I'm not the crying type, but for some reason her departure has me very emotional. It feels like the first glimpse of life post Covid. I know we have more challenges ahead, but this ship sailing brings me hope that eventually we will be back to the sea. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BermudaBound2014 Posted August 16, 2020 #58 Share Posted August 16, 2020 She looks so small already. I wonder what those aboard are feeling right now. Wishing all an amazing voyage. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Até Posted August 16, 2020 #59 Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) She passed in front of the live camera when it was zoomed in on the upper decks. I saw very few people up there for a sail away, didn't think to get a screenshot. They may have been on the Port side where the fire ship was displaying.

Preziosa Posted August 16, 2020 #65 Share Posted August 16, 2020 It was a fantastic moment. I also followed the sail away on the web camera. We were on the first sailing from Hamburg with Grandiosa and now We Will Be back the 4. Th of october. It Will Be so fantastic. We have just been on a Cruise with Mein Schiff 1 from Kiel. It is so fantastic that We Can Cruise again. Thank you To TUI Cruise and MSC Cruises to bring us all back where We belong.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nunagoras Posted August 16, 2020 #68 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Many thanks to all the contributors for this possible CC Grandiosa's "maiden voyage" coverage. Being an Italian cruise line, I believe we won't have any other live from the ship... Very wonderful job, guys!... 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, that got me too!!! Hoping that all goes well on this sailing, because it does affect the entire cruise industry. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DCGuy64 Posted August 17, 2020 #71 Share Posted August 17, 2020 This is an exciting moment for MSC and the whole cruising industry, not to mention the passengers. Very happy (more like thrilled) for them, actually! 😁 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
