We're Back

We're back; back from our Mexican cruise, back in Quartzsite, back in our trailer and back with friends. We had a wonderful cruise, I would highly recommend "Holland America" but it felt good to get "home" to our trailer. The week on the ocean, pampered it everything we did simply flew by in a blink. The crew made us feel like royalty, the food was delicious, varied and appealing, the evening performers were energetic and professional and the weather was perfect, sunny and warmer the further south we sailed. We had such a great time we plan on a cruise whenever we can get away. Here are a few pictures and I'll write more tomorrow:
Our ship the Oosterdam, 2,300 passengers, but we never felt crowded.

 We got a state room with a balcony, loved it.


 View from our balcony out across the Pacific Ocean.

 Three times around the deck = 1 mile. We tried to walk 3 miles a day. You can tell how successful we were when we get back to Toronto. Please be kind........ you know those buffets shrink clothes.
 No......... we didn't live on salads, but we did try and eat greens every day.
More pictures tomorrow.

  1. Ahhh a cruise. We have done 2 now and can't wait to do another one. It is so nice to be pampered. Glad you enjoyed the ship. I agree the smaller population on board is much more pleasant.
