I see the hawser coming off the back in the 2nd one & have always wondered why they don't have a water skiing option, too! :D

Thanks for commenting.
The first photo is at the beginning of the cruise in Venice the second was in the harbor at Mykonos.
The wide structure at the front of the ship is the bridge. The structure at the rear that looks like a rear wing is the Skywalker Lounge, quite cool.

I hope they gave you a map when you boarded? A person could get lost for weeks.

So, did you eat your way through the decks? I'm always afraid to go on cruises because I'd probably skip the exercise and eat my way through the trip. My friend goes on one every year and gains 10 pounds every time. She loses the weight, but still. I can't imagine not eating if you pay for it beforehand. But the day trips must be just wonderful. I'd like to that sometime. Looks like you had 2 passengers/staff. That's amazing.

Suzie: Eating is a part of the experience. We ate breakfast and lunch on the ship but puposely ate lunch on every Greek Island as well as Garlic Mussels in Croatia and Turkish Samplers in Kusadasi. Skip always gains 10 lbs on a week long trip but he only gained 3 lbs on this 17 day trip! Me? I lost 5 lbs. We walked/hiked/climbed many miles every day. No wonder Europeans aren't fat!

We were still discovering new places the last day of the trip. There was something for everyone.

It's definitely a floating city. I'm sure the nighttime entertainment was bottoms up.
