wrigley80 Posted June 25, 2016 Author #376 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Some people enjoying a nice ride in Valletta Ok so remember when I said before that this was the first ever trip to Malta for a Carnival ship. As we were getting ready to depart Matt came on the speaker and said that the Valletta government was going to send us off with a cannon salute. Notice all the people standing up there and the cannons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrigley80 Posted June 25, 2016 Author #380 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Laura was in the Spa while I was enjoying the Serenity Deck. So after we left port she messaged me on the Hub App to meet her at Guys Burgers for some dinner. After dinner we headed to our favorite spot onboard...you guessed it...the Red Frog Pub My drink matched my shirt...hehe So after a few drinks....maybe a few too many. We headed back to the cabin around 1:00 am. That is the end of Day #9 onboard. Next Port stop was in Palermo, Italy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigley80 Posted June 25, 2016 Author #381 Share Posted June 25, 2016 So in Palermo we got off the ship but we didn't have any plans. We walked down a couple side streets away from the port and we found a pick-up spot for a double decker sightseeing bus. It was 20 euros so we decided that would be a good way to sightsee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigley80 Posted June 25, 2016 Author #382 Share Posted June 25, 2016 One of my biggest things that I enjoy in life is a diet coke from McDonalds. The pop in Europe just wasn't good...it was Coke Light. So when I saw this McDonalds...I had to get a picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigley80 Posted June 25, 2016 Author #383 Share Posted June 25, 2016 So our tour on the bus lasted about 2 hours. After the tour was over we stopped and had pizza and some Italian Wine. It was very good The beautiful Carnival Vista This was waiting for us when we got back onboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrigley80 Posted June 25, 2016 Author #387 Share Posted June 25, 2016 The Photo Gallery on the Vista is so high tech and definitely needs to be implemented on all ships. No more searching and searching for your pictures. They are all stored on iPads and can be viewed if you have the Fun Hub App Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigley80 Posted June 25, 2016 Author #388 Share Posted June 25, 2016 So after dinner we headed back to the cabin because we knew that tomorrow was going to be an early day in Rome (Civitavecchia) As we were heading back to the cabin we stopped off in the Family Harbor Lounge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was as we were leaving Palermo I told Laura to look behind her....I thought she was going to fall out of her chair. We both got up and headed up to deck 11 to capture this beautiful sight I was in complete AWE So that is the end of Day #10 onboard the Carnival Vista. Next Up is the crown jewel port on this itinerary of Rome (Civitavecchia) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCTribeFan Posted June 26, 2016 #399 Share Posted June 26, 2016 So in Palermo we got off the ship but we didn't have any plans. We walked down a couple side streets away from the port and we found a pick-up spot for a double decker sightseeing bus. It was 20 euros so we decided that would be a good way to sightsee ... ... I'm a little confused. You didn't post anything about an excursion in Malta, and the photos are all ship photos, or taken from the ship, so it seems like you didn't get off the ship there (Crete and Malta were my favorite stops). But the above photo posted under Palermo is actually the Blue Grotto, which is in Malta. Did you do an excursion and get the photo under the wrong day? I used both my phone's camera and a point and shoot, so uploading them got rather confusing after a while because they didn't show the dates in the same format and after a while, it was all a blur. I took several of Blue Grotto that are almost identical. Since I was running out of memory, I was having to use my P&S camera and I wanted to compare the quality against my phone's camera. Sadly, the P&S quality wasn't nearly as good, so most of my photos from Crete on aren't as sharp or colorful as I'd hoped. :( Just curious if you actually toured Malta.
