Lauderdale to Barcelona.  The Navigator of the Seas is quite the fancy ship but now we&#39;re going to be in really elite accommodations - on deck nine, near the concierge lounge to which we&#39;ll have access - complimentary cocktails in the evening ( a big plus for us two boozers ) hor d&#39;ourves, continental breakfast in the morning before we head to the dining room - It&#39;s 299 square feet,  a 65 square foot balcony AND a bathtub.  I am taking all my luscious bubble stuff and bath oils - I love bathtubs&#33;  I guess I cannot ever complain about not getting upgraded - of course, the Royal Suite on the Monarch that time, thanks to Miss Trudy, for those two days was unbelievable.<br /> <br />What is even more amazing is that this two week cruise, with an overnight in Bermuda, six glorious days at sea, and stops in Lisbon, Portugal and Cadiz and Malaga, Spain prior to arriving in Barcelona is only costing us &#036;1009.72 each - including taxes, insurance, and fuel surcharge - which comes to a perdiem rate of about &#036;73 each per day.  That&#39;s unbelievable for hotel, meals, entertainment, activities, good company, etc - and we still get &#036;100 each cruise credit&#33;<br /> <br />How am I ever going to wait three weeks???<br /><br />I am going to try to get to physical therapy as often as I can this next three weeks and I&#39;ll take advantage of the hot tubs and leisure time on board to heal all these aches and pains.  Of course, I realize there&#39;s not much I can do about &quot;severe arthritis&quot; but I can sure meditate and improve my state of mind AND book my next cruise.<br /><br />Hope you find lots of eggs and CHOCOLATE today.<br /><br />xxxooo&#33;<br />
