"Gold Standard"

"Gold Standard"

The main lobby of NCL Cruise Lines' "Spirit" is called "The Centrum". It is lofty to say the least. Three glass elevators rise above grand staircases [left and right], carrying passengers to the 12th floor. I waited about 15 minutes to catch all 3 cabs in the photo... where I wanted them... and without distractingly clad occupants.

PROP # 1- larger image.

In the "Easy Spirit" photo essay.
