Celebrating birthday in the Royal Caribean Cruise
We took a trip to Alaska in the last week of May by Royal Caribean Cruise,named 'Radiance Of The Sea' for spending the summer vacation.
I love to watch sky, water, mountain; I enjoyed all these three together for seven days in the last week of May, incidantly my birthday comes on 20th May..
So it was quite phenomenal at this age my Birthday was celebrated in the cruise with warmth and luxury (that too,for two days!); boarded on a ship floating in the dark blue water ,watching azure sky and snow -covered mountain through the view-glass- roof and window, simply amazing!We boarded from Vancouver on 18th may. In the cruise there were different events and programs other than movie music dance, from 11 AM upto midnight 2 Am.On 19th May,after dinner as I entered to sleep after 12 AM, I was charmed to see the room was decorated artistically with coloured paper-works, festoons, flowers, fruits, wine with ice, nice B-greeting-card and a gift of photo-frame!Also figure of babe infront of a huge layered cake, all made out of towel,created novelty to decoration.On the night of 20th may also some new figures like Ship, elphant, and a funny swinging- monkey clinging the string of festoon from the roof were added. I took snaps from every corner of the room.
On 20 th May when we finished dinner inthe hall, the servers along with the crew manager came with chocolate cake decorated with fruits nuts, surrounded by lighted candle sticks. On the center of the cake was written "25 " years.They and the other diners of the adjacent table wished me with the song, as I blew out the candles.
The manager said jokingly," you are 25 years old, right?
I replied in the same tone,"Let me hope to be sweet sixteen next year, if my birth-day happened to be celebrated in this cruise in the same way with you!"
....As I am diabetic,I gave the cake to share among them.
The lustre spread from the 'Radiance of the sea' made my birthday memorable;not for the grandeur only ,but because for the warmth of heart from the entire Cruise-Team, right from the participation of the captain in dance party, room-service, resturent service,variety of event-managements--everything superb!
Cruise dis-emberked at Seward on the 7th-day. We felt sad and something missing, as we became close to the same team of room-service and dine service continuously for 7 days!
Like many others we decided to chose Royal Caribean Cruise for the next year- vacation- trip:may be to Mediterranean or caribean.

Poetry ;; I lost my heart......
I lost my heart in Alaska!
For the NativeAmericans, it was 'Aly-eska'
Which means 'the great land'!
I wonder how visionery
were the ancestors by instinct
To imagine such a potential name!
Eon after eon the yellow metal remained
Hidden under the glaciers
unknown to the universe!
But alas! as the river Yokon
Carried some flakes in her bosom
Flocks of greedy bees jumped upon.
Some of them made fortune
While the most were burried in avalanche;
Remained as martyrs in quest of gold-rush
Without any trace.
To view White pass and river yukon
We, the eager tourists, were all aboard
On the narrow excursion railroad
Under which the nature laid
The frozen sepulture of thousand dead
Who once came from far and dared
To pave the way through this pristine land!
While we shared that tragic part of history,
offered by the crew guide,
Relishing with snacks and coffee in hand!

When trapped in Failure.....!
Failure can never be pillars of success;
It only consoles one who frustrates.
Alaska ,the great land-
Charmed me so much
My mind spinned around it
and swam like a fish- in -aquarium!
Since I came back my own home.
So I released my feeling
In ink, and in internet
To share with audience
some exciting moments with photoes
Along with my blog but failed.
I struggled hard to attach
The photoes, but in vain!
At last I surrendered to give in!
