They brew their own craft beers right on board the ship!

You can purchase BBQ and other Pub Food for a little extran money.

I had a flight of the four beers that were brewed on the ship!
All were very good but my favorites were the Amber and the IPA.

The Library Bar Has Self-Serve Wine Dispensers

This is a really really big ship!

At the end of this longhall way is a door. Beyond the door you still have to walk a little further to get to our stateroom. Plus, we had already walked a way down the hall. This photo is only of part of the long hallway from one end of the ship to the other.

The Bottle Of Wine We Had With Dinner

This was one of the ten bottles of wine we brought onto the ship. You are only allowed to bring one bottle per person in your carry on luggage. There were 3 of us so we each brought on one bottle in our carry on luggage. But we also each snuck on one bottle in our checked baggage for a total of 6 bottles of wine. After we went through security in Barcelona, Spain, they had shops were you were allowed to purchase additional wine, beer, and other spirits and bring them onto the ship. So we purchased 4 more bottles of wine at excellent prices. That made a total of 10 bottles of wine that we brought on board. Since the cruise is for 14 days, that will only be enough for 10 of those days if we drink one bottle per day between the 3 of us. I've had many of the wines from the cruise ship wine list and most are "Just OK" to "Good". Normally I only buy and drink wines that I have rated as "Very Good" or "Excellent" There are none of those on the ship's wine list. Below you can see the ship's wine list. So far every wine that we purchased and brought on board has been either "Very Good" or "Excellent".
