Today is Wednesday, May 11 or at least I’m reasonably sure
that’s correct. That’s another beauty of
cruising casual is the dress code of the day and time becomes somewhat irrelevant.
We’re on a Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) ship right now, the
Norwegian Sun. We enjoy NCL and Royal Caribbean
because they are very casual which conforms to my philosophy that I don’t go on
vacation to play dress up. I guess some
people enjoy this but I’m not a part of that crowd. On another cruise line in the elevators they
actually have a mat of carpet that they change every day that shows you the day
of the week, if for some strange reason you think it is important.
We have also discovered recently that we enjoy Holland
America which has an undeserved reputation of being the cruise line for the
nearly dead. What we discovered on
Holland America is that there is a very lively crowd of interesting people who
stay up late, dance, sing, have traveled the world and tell great stories.
On the next “Beauty of Cruising” post we’ll explore
observations of my fellow passengers and the buffet.
