Friday 29 June - to the port!

Spent the day in transit from Rome to the port of Civitavecchia, to board the Crown Princess cruise ship.  It turned out to be a long day due to traffic jams as today was a bank holiday and everyone was headed for the beach!  A 75 minute bus trip turned into an almost 4 hr 'adventure'....

We have a lovely cabin!  Sail away was at sunset – drinks and a band – it was fun!

Saturday was a ‘sea day’ – plenty of activities on offer and time to spend exploring the ship!  It was a formal night - time to get dressed up.  Champagne Fountain of 648 glasses!  A show in the evening and drinks at the bar!

Ship internet is very expensive so no pictures until we reach Venice – text only for now!
