Jellies!
Yes-those are jelly sunny side ups! July 21: The Great Sea Adventure Begins
With heavy hearts, we packed up (again!) and with only a short stop at the Mercat (more ham!) and maybe just a lttle ice cream, we proceeded to the ship and the start of our first-ever cruise. Boarding was smooth until we reached the line of onboard "packages." Suddenly, things like "soda" and "wine" are packages#?!?
Note to self: money-making scheme tip #12 on this trip. Captured audiences have limited choices, so are thus willing to pay exorbitant premiums for just about anything.
Anywho, the trick is that you must elect to purchase a "package" to "save" money. Got it.
At the same time, we signed up for our various excursions in the stops where we wanted to have a guided tour. These apparently fill up quickly, so "You Must Act Now!" All went well, with the exception of our budget;-) We spent the rest of the day exploring the decks of our new home and enjoying the departure from Barcelona around sunset.
