BEFORE THE 3,600 OF US DISEMBARK,

                                                                   HERE'S A LOOK AT OUR SHIP

                                                                         THE ROYAL PRINCESS

Our voyage began with the sighting of a rainbow out our stateroom window

Good to see lifeboats, too

 

The upper deck, where movies and the games of The World Cup Soccer Tournament were shown

 

 

 

Not too crowded; not too warm outside...

 

 

 

 

 

Jeff is standing on a special walk way.  The floor has squares that are windows providing a view all the way down to the water!

It is hard to capture the grandeur of the grand central lobby.  This staircase is one of many

The High Tea menu

 

Jeff joins us the next time

Another view of the Grand Lobby, with Joan and Jeff having a grand time

Meanwhile, Archie enjoys her favorite...unlimited twirled soft serve ice cream....John is off getting his 4th of the day....

We clean up nicely for the Captain's Dinner that night

 

As do Jeff and Joan

We thoroughly enjoyed our Waitress, Natalya, from the Ukraine

We also enjoyed checking out (and purchasing) artwork for our respective homes

Then it's time for that good ol' rock 'n roll 

After 12 fabulous days of cruising together........Archie and John head to Budapest (and Poland), while Jeff and Joan fly to Paris, spend a few nights, then take the train to Normandy
