We're back from cruising the high seas!

What a fabulous time we had on the Norwegian Star for the past 7 days cruising to Mexico! What an amazing ship  - you name it, it has got it on board - a sailing city!  Lots of excellent food (5 specialty restaurants as well as 3  dining rooms, a 24hr buffet area, and pool buffet area! - we weren't hungry!), entertainment (saw 8 top class shows!) and relaxation - loved the deck chairs!  

We visited Cabo San Lucas and Puerto Vallarta, both beautiful Mexican holiday destinations. In Puerto Vallarta our friends from Bend, Oregon, Tom and Betty who were holidaying there, met us at the ship and hosted us for the day and showed us their beautiful Puerto Vallarta.


Everyone has to experience a cruise!
