We slept in as it was another late night in the casino and
did it feel good. The bed is wonderful.
We are in Palmero, the capital of Sicily.
We went to the Palace where they were having an exhibition
of the ruling General who was killed by the Mafia in 1982.
The Palace was built 13 centuries ago.
We also visited the largest church, and it was very
beautiful and very, very large.
The first thing that we did was walk up to the 2nd
largest opera house in Europe and took a tour of it.
In between these 3 laces we visited we walked some very
interesting streets and just enjoyed the old part of Palmero.
We go back on the ship at 4pm and went up the Yacht Club
pool deck and ate some declivous snacks.
Another 14,000 steps during the day.
The entertainment tonight was a tribute to America, songs
and routings that were very American and it was very good, probably the best of
the cruise.
Then we went to the dining room and had the best meal of the
cruise. The dining rooms is probably
our only disappointment in that they are not set up to take a couple like
ourselves and sit them with another English-speaking couple. So, we have had good meals with ourselves as
company and that’s not all bad either.
After dinner we went to the casino where Ed lost a tiny bit
and Barb did not play.
This ship is amazing as it holds 5,100 passengers; however,
our ship within a ship makes the experience seem like a very small ship. There are 300 people in the Yacht Club and
everything and everyone is made to feel special.
We have priority in getting off the ship and also back on we
are able to bypass long lines.
Our cabin is not as big as the suite we hade a year ago in
July in Alaska on Celebrity, but it is very large. The bathroom is the biggest we have every had
with a great big shower.
The casino staff has been wonderful now that we have gotten
to know them – so that is good.
The internet is the best of all or our cruises so that is
great.
Then show venue is smaller than any Celebrity ship and
because they perform the same show 3 times a night, the venue is just perfect
for us.
This is a 2-year-old ship and it is in great condition and absolutely
no visible signs of wear.
All-in all it is a wonderful ship and we are very happy with
it.
Don’t know if we will be able to sail with this class again
on this ship, but we are hopeful.
