MSC OPERA–Finally, embarkation.

Very mundane start to the day, sitting in a Laundromat washing our clothes!

Arrived to check into the cruise about 1pm.

Great to finally see the ship in the distance after seeing so many photos of it.

The ship is the MSC Opera – MSC= Mediterranean Shipping Company.

There was a welcome lunch when we got on board, which was slightly chaotic – but I'm sure we’ll get the hang of it.

 

Our room is lovely, it is way up the top on deck 12, the La Boehme deck.

(Sounds classy but, wasn’t that Opera about some crazy artists living in an attic in Paris and a girl that died of consumption?)

We are on the starboard side of the ship and its a nice big room with our own balcony and lounge area.

 

 

Its raining as we are leaving Venice, but we have been lucky with the weather up to now.

Until next time, Kim
