Napoli!

 

The Celebrity ship looks smart so for interest we priced up an equivalent suite for next October to Grandiosa.

 

I am still picking myself up off the floor….

You must really have enjoyed it! It's a shame we don't have the same flexibility as our stateside cousins who can adjust pricing after booking without losing deposits etc. 

 

It's a shame booking onboard doesn't offer any advantage either.

We ended up negotiating with a couple of travel agents to get their quotes down from the initial £8,588(incl Voyagers Club discount) to £7,500. Still a jump on this year but the duplex is a brilliant space for the family.

 

We settled into a routine where we dropped the little one off 9-10, got off and had a few hours in port, both kids into kids club 13-15 and then enjoyed the cabin / hot tub / minibar until going to dinner when the restaurant opened at night.

 

Last night was quite wobbly, sea legs on land today!

Ischia on the departure from Napoli. Week has absolutely flown by, another happy cruising week in YC!

More F10 winds. With the balcony door open the cabin door is whistling, but perfectly pleasant in the hot tub!

White night was leaving Barcelona, Gala night on the sea day. Also a 60/70/80s night leaving Genoa but we didn’t pack for that 😂

A fitting photo to end our voyage with. Goodnight Grandiosa!
