Day 1

So, we boarded early - no queues straight on with 8 litres of very expensive red wine from Genova, our bags were at the cabin within 15 minutes. Cabin a great size but tiny port hole so we miss Eurodam already.

Unpacked and headed to Kids Club - not looking good - no playstation so i guessed Cooper would skip it. Kasey was happy with it.

Usual life boat drill, but everything in german, spanish, english, french, and italian plus russian - very lonnnggggg announcements!

Dinner is set tables, our dining partners are from QLD, nice people and great to be with Aussies.

Day 2Civitaceticia - or something like that, we happened to be there on the day the Giro italiana went through - nice focus, loved the coffee and gelato, i know this all sounds superficial but it's 2 weeks later and I'm sitting in my room at Vernazza listening to the sounds of the piazza below.
