, Monte Carlo in Monaco, Civitavecchia in Italy (for Rome), Naples in Italy, Valetta in Malta, Kusadasi in Turkey, Patmos in Greece, Katakolon in Greece, and Venice in Italy.

There are ample lounges around both swimming pools. The heated fresh water pool is on the Lido Deck. This is the Lido Deck pool which has a sliding cover. You can see the poolside bar in the background.

Sculpture

This photo shows the seal sculpture near the pool.

Tanning

Here I am enjoying the sun near the Lido Deck pool.

Lido Deck

Here are Irwin and I seated near the pool on Lido Deck.

Dining Room

With Friends

Here we are in the La Fontaine Dining Room with our friends Ron and Ted. Need I add that the food is absolutely magnificent? It really is whether you eat here, in the Lido Café, at the Grill on Lido Deck or in the alternative restaurant, the Odyssey, which serves excellent Italian food sumptuously.

Atrium

Clock Tower

The clock tower in the Atrium makes a very definitive statement as your first contact with the ship's interior.

Hard to believe that some people would pay others to relieve them of their task of working in a library! (This comes from a librarian ...)

The Ocean Princess was not that steady a ship. I had travelled twice on the Ocean Princess in the 80's. I heard it had gone down in the 90's, reporting no casualties.

Hi -- How did you like the song of norway ? on a scale of 1-10? I know it was an older ship but I've heard good things about it.

I've only been on 1 cruise so far, (around the Caribbean), but it was a great way to travel, and I hope to do it again sometime. Your photos reminded me of my trip!
