Norwegian's dinners are decent, not great, but acceptable.  Glasses of wine are free if you have the drink package.  A bottle it NOT free however.  You can drink four glasses free but not a bottle for free.  We usually do one or two dinners in their upscale restaurants and I'd call them pretty good overall, and you get a break on the price.  They are equivalent I'd say to a local place that would be $80-100 per couple (no wine).  They charge about $40.  They also are more intimate and with better more attentive service of course.

One can of course pay more and get a more exclusive cruise line and likely enjoy it more.  

The wife has a good friend in Yakima so we're staying after the cruise and exploring a bit and driving down there which is near wine country.

We've done 5 Princess Cruises in the past (before kids), one Carnival for a friends wedding and 5 Disney Cruises and now going on Royal Caribbean.    Actually adding these up we are on #12, not 14.   

While I'm not a Disney park fan (one and done for me), the family really enjoys the cruises.   I actually think they've been the best so far as well.   More expensive than the others we've been on or will be going on in March, but food/service/entertainment is great.  Kids love it too.   Every night was a rush from dinner to the kids clubs.  We'd pick them up at midnight.  It was date night for my wife and I every night on the cruise.

We will be using Azamara again at the end of April, for a cruise out of Civitavecchia, to Venice. It's 8 nights with a lot of stops. Much different than the Trans-Atlantic we just did in November.
 
 
I really like sea days. Not a lot of decisions to make on those. I was also able to work 1/2 days on that trip, so I only burned a week out of the 7 weeks I get per year.
 
 
I figured we better see Venice before it's gone. A nice German couple we met on the last one will be picking us up in port and show us a good time at their place in Peschiera del Garda. Then we take a train to Florence, and then to Rome. Then plane to home.

But of course. 


Our German friends (met them on the Trans Atlantic cruise) are picking us up at FLL, and we start at one of my favorite joints. Rustic Inn, in Fort Lauderdale. Can't beat the crab there.


Just went out to smoke a Swisher with a little Jonhnie Red. That lasted about a minute.

Yeah, 62 degrees earlier today (we had a 2 hour school delay for freaking fog), now the wind is howling and it on its way to 12.

I took my kids on a Carnival cruise way back and they had a blast.

Norwegian is slightly "upscale" and has fewer kids.  

We hit 80°F here yesterday which broke the record by 6°F, which is quite a bit.  It was actually kind hot walking fast outside.

Cooler today of course but still nice.

In the middle of our very own frigid stretch here in SoCal. It dropped to/below 32 the other night, and the locals on Facebook were all talking about how to get the frost/ice off their windshields. Had couple days with lows in the mid-30s and highs in the mid-50s, and as I say this it's only 39 right now with a high of 61 predicted today.

Looks like a lot of rain and chilly weather the next week or so as well, with highs most days in the mid-50s. But it doesn't look like we should revisit the same lows--only one day in the next week is forecast for the low to dip below 40.
