Another beautiful day in Barcelona. After another great
breakfast we took a little walk to get some stamps for postcards and a couple
of other things. Our car and
driver picked us up around 1:30 and we were off to the port. There were only three cruise ships in
today, the Queen Elizabeth, the Costa Deliziosa and us. I must say the Queen is a very
beautiful ship. She left first,
followed by the Costa ship and finally the Ruby.

The Costa ship had something we’d never seen on a ship
before. Held in place on her foredeck near the bow were four massive propeller
blades. We wondered if they were
from the Concordia and were being moved someplace. Who knows.

Our cabin feels like home; we’ve been in the same one so many times. Captain Yeomans is in charge and
Guenther is the Food and Beverage Director. Aside from that the lead staff are new to us. We miss Marius in Sabatinis and , of,
course, Godwin and Generoso aren’t here.
Embarkation was quick and painless and our luggage came at
once. We sailed away at 7 PM and
had a lovely sunset. After we left
Barcelona we met two couples we’ll be touring with tomorrow from Monte
Carlo. They seem like delightful
people. Now it’s late and the seas
are calm with just enough vibration to rock us to sleep.
So until tomorrow, bon soir!
