Live Opera from Norway.

[papcx]

Hi all.

 

A little early, but I'll start anyway! Here's what I'll be looking forward to: -

 

 

 

 

And the ports of call: -

 

 

Nice mix of ports of call and sea days.

 

Travelling down to Southampton on Sat and we sail on Sun.

 

Before we start, I must point out that the MSC Opera does not have a wrap-around promenade deck or a forward observation lounge, so before I even leave home for this cruise, I have to say it's the worst cruise ever!

 

Keep calm and carry on cruising.

Hello Paul

 

I'm looking forward to reading about whatever mischief you and Jean get up to.

 

I may well be booking the Opera for late Aug or early Sept so please don't leave any divots on the mini golf course!

 

Hope you are both well and have a great cruise.

My God. Michael makes a re-appearance!

 

Hope you are well.

 

The mini-golf won't be the same without our Armonia friends, but I'm sure we can make new, (almost) as good friends.

 

Of course, as your not with us, we'll have to rely on good old fashioned weather forecasts, in the hope of seeing the sun. So far it doesn't look good! Is there anything you can do for us.

 

Jean says hello.

Hi Michael

 

Where have you been?

 

Nice to see you on here again although it was better seeing you in person. You were a great dinner companion.

Papcx, enjoy your cruise. Hopefully I can do the same itinerary in the future.

Can't wait to read your review.

Thanks for the pictures and live report.

Welcome to my home city Trondheim:) If time permits I will take photos of the ship in town. Don't miss the Nidaros Cathedral, the biggest in Northern Europe. About 20 minutes walking from the port. Have a great cruise :)

Hi Norwegian cruiser.

 

Looking forward to Trondheim, and the Nidaros cathedral is already on the to do list.

Wow! That looks pretty stunning; I hope the weather holds out for you. I'm off to Athens on 5th July so I will have to catch up with the later bits later, but I hope you have a great time!

The weather forecast so far isn't great, but that won't spoil anything.

 

Finished work today, an early start tomorrow, a slight detour to see Stonehenge, and Southampton is calling.

 

Remember,

 

Keep calm and carry on cruising.

[Willow1686]

Well, looking on the bright side, at least you don't have to worry too much about the flood warnings:p

 

I'm sure you will have fun, and that's the bit which matters!

[AmoMondo]

Bon voyage Paul. Nope you and Jean have a great time.

[papcx]

Hi all.

 

Just arrived in Southampton, cheap and cheerful hotel.

 

Nice visit to Stonehenge, it had rained all the way down but the clouds parted for our time at the stones.

 

 

Embarkation tomorrow and: -

 

Live Opera from Norway.

 

Remember,

 

Keep calm and carry in cruising.

You're missing a cracking match. Get BBC1 on.
