Moro 30, Bologna, Italy, 1 ABSTRACT According to ESPON ATTREG project, attractiveness is intended as the interaction of a comple set of characteristics based on the presence/absence of certain forms of Territorial Capital with the attraction of various audiences. Effective territorial monitoring system of territorial capital assets and better coordination among different development and sectoral policies are basic conditions for achieving territorial cohesion and territorial development goals on transnational, national, regional and local level. The South- East-Europe project ATTRACT-SEE will support policy makers to achieve better coordination of territorial attractiveness policies based upon place-specific assets as well as their implementation and evaluation. The aim of the project is to establish a framework concept of territorial attractiveness at SEE scale as well as to develop tools useful for policy makers to enhance the quality of decisions concerning territorial cohesion and growth. Firstly, a common territorial monitoring framework will be established, based upon a shared concept of territorial attractiveness as well as upon its assets. The objective is to create a model of a monitoring system suited to the needs of policy and decision makers, in view to provide outputs useful for supporting policy development and implementation. Through the establishment of a shared system of indicators, the model will then be applied to monitor territorial quality and attractiveness. Secondly, a policy coordination process will be designed, promoting, supporting and actively moderating participation and involvement of policy and decision makers from different sectors and administrative levels. Concrete outputs such as a common territorial monitoring framework, transnational as well as transnational/national/regional territorial quality and attractiveness reports, policy coordination process handbook, and stakeholder involvement workshops will create and/or strengthen permanent stakeholder networks in spatial and regional planning. The paper gives an overview of the design of this research project and the implementation of a territorial monitoring system for South-East Europe. It focuses on the question on how to describe territorial attractiveness. It presents considerations and first results on the description of a concept of territorial attractiveness which will be the basis for the definition of common monitoring indicators. 2 BACKGROUND 2.1 Regional characterisitcs South-East Europe is one of the most heterogenous and comple regions in Europe. Transformation processes and new boundaries have changed political, economic, social and cultural patterns and relations. The region has been undergoing a fundamental change in economic and production patterns since the 1990s. While some regions, especially the capital cities, are adapting well to the new challenges, others are trying to re-orientate themselves. Significant for the programme area are regional disparities in terms of economic power, innovation, competitiveness and accessibility between urban areas and rural areas. In the European transportation network, South East Europe is acting as a bridge between North, South, East and West Europe. The eisting networks however cannot keep pace with the rise in demand and the increasingly Proceedings REAL CORP 2013 Tagungsband May 2013, Rome, Italy.

2 Attract-SEE Assessing Territorial Attractiveness in South East Europe. Establishing a Common Territorial Monitoring Framework demanding standards specifications. A large number of instruments and concepts like the Trans-European Networks (TENs) and the Pan-European Transport Corridors cross the area, but need to be further developed. There are rivers suitable for freight transportation, maritime borders and the Danube, an important international inland waterway and integrating factor in many fields, such as transport, trade and environment. South East Europe is characterised by broad biodiversity and natural resources of high environmental value. The potential for the use of environmentally friendly technologies and the assets for future economic and social development are the strong points of the area, but inherited environmental damage has to be addressed as well (URL 1). Current challenges and driving forces for the spatial development are growing impact of globalization and structural changes after the recent economic crisis, demographic and social challenges and the (upcoming) EU-integration (EU 2011). Figure 1: South-East-Europe according tot he SEE Transnational Cooperation Programme (Source: URL 1). 2.2 Territorial Cohesion of the European Union Based on the Territorial Agenda 2020 of the EU one major objective of the European cohesion policy has been to strengthen economic and social cohesion. The main issues of cohesion are to (URL 2): Capitalise on the strengths of each territory so they can best contribute to the sustainable and balanced development of the EU as a whole; Manage concentration Cities have both positive and negative impacts intensifying innovation and productivity at the same time as pollution and social eclusion; Better connect territories People should be able to live wherever they want, with access to public services, efficient transport, reliable energy networks and broadband internet throughout the territory; Develop cooperation The effects of climate change and traffic congestion do not stop at traditional administrative borders, so new forms of cooperation are needed between countries and regions. The EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region and the EU Strategy for the Danube Region are eamples of new, macro-regional approach; Foster Urban-Rural linkages. 2.3 Current situation of monitoring in South-East-Europe In practice, the implementation of the objectives of territorial cohesion is partly slowed down because of a lack of coordination between decision makers from different sectors and administrative levels. For eample, there is only little awareness of how sectoral decisions can influence the region as a whole. Even though a number of good practices eist on local or regional level, harmonised methodologies and tools to analyse and monitor the spatial development and spatial trends are missing on national and transnational level. Nevertheless, monitoring can provide useful results for the establishement of evidence-based and strategic developments. A monitoring system is a tool for a comprehensive observation of the implementation of territorial and sectoral policies (ROYAL TOWN PLANNING INSTITUTE 2008; UNITED NATIONS 2007) and the need for a common monitoring system, transpartent planning and decision making as well as stronger cooperation between regions is growing. These requirements were in the centre of discussion at several transnational workshops and conferences such as at the conference on Potentials of territorial 1106 REAL CORP 2013: PLANNING TIMES

A second impulse was given one year after in Ljubljana during an event organized between the South-East- Europe Programme and the project Plan4all (URL 3) that contributed to the harmonization of spatial planning data according to INSPIRE the European Directive for the establishment of a spatial data infrastructure in Europe (URL 4). In this contet the question rises how a monitoring system can be established in South-East-Europe. 3 ATTRACT-SEE PROJECT ACTIVITIES AND STATUS OF THEIR REALIZATION 3.1 Project aims and structure The project Attract-SEE Assessing Territorial Attractiveness in South East Europe deals with the above question. The aim of the project is to develop a transnational monitoring system that supports the establishement of policy coordination framework in concerned regions and to develop tools for policy and decision makers enhancing the quality of their development decisions. It is funded under the European South-East-Europe Programme between October 2012 and September The consortium has ten project partners. These are Geodetic Institute of Slovenia (lead partner), CEIT Alanova (Austria), Office for National Economic Planning (ONEP) (Hungary), Emilia-Romagna Region (RER) (Italy), Ministry of Infrastructure and Spatial Planning (MzIP) (Slovenia), The Regional Environmental Center for Central and Eastern Europe (REC) (Slovenia), Republic Agency for Spatial Planning (RAPP) (Serbia), Network of Associations of Local Authorities in South-East Europe (NALAS) (Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia), Institute of spatial planning of the Koprivnica-Križevci County (ZAVOD) (Croatia) and Federal Ministry of Physical Planning (FMPU) (Bosnia and Herzegovina). Further one associated, strategic partners from the EU, and several observers are involved in the project. Project Attract-SEE is designed out of two parallel in several worksteps interlinked activities. First tier of activities is set out to develop a common territorial monitoring framework (TMF) applicable in partner countries and regions. Second tier of actions is developing and facilitating a policy coordination process promoting interaction among territorial monitoring and policy making. Stakeholders involved into a policy coordination process mainly through project`s workshops will participate in designing TMF providing their needs for information, their epectations as the manner in which territorial information could be presented in the most suitable way. The project consists of si work packages (WP), covering the transnational project and financial management (WP1), communication activities (WP2), common territorial monitoring framework (WP3), attractiveness of SEE territories (WP4), development of common territorial monitoring reports (WP5), and policy coordination (WP6). WPs are divided into several activities which are being implemented in parallel. The project started 1st October According to the timeline of the project (first period of five is finished), most of the activities have been started and some of them have already been finished. Activities in WP2 started with the common project visual identity. The project website (http://www.attract-see.eu/) and some promotion material were prepared, too. The Project Communication Strategy is in preparation. Creation of the common territorial monitoring framework (WP3) has started with an overview of the EU territorial monitoring best practices. ESPON (URL 5) Programme and EUROSTAT (URL 6) solutions (e.g. NUTS classification), INSPIRE Directive (eg. data harmonization and interoperability models) will be applied. The Inquiery on Territorial Monitoring Systems was delivered to all the project partners and results were analysed to get the common denominator of needs, epectations, and feasibility of the project implementation. Common set of attractiveness indicators for SEE region is being prepared. The final version of the Report on Territorial Attractiveness (WP4) was prepared and is presented in the tet below. Development of the common territorial monitoring (WP5) started with collecting information on spatial datasets. Data overviews for each country/region involved were prepared. Their analysis got answers concerning available spatial datasets in SEE region. Dataset sources, dataset regulations, accessibility of datasets, and dataset maintenance periods were eplored. Policy Coordination Process Handbook (WP6) is in preparation and will serve as a common methodological support for all the project partners. Based on the analyses of eisting monitoring systems in partner countries as other good practices TMF will be developed in the project, supporting observation of eisting territorial development and territorial trends.

4 Attract-SEE Assessing Territorial Attractiveness in South East Europe. Establishing a Common Territorial Monitoring Framework TMF will define overall process of territorial monitoring including data gathering and analysis, indicator preparation and calculations and territorial report preparation. A transnational attractiveness synthesis report will be developed as the project output. Territorial reports provide information and knowledge on territorial structures, potentials and trends. The report will be based on the quantitative results from the analyses of established harmonised indicator system on the territorial level of the partner countries and regions. Where applicable and available, data for other SEE countries will be used and presented. Project aims to inform policy and decision makers and draw their attention about wider territorial picture and encourage them to take it into account when developing and implementing various sectoral policies. The report will be presented to stakeholders at the transnational level at the transnational stakeholder involvement workshop, which will be organised alongside the final project conference. In different pilot areas more detailed separate territorial reports will be prepared on the basis of available indicators and on the basis of eisting national/regional analysis in the field of territorial attractiveness and quality. In order to ensure comparability of reports on transnational level, common methodology for territorial attractiveness report will be used. This methodology will define draft content and form of the report. The policy coordination process is very important result of the project and is described in net chapter. 3.2 Project stakeholder involvement The policy coordination process is epected to result in a more long term coordination network. To support the activities a Policy coordination handbook will be prepared at early project implementation stage and aims to guide territorial development eperts in establishing stakeholder networks, and in coordinating the process in their pilot areas with engageing stakeholders. This document will define the strategy for involving stakeholders: the aproach, the principles and guidelines for implementation. It will also present the benefits, the drivers and the barriers for effective involvement. Equipped with appropriate knowledge and skills, and following the methodology defined in the policy coordination process handbook, the relevant project partners will develop the stakeholder involvement plans in each project region/country. In fact these documents will be the action plans for implementation of stakeholder involvement in practice. Stakeholder involvement will be implemented at national workshops. Each partner should organize four national workshops where objectives and results will be discussed and verified. Such a concept of stakeholder involvement will enable regular verification of intermediate results and will strenghten the stakeholder networks. 4 DEFINING TERRITORIAL ATTRACTIVENESS 4.1 Concept and operational implications Attractiveness : what are we talking about? Although more and more frequent in development plans, programmes and other policy documents, not always the appeal of the word goes together with a clear meaning. Attract-SEE assumed as a starting point the previous ESPON ATTREG Project (URL 7), that after considering several European case studies, provided a framework definition of attractiveness as the interaction of a comple set of characteristics based on the presence/absence of certain forms of Territorial Capital with the attraction of various audiences varying in their level of transience in place from long-term residents as working population to short-term visitors and some hybrids mobilities between the two. In this sense, attractivess becomes a place-specific asset that guarantees some kind of socio economic stability, referred to the different dimensions of Territorial Capital (Environmental; Economic and Human; Anthropic; Socio-Cultural and Institutional Capitals). According to Attract-SEE partners, this perspective attributes to the concept of attractiveness a clear territorial dimension. In concrete terms, territorial attractiveness grounds on a mobility concept and implies the capacity of a place to attract and retain subjects from other places, due to its advantageous features. We can consider that building an attractive region needs to focus two complementary dimensions: the home internal side, made of quality settlements and ecosystems, able to regenerate social cohesion, reproduce knowledge, create decent jobs and make good value of entrepreneurship: it is key for retaining citizens, skilled workforce, enterprises, etc. already living in the place ; 1108 REAL CORP 2013: PLANNING TIMES
5 Julia Neuschmid, Christian Eizinger, Blaž Barborič, Graziella Guaragno, Tomaž Miklavčič, Stefano Marani, Ljiljana Živković, Francesca Altomare, Đorđe Milić, Gianandrea Esposito, Alessandro Selva the eternal side, made of international acknowledgement of these territorial qualities, linked to the capacity to attract and hold talents and investments, to attract visitors/tourists for different purposes (culture, nature, business, etc.) and ensure their loyalty as availability to return to the place. This approach allows to operationalize the concept within EU cohesion policy and to make it assessable at SEE scale, considering both the trans-national perspective and the internal one, at country/region scale. 4.2 Methodology The methodological approach to reach this objective included three steps, developed complementarily and through three operative tools adopted and provided to project partners (PPs) and to stakeholders. Step 1 focused on the assessment of the concept of Territorial Attractiveness adopted by PPs country/region, making specific reference to official Spatial Policy Documents (strategic and/or operational Plans and Programmes). For the purpose it has been developed a Tool of Inquiry addressing on one hand the territorial monitoring systems in use in partners countries/regions and the identification of specific best practices and on the other focusing on the concept of attractiveness adopted, the supporting assets and the specific indicators utilised. The questionnaire was provided by . Step 2 was aimed at assessing the answers provided by partners on the concept of Territorial Attractiveness according to their relevant strategic and/or operational Plans and/or Programmes as well as at identifying the assets considered as strategic. The results were subsequently re-elaborated and returned to project partners and to project international stakeholders during the Ljubljana conference and partner meeting (December 13-14, 2012). During these events partners were provided with a first outlook of the concepts of Territorial Attractiveness in use in each contet while a first characterization of the concept was attempted, specifying in particular the features that eplain the actual meaning of Territorial Attractiveness ( attracting whom, where, how? ). Secondarily, a preliminary classification of the Territorial Capital assets to be considered was presented. The potential relationships between local visions/policies adopted by partners and the main EU strategic documents for development were also eplored (i.e. EU 2020 and the Territorial Agenda 2020). Step 3: international stakeholders and partners were asked to epress their opinion on the relevance of the Territorial Capital assets identified for Territorial Attractiveness assessment, to obtain a revised picture of the concept and a framework of the assets to be considered, adjusted to the perspectives of each partners. This was done using two types of questionnaire aimed at evaluating the relevance of any asset, including the possibility to suggest the introduction of new assets considered relevant. In particular, international stakeholders questionnaire (directly distributed during Ljubljana Conference) were asked to provide a qualitative assessment of the assets identified (in terms of relevance/non relevance) while partners questionnaire (sent by ) provided a quantitative assessment (assets ranked from 1 to 5, according to a growing relevance) as well as a double level of assessment, to be held at national and transnational level. After a wide debate, the assets indicated by partners were grouped into macro-themes and put in relation with specific target groups ( audiences ), in view to give evidence to their different level of interest in each assets and in some cases to the real trade-offs (see tab. 4.1 in the net paragraph). Attract-SEE partners are presently facing the job to identify proper indicators for attractiveness assets, to be considered at transnational and national scale, in view to produce, in the forthcoming months, specific reports that will pave the way for the establishment of a Common Territorial Monitoring Framework. 4.3 Results of the work process First of all, Attract-SEE partners agreed on some specific features of the concept: (1) Quality of places gains high importance: cohesion/inclusiveness, culture, public services, effective governance are key for attracting and retaining a specific audience. E.g. in the case of cities seen as engines of regional development, attractiveness depends not only on the sum of its structures and infrastructures but also on its capacity of attracting and retaining people. (2) Territorial scales and diversity of places are the key to assess attractiveness: it is on diversity that depends the generation of flows from one place to another and the effectiveness of different strategies such as specialization or balance of mied factors depends on the contet and dimension of the area considered.

6 Attract-SEE Assessing Territorial Attractiveness in South East Europe. Establishing a Common Territorial Monitoring Framework (3) Drivers for attractiveness are different: Territorial Capital assets should thus be considered in relation to who is attracted by what. E.g.: environmental capital, including good climate and a high quality landscape, attracting silver migrants ; economic/knowledge capital concentrated in core European cities attracts both investments and talents; social inclusion capacity as well as good governance arrangements reinforce flows of migrants, both new citizens and enterprises, facilitating the birth of new initiatives by contamination of ideas and resources,. (4) Plurality of needs/epectations grounds the demand for diversified policies targeted to different actors that, while commonly looking for quality of places, do not always share the same concept of what quality actually is, e.g.: natural and/or cultural tourism development policies may strongly conflict with heavy infrastructure policies (e.g. industrial/logistic poles), if pursued on the same territory. This calls for good governance of spatial development processes, also ensuring the management of objectives trade-offs. (5) (Un)stability of factors of attractiveness: positioning of the territories should rely on stable features that allow a long term strategy but, while some drivers for attractiveness may prove to be volatile (e.g: big events) if not included in a wider vision, also the same understanding of territorial attractiveness may change. E.g.: Targets TC asset many territories become very fragile after 2008 crisis, with social capital supporting innovation capacity of a local system (e.g. an industrial district) breaking down; knowledge capital may be attracted elsewhere as well as financial capital, according to more favourable conditions; climate change can determine strong changes in territorial quality and make e.g. a territory less attractive for tourists/visitors; financial crisis can make the management of cultural/natural resources less reliable discouraging both fruition and the implementation of proactive environmental prevention policies.

To conclude, Territorial Attractiveness is not an absolute concept: attractiveness of a territory can change according to the targets and the assets of the Territorial Capital considered and positioning a territory in its eternal contet implies a matching between specific assets and targets to attract. These two orientations have to be related to the different goals/visions of the overall territorial development strategy. 5 MONITORING FOR SPATIAL DECISIONS 5.1 Building territorial monitoring tool Public policies and other sectoral/strategic decision-makers need monitoring tools to continually and easily follow-up and understand effects and trends within local, regional, national and/or transnational levels produced by their actions and plans, which are aimed at sustainable and balanced territorial development. From spatio-temporal perspective, these monitoring tools should provide platform for collection and storing various types of data and information on different territorial development conditions, statuses and events through time periods; from public policy process perspective, monitoring tools should support territorial development knowledge creation, using analysis, comparison, interpretation and presentation methods, needed for informed and timely decision-making. Due to described territorial development character and needs of policy creation and management process, territorial monitoring tools are usually supported by GIS technology advantages, which are in some cases further enhanced by particular epert or decision-making systems (based on multicriteria analysis or system dynamics approach). Therefore, following the EU s Territorial Agenda 2020 aimed at territorial development cohesion by appropriate policies development and implementation throughout member and candidate/neighbouring states/regions, Project would propose territorial monitoring tool that should support territorial attractiveness policies and decision-making processes coordination within the South East Europe region. 5.2 Design and implementation of the monitoring framework In building monitoring tool for attractiveness policy development/implementation and coordination within the project area, both social and technical dimensions of common information platform would be considered and designed to involve each project partner country s specifics, on one side, and to provide basis both for local as well as SEE-wide attractiveness development decision-making process, on the other. Starting from the current territorial development practices of project partners as well as SEE Programme objectives and EU initiatives falling within the technical and social domains of the project scope, common territorial monitoring framework (CTMF) would be built. Its outlines would be positioned among the relevant European initiatives and programmes results and recommendations, like ESPON, INSPIRE/Plan4all and other relevant approaches (OECD, UN). On the technical side of common territorial monitoring tool for attractiveness assessment, project partners would develop as outputs: (1) Common methodology for territorial attractiveness indicators identification based on OECD and UN approache s principles pressure, state, response for those events or processes identified as relevant for attractiveness development within each project partner s territory and SEE in general. Also, policy interrelation matri would be developed for policy effects evaluation and strategic decision-making against identified attractiveness trageting values and groups; and (2) Common data and metadata model for territorial attractiveness indicators definition based on INSPIRE/Plan4all recommendations and data specifications, and adjusted to project partners eisting Proceedings REAL CORP 2013 Tagungsband May 2013, Rome, Italy.

Norwegian Spirit - Bahamas: Norwegian Spirit Cruise Review by baristerbrawler
Overall Member Rating
Norwegian Spirit - Bahamas
Destination: Bahamas
Embarkation: New York (Manhattan)
I am not an experienced cruise person but I was with several of them. My only cruise before the Norwegian Spirit was 10+ years ago on Carnival during spring break. I am in my early thirties and single. I am a professional and all I was looking for was a relaxing vacation away from the stress of daily life. I give that useless information so the reader will understand my state of mind and cruising experience. Things that might annoy me, might not annoy you. Things I might be looking for on a cruise, you might not expect or want.
Overall Cruise
Embarkation -- It took an hour and half to get on board. Treated like cattle through the dingy New York Cruise Terminal. Told to wait in line after line after line. Security, check in, get your key, get a photo, etc. Not the way to start your cruise. I would advise not to be in a rush to board the ship arrive around 2 or 3 instead of 12 or 1 and you could More probably board with no problem after the early rush which is no fun anyway.
The crew was excellent. If you wanted something or had a problem they went out of their way to help. My only problem was the need to come into my cabin a second time at night to turn down my bed. I really dont need that. I would rather not be bothered.
The ship itself was extremely clean and well organized. My room was midship on the 5th deck. The cabin was small but adequate. The bathroom was decent size and had a very nice shower. I am 63, 185 pounds and I didnt feel crushed. All the rooms seemed to be about the same size as my inside cabin. I paid as little as possible for the room on the recommendation of my seasoned cruise buddies because they said outside cabins are just as small and you are never in the room anyway. For the most part they were right. When I was in my cabin, I could watch my 13 inch TV. It was little small for the room. The programming had a group of movies on channels 4 and 5. One channel had older movies while the other had new movies, just out on DVD or a little newer. These movies would be repeated throughout the cruise. They seemed to run the best movies at 6 PM and then again at 6 AM neither convenient for me most days. I watched Walk the Line and Family Stone in bits and parts over several days. I know during a cruise your not supposed to watch TV but how much eating and sun can handle. The rest of the channels had CNN, ESPN, TNT (does TNT show anything besides Law and Order and Charmed, ridiculous) and about 4 stations devoted Norwegian and the story about how they recycled waste.
Most of the restaurants are on 6th floor and 12th. With the Specialty restaurants on 7th Floor. To reach Windows restaurant I had to go to the 7th floor and go to the back staircase and walk down.
On the 13th deck was a basketball court, usually occupied by kids, and a nice driving range. There was a track around part of the ship but it was more for walking than running, not much room to get around people but nice. On the 12 deck was the library, mahjong room, and card room. These rooms were always quiet and not too crowded.
Galaxy of the stars was uncrowded during the day time and offered a pleasant view of the ship. 7th deck offered stores and ability to walk all the way around the ship. Almost a nicer less crowded place to walk than the 13th deck. The 12th deck had the gym which had many tread mills which were crowded every morning but no real weight machines or free weights. The two wave pools were filled when I went there to try them. People seemed to float in them rather than swim. The swimming pool area was extremely crowded with few seats by the pool. Often an area of total chaos. Even the seats on 13th deck facing the sun could be crowded. The Pool was small and often so crowded that floating and hitting elbows was about all you could do in it. The Jacuzzis most times had 8 or 9 people in them .I have a spa at home so it was not worth it to bump legs with 8 other people. I countered this by going into the pool and spa immediately after breakfast. At 8 in the morning the pool and Jacques were nearly empty. I would generally stay in the pool area until 11 when it started to get overwhelmingly crowded as the drunk parents and their children were unleashed from sleep.
Food -- We all know that is what we come on board to do. Luckily I am in good shape, well at least before this cruise. I am no culinary expert but here is what I thought.
After finally getting on board, the only place to eat was Raffles, the infamous buffet. Now I am not a culinary expert, I am more of a meat and potatoes kind of guy. So I was not expecting the world from the buffet. But the buffet was packed with people, line after line again, and the choices were extremely limited. Hamburgers, hot dogs, French fries, some kind of beef stew, cold cuts. Some of below average quality others decent. But that was only if you were lucky enough to get near them. With no place to sit except outside in the New York 40 degree weather. After the first day the buffet was much less crowded. But the menu did not change nearly enough. Same old Same old for Lunch and dinner. There was a salad bar which is nice but no croutons or bacon bits or most other accouterments. All there was to drink for lunch and diner was coffee, tea, and the worst iced tea I have ever tasted. Not Liptons, this had no sugar. If you have to drink it add lots of sugar and lemons. I notice after the first day a blue button which gave plain water. I was a little nervous about drinking it at first but it was very good and I drank that most times. I drink 90 percent water at home anyway. The water button was not labeled as water. I think they make the worst ice tea so you will buy alcohol or their soda from the cart. Raffles waste an entire area on stir fry. I like stir fry but an entire area for it with more ingredients that they had for other food is ridiculous use of space. Also you waited for ever to get the stir fry. The pasta at raffles was extremely good. There was often a line so I skipped it most days but when I got the pasta it was quite good. There is an ice cream station there as well and I was brought back ice cream from it but I have no idea where it was. Raffles breakfast was not bad. They had the same choice every day but that was not bad. They had everything imaginable for breakfast. Yogurt, French toast, cereal, bagels, bacon, etc. You could have an omelet made but there was often a line. My only complaint was that the eggs were always a little runny if you got them from the trays instead of waiting for an omelet and the sausage was kind of bland, but that is my personal taste. During breakfast you can get Cranberry Juice and Orange Juice along with water and tea and coffee. I recommend that you bring a container to store some orange juice or cranberry juice for latter in the day. They are there but some time not label. That is what the seasoned cruisers I was around did.
Windows, main restaurant, was available for lunch between 12-2 and 5:30-10 for dinner. Lunch was much more relaxed at Windows then Raffles, with better quality food. Windows had very few patrons for Lunch which was nice, no line and no crowds. Windows offered hot dog and hamburger everyday for lunch. For lunch they would also offer several different items every day, hot sandwiches and pastas, and a lot of seafood. Basically a full course meal with more lunch type main dish. Then menu was put out everyday at 11 in front of the restaurant. So you have to check to see what they have besides the hamburgers and hot dog. I would recommend going here for the more culinary acute rather than Raffles. Dinner at Windows was always excellent. The service was excellent though at times I felt a little rushed. The main dishes focused on seafood a little too much. I hate seafood and at times get sick when forced to it. Generally there was only one none seafood item on the menu which was a little disappointing. Steak and prime rib were offered the first two days and then disappeared from the menu the rest of the trip. Disappointing. Also the tables were a little too close together in some areas of the restaurant. I felt like I was intruding on several couples when are party was seated next to them. I felt the people at the next table were part of my conversation so I watched what I said very careful. Probably a good thing.
Freestyle cruising could also be call Freestyle waiting. My group ate early every night. One the first several nights we were practically the only people in the restaurant. If one at later around 6:30 or 8 their were often lines. People were not happy. If you were with a big party of say more than 6 than you needed a reservation to get into any restaurant. By the last night there was a line to get into Windows when it open because people were sick of waiting. Every was seated immediately but people wee arriving earlier and earlier to avoid the lines. It was weird often there was many empty tables but still there was a line to be seated when I left the restaurant between 6:45 and 7:15. The Garden is the second main restaurant. Basically the same story as Windows without the beautiful view out the windows. They shared the exact same menu. If you got a table at the back of windows the view was spectacular looking out at the empty sea.
The back of the ship, be it windows on the 6th deck or raffles on 12th deck had a strong vibration and noise from the engines. Probably all cabins in the back of the boat received the same noise and vibration. The vibrations was so strong the huge chandelier was shaking badly at the back of windows. I was glad I wasnt sitting underneath it.
The Italian restaurant is a divided portion of Raffles on the 12th deck at nighttime. The food was very good but the atmosphere was nonexistent. Being 63 and 185, high metabolism I am generally always hungry. I often asked for a second main dish. This was the only time I sometimes got a little bit of attitude from the staff. I understand they dont want to waste food or whatever but if I ask for it I want it. They would often try to talk me out of it, but if you insist they will bring, sometimes begrudgingly but they bring it. Ask for it up front when you order initially, they were rushing to get us out the last couple of nights when the lines got bad. The rest of my part would ask for 2 appetizers and they would have no problem but main dishes they were reluctant.
If you do not have kids I cannot recommend this cruise to Port Canaveral, Miami and Nassau. Out of the 2000 passengers on board the ship 500 were kids. I was told next week there would be 800. After that they were going to limit the number of kids to 500. More than 1 out of 4 passengers were under 18, most of the children on board were under 10. The children on board we running wild with very little control. The parents, many around my age or little older, just let there kids run around the ship unescorted. Or some even let their kids stay on board when they went into the ports. The one and only pool was swamped with children who could barely swim hanging onto the side of the pool for dear life. Other children were swimming with their parents using blow up swimming devices on their arms. I thought at times I was watching parents gone wild. Now I enjoy a drink or two but these parents were downing $9 drinks like water. I can only imagine their bar bills. Parents seemed to think the children were on a ship, nothing can happen to my kids let them run off and play. It was the parents time to scream and drink. If you have children you probably would enjoy the cruise as would your children. Anyone else specifically older people, they were complaining like crazy about the kids, will not enjoy being on this ship.
On the 10th deck there was a nice play area for the kids with a water slide and Jacuzzi, video game area and ping pong. I was tempted to invade their area like they invaded the adult pool area. The pool in the kids are was only a foot or 2 deep. The kids area was mostly for real young kids, say 7 and younger.
On the port days the ship was much less crowded and pool area was little more fun and usable. Ports Port Canaveral Many people took trips Disney World, Universal, (1 hour away) Sea World and Kennedy Space Center. I went to Kennedy space center. We rented a car, was picked up right outside the terminal and taken to get my car no problem. Make sure you get a good map if you rent a car, Avis did not supply one resulting in us getting lost in little bit. If you go to Orlando, already an hour away be careful the road are not well marked in Florida. Kennedy Space Center, not much there. Not really worth the 30 plus dollars charged for admission. Almost all films with a few building and old rockets. If you go, see the IMAX movies first. Imax films run only every hour or 2 and there are 3 of them. The Imax films seem like retreads of PBS specials but are cool with 3d on a big screen. The bus ride, avoid unless you want to be taken for a 2 hour ride you can not escape. We made the mistake of going on this first and could not get back to the main area for over 2 hours. All you see is the buildings in the distance a little bit closer and some movies on the bus. Then you stop climb the tower get on another bus stop go in a room and see another movie. See a big missile and then take another bus back to your starting point. Then you can get on another bus to some other part of the space center if you want. I skipped that part. After 2 hours of doing nothing on a bus I had had enough. Though I did see some crocodiles and some people saw the 20 year old bald eagle nest.
I have to also say that the Kennedy space center workers must be my follow new yorkers transplanted to Florida. KSC workers for the most part were obnoxious and not visitor friendly. Simple questions were greeted by unnecessarily nasty responses. After I heard them be nasty to people I suffered the bus tour from hell in silence and I was not happy. It scares me that the poor astronauts lives depend on the employees of NASA. If you bout the full access ticket you have the right to go to the astronaut hall of fame. But it is 6 miles away from the space center. Why I have no idea, that is what I call great planning but the nations smartest engineers. So I drove 6 miles to the hall of fame which had a lot of interactive things for kids. Smithsonian has better display of space memorabilia. Unless you have kids not worth it. Though Mars ride was fun.
If you ask me what Norwegian wants its passengers to do is 2 things 1 Drink alcohol 2 Gamble There were bars everywhere and always servers looking to get you a $9 cocktail or $4 or $5 beer. I was always asked do you want to see the wine list of minimum $30 bottles. Bottles I could pick up at my local liquor store for $7. But that is the way of resorts and cruise ships. I would love to have seen some of the cruise passengers bar bills at the end of the cruise. Sometimes I thought that NCL wanted to give you as little as possible to do so you would drink and gamble more. Gambling the casino was nicely laid out. It was casino need I say more. They take your money for a momentary thrill. I will never understand the attraction people have to gambling. To each their own.
The entertainment was good but they seemed a entertainer light. Repeated some of the performers too much, specifically Bob Turell, magician. He was okay but the 3rd time you see him give me a break. Ventriloquist twice. Funny slightly the first time but then again. Please. The best entertainment came from a group of singers who performed on the radio(popular songs) and standing room only (Broadway songs). They were outstanding, maybe the best part of the trip and I dont even like musical performances and never go to Broadway even though I live 15 minutes away. Bands like fusion, a Latin band and others only seemed to perform in the bars at night and maybe once at the pool. I would rather have seen them perform on the big stage than the magician and ventriloquist for the 2nd and 3rd time. The cruise director was fine but not overly bubbly but good. Most of the NCL staff seemed efficient and helpful but not overly friendly and talkative. I thought the Captain was more funny than 2nd city comedy troupe who performed at the Stardust, main stage. 2nd city was mildly amusing, better than the ventriloquist and magician on their 2nd and 3rd performances. I also saw the Newlywed game done by passengers in the galaxy of the stars hosted by the cruise director, it was funny but some of the questions were lame. I also saw the performance of the crew talent show, also better than the magician and ventriloquist for the 2nd and 3rd time.
For the few single guys out there who may read this review I have to right my single guy report. If you are under 18, could be fun lots of young girls with their parents. Plenty of kids hanging out. If you are in your early 20s maybe fun, lots of women with their parents and depending on the time of year spring breakers. I was told the week before my trip 50 percent or more of the cruise was booked by spring breakers. If you were single in your early 30s like me not much was there. Lots of young married couples, families, and college girls talking to me how they spent 6 straight hours in the Jacuzzi or how much they drank the night before. Not interested, past that. Some of the best looking women on the ship were the waitresses in Windows.
Disembarkation -- If you could carry your own bags early disembarkation was available. I was looking forward to get off the ship at this point so I carried my own bags which was a little bit of a hassle. Had to carry them from midship to end of a line on the 7th floor. Very crowded with people which made it hard to get through and then of course people were trying to cut the line . Spirit lines and then more lines. But once the line started moving the line moved very quickly and we breezed through. I was told it was the easiest disembarkation ever by the seasoned cruisers. Less

Simply Delicious Rice Pudding
Be the first to review
READY IN: 25mins
Recipe by BecR2400
Delicious thick, rich and creamy rice pudding without the fuss of a water bath. Enjoy! For a nice variation I sometimes like to add half a teaspoon of rose water, a couple dashes of ground cardamom, and a slice of fresh lemon that's cooked along with the rice--wonderful! Note: Evaporated milk (diluted with an equal amount of water) makes a lovely substitute for the regular milk or half-and-half cream.
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 cups cooked rice
- 3 cups milk, divided use (or half and half)
- 3⁄4 cup sugar, to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1⁄4 cup raisins
- 1 organic egg
- 3⁄4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch nutmeg, to taste
- 1 pinch cinnamon, to taste
- whipped cream, to serve (optional)
Directions See How It's Made
- In a heavy bottomed sauce pan add the rice, 2 cups milk (or half and half), sugar, butter and raisins. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until mixture comes to a boil. As soon as the mixture comes to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer gently for about 10-15 minutes, stirring often, until thickened.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the reserved 1 cup of milk and the egg in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in a few spoonfuls of the warm rice pudding to temper the egg; now gradually stir the tempered egg mixture into the hot rice pudding, stirring well to combine.
- Whisk in the vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg.
- Let cool a minimum of 30 minutes before serving with a dollop of whipped cream on top, as desired.
- Refrigerate any leftovers.

Amirah Adara & Mona Kim – Yearning
Released: September 16, 2015
Mona Kim makes a stunning VT debut here, interviewing Amirah Adara about her sex life on camera. As Amirah recalls a hot experience she begins to touch herself; Mona is aroused by the sight, and moves out from behind the camera to kiss Amirah. The girls undress each other, kissing and touching passionately, and then Mona goes down to lick Amirah's pussy with great intensity, before sliding a wet finger into her tight asshole. Amirah has a tremendous orgasm as she fingers her own pussy while Mona drills her ass, then sucks Mona's stiff nipples and kisses her way down to her hot pussy. She strums Mona's clit and fingers her deeply, licking her until she's overwhelmed with pleasure. Mona goes face down, ass up and Amirah licks her asshole and then thrusts her finger in, driving her wild. They move to a standing position for Amirah to finger her to a climax.
