So, this is what the Costa Cruises website says about our ship: "Inspired by music, the lively, colourful interiors are customised with musical notes that characterise the atmosphere onboard. The secret of the ship’s beauty is the variety of styles. Aboard the Costa Pacifica everything is amazing, enthralling and amusing. The excitement is never-ending, with a Grand Prix Simulator, a spectacular outer deck with glass roof and night cinema, and a theatre boasting exclusive technology able to assure exceptional sound quality.Then there’s the Samsara Spa to offer you moments of complete relaxation, with its Oriental rituals and magical atmosphere."
I have to agree with a lot of that. It was just commissioned in June 2009. It was incredible. It could take up to 3, 000 passengers, plus it's 1,100 staff/crew members. 
The miniature of our ship. It's the best way to kind of get an idea of it's size, shape, and whatever else.
There's my attempt at getting a picture of the ship. It was absolutely beautiful and there is no other way to describe it. It was an incredible sight. It baffles my mind that something like this can actually float and not sink, but someone was smart enough to figure out how to make that possible. And I am glad they did because I rather enjoyed myself.
Just in case you can't remember what ship I was on.
One of the pools. (There were four of them.)
The light inside the theater.
We were there just about every night - I think there were only two nights that we didn't go to the show. Just like in "real" life, some of the shows were more enjoyable than others. The guy juggling running chainsaws was more nerve wracking the others, but I can now say I've seen it.
The front lobby.
The glass elevators. I am not much of an elevator fan to begin with, but with these ones I would stand right by the doors and watch the doors. As I've gotten older, the heights have become less and less enjoyable - although I do still really enjoy climbing things.
The Grand Bar Rhapsody. It was very difficult to get a good picture of this light.
Mom seemed to like the shiny statues in the Samara Spa/Gym area. I thought they were kind of bizarre, but that's just me.
View down from our level - we were on the 8th floor. I kind of just held the camera over the side to get the picture - part of the reason why it might not be the best picture in the world.
This was kind of in a random wandering area, but we found it.
The Atrium Welcome area. There were lots and lots of lights. The lights on the edge of the stairs were a little bit disconcerting and could very easily mess you up while you walk up and down.
More views of the Starlight Theatre. I do love what they would do with the lights and all of the musical clefts.
They were just about everywhere.
Harp/fountain. The running water made up the strings.
We really didn't spend much time in here - well any, but it was very pretty when I took time to look at it.
The Sport Route 66 bar. I only wandered through here. The smoke was just too much to handle. But every time I went in there was either a soccer game playing or an announcement about a game that would be broadcast.
Mike was one of our two English hosts. He had kind of a warped sense of humor, maybe British, but I thought it was fun to talk to him.
These would sway with the wind, or the rocking of our ship. It was right at the entrance of our restaurant. They would have these cool kind of random sculptures around the ship.

So my big question... did you get sea sick on the ship? I am so worried about paying for a cruise one day, and spending all of my time leaning over the side of the boat, or a toilet bowl. I am very susceptible to sea sickness. Let me know if you think I would be safe. The trip looks fabulous! Glad you had fun.
I don't get motion sickness - although I did feel myself swaying a little bit off the boat. Jen, Beth and Donald all did the patches and were fine. Jen is very susceptible to motion sickness - dramamine is her travel companion - and she said they worked great.
