Belieze-on NCL

I love cruising and one of my favorite ships is the Norwegian Spirit. It is constantly voted the number one ship in their fleet. We have taken the same cruise out of New Orleans for the past five years-it is excellent. Friends always ask us what ports we will visit-we actually don’t care about the ports. We will be cruising on a beautiful ship with gourmet food and constant professional entertainment in tropical sunshine- it is a win, win situation.


If you have cruised a lot, you have gone swimming with the stingrays and dolphins, snorkeled on the reefs, and seen the Mayan ruins. If you want something different -go local. Visit local bars, food markets and shops- out of the tourist area. This trip I had my hair cut in local barbershop. It was a small shop with about five guys sitting around. I sat down and they said I was next-they were the regulars, hanging out. The barber’s name was Cruise and we had a great time. After the cut it was “Miller Time” and one of the regulars went out for a case of Belkin, the local beer. We had a super time-they even invited us to sign their wall-official barber shop loafe. rs
