Barcelona, Bavaria, and Belfast
Barcelona, Bavaria, and Belfast. Saturday, October 11, 2014. Belfast: The Titanic and the Troubles. Raising a pint at "The Morning Star" pub. In Belfast, Ireland. We found the Irish brogue here very difficult to understand. It was embarrassing because obviously, we are all English-speakers, but sometimes, we couldn't understand a word they were saying. Honestly, we could understand the Germans with their broken English much better than the folks in Northern Ireland! Inside the museum, we took a cleverly ...

Incredible India
Tuesday, December 13, 2011. Delhi – Back to Delhi and Back to the USA. Our friend Helene welcomes us back to. Amarya Haveli (hotel) in Delhi. Our flight leaving Jodhpur for Delhi was delayed for over an hour. Of course, we had no idea what was going on since the announcements were unintelligible and there was no English signage of any kind in the airport. The flight was a dream when it finally arrived; a flashy new turbo prop high wing ATR-72/500 took us from Jodhpur to Delhi in little more than an hour.

Excellent customer service from the Ship's Front Desk – went above and beyond to accommodate us. Best buffet food of any ship we have ever sailed on. The Entert...
