A Tale of Two Ships and a Plane - An Adventure Across Barcelona, Marseilles, and Beyond

In this solo episode of Season 7 of Open Forum in the Villages, Florida, Mike Roth shares an in-depth recount of his recent vacation travels. The trip begins with a smooth experience on Air Canada from Orlando to Barcelona, offering high praise for the airline's business class service. In Barcelona, Mike revisits La Ramblas only to find it under reconstruction but enjoys local tapas and landmarks. The journey then takes listeners aboard the maiden voyage of the Princess Star, highlighting efficient check-ins and exceptional dining experiences, but also touching on the less favorable episode in Palermo, Sicily. The podcast continues with the transition to the Norwegian Jewel for the return trip to Miami, recounting a mix of pleasant port visits and logistical hiccups, such as a missing-person incident at sea. Mike closes by sharing his insights and extending gratitude to the podcast's supporters.
