Hubby and I were very fortunate to cruise the British Isles a couple of years ago on the Grande Dame of vessels…the Queen Mary 2. Getting lost was always a definite possibility.
…but discovering all the nooks and crannies…was well worth the adventure…

You got that right. I’d never seen anything like it before, and I have been on a few cruises. Not a lot, but enough to know the difference.

wow, what an adventure! a grand adventure, for sure. if you hadn’t included the images of her on the water, it was almost unbelievable to think that this was all aboard a single vessel. thanks for sharing.

I think my mouth fell open when we walked through the main door into the portico. Like you, I couldn’t imagine a ship looking like a grand hotel land-side. It was quite simply…fantastically over-the-top.

It sure looks grand. I’m claustrophobic about boats so don’t see myself on one like that. I’ll stick to my kayak on my little lake!

ha, ha. At least the kayak’s yours…and you won’t find a cruise ship with thousands of people on your little lake. 🙂

It was. I felt like a princess…one of hundreds on board. ha, ha.

Grand is certainly the correct word for that. I would likely feel very out of place there. Too fancy for my blood.

My husband’s in the cruise business. The trip was shamelessly affordable. Neither of us came from rich…my single mom raised 9 children when dad died…my husband is the eldest of 12. The only way I can mingle with the upper crust is as a “stow away”…watching the supposed beautiful people waltz by as if in a dream. Theirs…not mine. I’m a homebody. My fantasy is snuggling with my family and furry critters in the warmth and coziness of a house filled with vintage furnishings and lots of laughs and love…and scrumptious eats! 🙂
