Market Friday goes Cruising Part ll

Today is #MarketFriday initiated by @dswigle (Denise, that's me!!) Please join me as we share different markets across this globe of ours. I always look forward to experiencing life through your eyes! It is amazing to see so many different markets and the different cultures.

I would be remiss if I didn't bring you a Part ll for the cruise ship as I didn't really cover nearly half of it. Are you ready? Life preservers packed? Let's go! If you missed Part l - you can find it here.

The first time I saw a car parked on the promenade of a ship, I couldn't believe my eyes. Why? Well, it does make a nice addition to the photo ops around and quite nice to be sure. No, I didn't. If I wasn't driving it, I wasn't faking it. To be clear, the promenade is the wide boulevard or main walkway where people stroll. It is usually the widest part of the ship, as far as boardwalks.

I have been to so many new places lately! Oh! The curiosity that is attached to foreign ingredients, different produce or any product sold. So, yes! I would love to see yours! Don't forget to take photos wherever you happen to be shopping - whether it be the grocery store, the local marketplace or even an art gallery. Wherever money is exchanged for a service or for merchandise. Be different if you wish! It does not have to be a traditional market! We will love it! I promise you! Don't forget to use the hashtag #MarketFriday and @dswigle.

But first, a flower. Always a flower.

The loveliness of you never escapes me
May I gaze upon you, always and a day?

There are cooking classes. You can learn to make sushi, decorate cakes and many other delectable delicacies. If you are lucky, you get selected from the audience and get an up close and personal demonstration.

But, then again...

Sometimes everyone is part of the class. It depends on what they are doing, such as sushi! Everyone gets to make their own roll!

Please leave the link to your post on here so it can easily be found by others. They will all be in one place. Where else can you take such a quick trip around the globe? Thank you! ❤



Last time I counted, there were five pools on this ship, plus the kiddie pool. That is a lot of pool. Now granted, they don't make them too big, but nice enough that you can have an enjoyable time without too much suffering.

Nobody is allowed to suffer here.

The North Star

The Quantum-class ships have what is referred to as "The North Star" which is a glass-enclosed little pod that holds people and would remind you of a small London Eye. The picture of the pool was taken from the North Star. It really gives you quite the view.

And, yes! I have gotten stuck up there, for about ten minutes on two separate occasions. Yikes! Third time is the charm, right??

This is Horseshoe Beach, one of the many islands that litter the Caribbean, just waiting to burn you!

Another private space, where you and your loved one can go to sit and talk.

It's also great for a little people watching!

The food is glorious and the portions are generous. If they have two entrees and you can't make up your mind, they encourage you to order two.

They will not let you leave hungry or unsatisfied. Satisfaction is guaranteed!

Your chefs and wait staff are the best. Five Star ***** best!

There is roller skating, ice skating bumper cars, a casino to name a few things. There is also Broadway plays and opera. There is entertainment every night

You will not be disappointed!

There is a full-size Merry-Go-Round in Central Park. This ship has actual neighborhoods. They even have Coney Island and a hot dog stand.

Geodes suspended from the ceiling. Simply delightful!

The poolside movies shown every night is a favorite of many. It's late and it is time to relax and enjoy a movie while you swim or while you sit in the beach chairs. A nice way to end the evening.

There is a turn-down every night and there is a special little "something" left for you. It is never the same, usually something different and quite delightful!
