Messina!!! Gangways were opened at 3:15 and it's all onboard by midnight. We are staying onboard tonight. Saving ourselves for mañana.

Our approach to Messina, Sicily.

So funny! Unbeknownst to us, @shellbeachjim was sitting right in front of us. We have now met! 🤣 My favorite salad from the Sanctuary menu...

We are back in our "Happy Place." It is much warmer today and a bit breezy.

The extra dishes tonight in the Reserve Collection Dining Room were a Burrata Salad with Shaved Prosciutto and Shrimp fra Diavolo with White Rice. I had the Shrimp Diavolo and it was really good!

You didn’t miss much. It started out ok and then the breeze started at around noon. It was too cold for us. We will try again mañana.

Right above "Start new topic" you will see Find Your Princess Roll Call.

Look through my "Live" thread from this past July on the Emerald. I posted them everyday. Link below:

This morning I had the Brioche French Toast with Apple Compote. I have avoided this dish for several years for the obvious reason, CALORIES! But, OMG it was soooo good! Now to the fitness center! 🤪

We are now arriving a day earlier in Messina. I think this is a make-up for missing Kotor? 🤷‍♂️

We have arrived in Corfu!

The extra dishes are only being offered in the Reserve Collection Dining Room, formerly known as Club Class.

Extra dishes tonight were Lobster Ravioli and Baked Halibut.

@Ombud Laundry Update: Our second bag of laundry was just returned after 36 hours.

Same here on all of our future bookings. 🤷‍♂️

It is nice to have a newer couch. On our last few cruises they were in bad shape and extremely uncomfortable.

We would love to meet you. We will be up there every sea day, will also be there tomorrow. As long as it isn't as cold as today! 😶‍🌫️

Beautiful day in the Sanctuary, but at just over 50° f a bit too chilly for my Cuban blood to hang out. I opted for the second best location to read on a cold day!

@c-boy Very nice! 🍷🍷🍷

Boatload of new crew coming to the ship. Looks like another boatload waiting onshore.

Good morning Montenegro, but not to Kotor. The Captain announced this morning that they were canceling our stop in Kotor today due to expected high winds this afternoon. They had scheduled a rotation of crew this morning and are still doing so, but at a town before reaching Kotor. It is chilly! Expected high today of only 54° f degrees.

Tonight's 360 experience was AMAZING!!! There was no photo restrictions other than no flash photography. The photos do not capture the magnificent experience! The ever changing visuals, savory foods, and wines made the experience one that is unforgettable! The table surface was ever changing to theme of the dish. Each of the ten couples had their own fantastic server. All we can say is that it is an experience to be had! (and Debbie is telling me that it is time to go to bed! 🤣)
