Royal Caribbean: Mariner Of The Seas

-
Cruising in the middle of nowhere just you with your family and the breeze that gently strokes your skin. A huge mall with an hotel, along with the sensational view of the seven oceans. Having some of the best activities from this globe for its residents during the day and turns into one of the biggest party locations in the night... Welcome to Mariner of the Seas 



 I have been in more cruises than I can count but this particular cruise really caught my attention. One of the biggest problems for most people is too much to do but very little time. Well I was able to accomplish my goal of being able to do almost every activity that was offered. Not because the activities were very few but because the ship was made in a way by which one can get from place to place within a blink of an eye. With activities ranging from mini golf to ice skating, basketball to watching movie in the pool. Not to include the many shows, some world class people performed for us.

The ice under the big top was one of the shows I watched. I am not a big fan of ice skating but after that show, there was nothing, not even the wrath of god could stop me from ice skating. I wasn’t able to do the many difficult stunts they pulled off but they were personally there to help us learn and maybe one day be like them. I actually learned quite a bit in just two hours, I must say apart from great performers they are great teachers... 

 
The second show I saw was a mesmerising orchestra performed along with a graceful dance telling a beautiful story of our predecessors. After which I not only started liking orchestra but also aced my history test!! 

I know many people who have been on numerous cruises and only about complained their food. The food I got to eat at this cruise is some of the best food I have ever eaten, top notch. Not only was it tasty but freshly cooked. The chef was kind enough to alter some of his dishes (especially for us) to suit are liking's. The best part was no matter where we were, no matter what time of the day or night there was a restaurant  open for us to feed our famished stomachs. 

Moreover, they had the friendliest staff I have ever met. I am pretty sure if I spent another week with them they’d become like family. The person in charge of my room was like a friend. He knew each one of our names, everyday whether it was the day or late night he was there, greeted us every time. Some of the best hospitality, one doesn’t even get to see this kind of hospitality in hotels.

This cruise especially has been one of the best and one that I would remember for life. Thanks a lot, Royal Caribbean team for the wonderful experience. At the end of the day I just had one complain, why couldn’t there be more hours in the day or more days in my cruise journey...

One in a Million There I stood in the middle of the street and watched the world pass by. Tired working professionals in their sharp coats returning home from a long day of work. Tourists with layers of jackets, not used to the low temperatures carrying their many shopping bags. The energy was high, you could feel the happiness, you could see the joy. With a blink of an eye I could see a million shutters click and flash light shine in my eye. Temperatures so low, so cold, the wind sweeping you of your feet. Strong and fierce enough to drag you across the street. I look up to see the serene sky but all I see is many buildings with their advertisements lit up and glowing. I look at the ads which filled the sky, like none other. Reflecting the light stood several little snow-covered trees, shrubs and plants. The strong smell of freshly baked pretzels filled the air. Sirens blared and people chattered, my heart so loud, so audible, pounded right out of my chest. Pe...

35000 Smiles In The Air

Some years ago, travelling was just moving around in your own city or going to nearby cities but today, thanks to the Wright brothers and evolution of aircrafts we are able to fly to new cities, new countries and new continents. Welcome back to my blog!! Today I would be sharing with you an amazing flight experience I had recently. Whenever it comes to flying 35,000 feet in the air I always keep a certain set of criteria’s in mind. Like for this trip my criteria were: good flight entertainment, seat comfort, enough layover time, good food and a good airport thus I chose the leading career Etihad. I flew with Etihad to Athens (Greece) via Abu Dhabi, from Mumbai. I was flying the A330 from Mumbai and the A320 from my stopover in Abu Dhabi. To start with, the people at the check in counters were friendly and welcoming but with the mid night rush in a hurry they punched in my bags with my friend’s passports and his bags with mine. The confusi...

How to Not Waste time on Cruises

Cruises can be great fun but the long and boring part of it is packing and wasting time roaming around and searching for places but packing smart and other ways can really help you save time before and on the cruise.  A few days before the cruise read the instruction manual carefully, if map available mark all the places you wish to visit. While  packing your bags check that you are not carrying flammables, irons and heating equipment so that while checking-in it is not removed. Print baggage tags which would be mentioned on the booklet and staple them onto your bags that you would be checking-in.  Once you have boarded the ship check where all those places are and mainly the eating places and their timings. Do call for the complementary breakfast (if available) into your room so that you can begin your day in the comfort of your room / balcony munching on fruits and cereals with tea/coffee.  Most activities are open 24/7 so make sure if you miss those activiti...
