The Grand Princess

We sailed for 12 days on the Grand Princess around the Mediterranean.
Our official honeymoon movie is Overboard though I question playing a movie so entitled (and worse like Titanic) whilst actually aboard a ship. Because I was sick pretty much the entire trip I spent more time than normal in our bedroom watching TV. (Gareth brought me food, it was great.)
Our room had mirrors at either end which made it seem not so small, and obviously the TV. There was an ensuite and a guy to clean up after us twice a day (he did have his own room, we didn’t store him in the closet).

The boat was huge, there were about 3000 guests as well as staff (numerous) and entertainers.

There were four swimming pools each with two spas, one was covered - all on level 14 which also housed the 24 hour buffet, pizzeria and grill. Among other things there was also a nightclub,

library, five restaurants (at least), computer room, art gallery - which had auctions, we saw one piece for $300,000! (even paintings by piccasso and someone else famous I can't remember), two theatre type things, a casino, lots of bars including a cigar bar, kids areas including a spacies room and a golf range.





These are paintings by a guy called Pino. When I get rich I'll get him to paint my portrait, shame he wasn't one of the artists on ship.
