We returned 12/27 after an enjoyable week on the NCL Viva. There is a relatively new ship. Kids love it! There is a race track, miniature golf, pickle ball, darts, splash pad for the little kids, two 10 story drop water tubes, escape room, arcade, etc. We enjoyed watching the kids, deciding not to partake of anything that moved too fast!
After being disappointed (in that the specialty restaurants on the Dawn had not been any better than the Main Dining Room in our estimation), we skipped the $60 surcharge for the specialties. There were lots of places besides the main dining room and buffet to eat and we enjoyed all of it!
“Beetlejuice the Musical was their Broadway entertainment! And we hated it. No intermission so we lost 1 hour and 45 minutes of our lives that we will never get back. However, their Icons show was fabulous! They had two comedians, both funny but the one we saw three times (by accident) and it was the same show each time. He performed with the other fellow two times who did different stuff so that’s how we were roped into three times of the same jokes. Getting a good seat in the theater was never a problem.
I had a ton of laundry when we got home, four loads and I have a huge washer! Then there was the mail. New Year’s Eve we went to dinner at a restaurant across from the movie theater and saw Song Sung Blue that I thought was spectacular! Of course I am a huge Neil Diamond and Patsy Cline fan! The music was just what I like. But I didn’t realize it was a true story of a legend singing couple until the closing credits. It’s a “don’t miss” in my book!
We attended Mass New Year’s Day and had breakfast at the Waterfall Cafe (complete with fresh squeezed OJ) and then after Mass on Saturday evening we had Italian at Adriatic Cafe.
New Year’s Day evening we had neighbors in for snacks and drinks. Enjoyable evening to end our Christmas season.
I really missed being with the kids on Christmas even though we FaceTimed Christmas Day and the following weekend when they were all together. I am pretty sure we will go to Michigan next year unless they come here. That would be great!
