Suite Life on Rhapsody, Day 6

We’re back at sea after two days in New Caledonia and back into sea-faring routine, which, to my surprise, is just as enjoyable to the kids as a day on the most beautiful beach in the world.

Suite Life on Rhapsody, Day 3

We’re starting to get the hang of cruising and have even formed ourselves a routine, or at least starting to see the need for one. For as far as you can see in every direction there is water, which varies in colour from dark grey to dark blue.

Celebrity Eclipse cruise launch

Celebrity Eclipse

Colours are never garish but there’s lots of ‘wow factor’, especially in areas such as the Tuscan Grille, The Lawn Club and AquaSpa by Elemis.
