NCL Spirit 2024.
I had always wanted to visit Hawaii and watch whales, as both were on my bucket list. I saw a cruise on the NCL Spirit that would let me cross several things off my bucket list as it sailed around Hawaii, to Alaska and then around Alaska. These blogs describe what I did whilst on this cruise.
I was up early today to go to Torre Pacheco to catch a train to Madrid for an overnight stay.
