Geezers @ Sea: Barcelona Edition

The geezers might have had great plans to get off the ship today and look around Barcelona but sleep overtook us. The nap was good and very much needed. 

So, we saw Barcelona by the ship and we saw the ship by Barcelona.

We found the infinity pool and neighboring hot tub. We were told the pool was COLD but the hot tub was perfect. We found the indoor/outdoor pool and neighboring hot tub too. We had plans to visit one of the hot tubs, but you already know what happened. In the spa there is an ice-tub...we had no plans to visit that.

We looked at the yachts parked nearby. Now that's the way to travel...but since we are not gazillionaires, the Viking Jupiter will have to do.

Unlike many of the ships that ply the oceans, the Jupiter is small--965 pax. In port we were "parked" near a Royal Caribbean mega-ship, the Allure of the Seas. Jupiter looked like a toy boat next to that 5000 pax-er. We might not have as much real estate but we have Scandinavian Elegance. 

Scandinavian Elegance is clean, light, spare, and calming. There's no extra noise on the ship. During the day there is live piano music; at night there are all kinds of music venues. In addition to music, there is food. Lots of food. Lots of drink. Lots of places to sit and relax and enjoy the ambience. Viking Jupiter is a nice place to be and it's a good little home for the next couple of weeks.
