This morning we arose to a lovely day. Seas were moderate; temperatures were comfortable. After breakfast at Sabatinis we got ready for the Meet & Greet. We had been corresponding for 19 months with a large group of people on the Cruise Critic forum and today was the day we would finally meet old friends and new ones. With 422 people on the “Roll Call,” we had to change venues to accommodate so many. The turnout was excellent (approximately 290 people) and the Captain made an appearance to speak briefly and field questions. It was very nice seeing old friends and meeting new ones that we had previously only met online.
We spent the afternoon just chilling out. Al sat on the balcony and watched the Italian coastline while I took a nap. This evening we traversed the Straits of Messina. We ate in our favorite dining venue Sabatinis where we could see both the shoreline of Sicily and Italy through windows on opposite sides of the ship. At times it seemed we were close enough to touch the shore!
Tomorrow morning early we will dock in Naples for our tour to Herculaneum and the Amalfi Coast. Each day for the next several we’ll be ashore so posting may be difficult.
