Live from MSC Bellissima B2B from Barcelona 25th feb to 11th mar

[Itochen33]

Hello on this beautiful Saturday!

 

for me it was a VEEERY short night… wasn’t planned like that but I got… preeetttyyy drunk… and partied till 5 AM… and then had to get up again at 7:30… so I am TIRED as hell… but okay… I will survive.

After all… I HAVE ANOTHER WEEK ON THIS CRUISE!!! Whoop whoop 🙌🏻 

 

Aforesaid everyone that wants to know how MSC YC is handling a B2B:

 

spectacularly unspectacular!!!

 

i went to the concierges desk at 10 AM. 
Got my NEW cruise card and my NEW bracelet, had to take a NEW photo for the file and that was it. 
 

since I stay in the same cabin there is really nothing else to do. 
 

Welcome on board the Bellissima!

 

after that I went and almost drowned myself in the Whirlpool on deck 19.

 

Barcelona is blessed with sunshine today!

Lunch was interesting…

the Menu in the YC Restaurant didn’t appeal to me so I went to the buffet and found… nothing…

Really! Nothing on the buffet said TRY ME! EAT ME!… so I didnt…

and went up to the YC grill… and it happened AGAIN!!! Nothing really started a craving…

I WAS hungry though! And since I almost reached my step goal with running around to FIND something to eat…

I then settled for:

 

 

a portion of Gnocchi.

they were Gnocchi…what can I say about that?…

After Lunch i went to take a nap and was woken what felt like 5 minutes later by the announcement for the ketchup… mayonnaise… mustard… THE SAVETY DRILL…

 

so I stood in bed straight as a candle, TRIED to find my remote that I burried under a gazillion things on my desk since I NEVER turn the TV on, gave up and directly dialed 881, stumbled out of my Cabin, was naughty and used the priority service in the elevator to go to my Assembly station on deck 6… and then drove back up to 18 yawning widely after being the first one to scan the cruisecard…

 

“Madaaaam? Have you watched Videoooo?“ guy in neon yellow with pink hat

 

“*yawns* hes… last week…“ me yawning and mumbling.

 

“Ooooh!! Baktabak!“ Guy nodding rapidly…

 

“Yes… Back Tobacco… Nikotin… good idea…“ me turning half asleep and nodding once after almost getting motion sick watching him nod…

 

 

straight to 18 and into the smoking room!

I feel fluttered  (wanted to say "gebauchpinselt", but I can't think of a suitable English expression right now. Do you have an idea?) 😆
Have a great second half of your cruise with lots of rest, great moments and please keep sharing with us.

PS. As a strict, but always fair, non-smoker I found your introduction clear. But I found nothing for which that would have been necessary. I love reading these attitudes of an addict and your experiences in the nicotine den. 🤣😂

Tickled pink (very pleased).  Although I have no idea what a 'Cooper of the Day' is....

A Picture of my Chihuahua the MINI Cooper that I get from my grandparents every day. I post it in my trip reports and call that the „Cooper of the day“

 

I would have suggested ‚doggyppreciated‘ for ‚gebauchpinselt‘

Quando sono solo e sogno all'orizzonte e mancan le parole
Sì, lo so che non c'è luce in una stanza quando manca il sole 
Se non ci sei tu con me, con me 
Su le finestre 
Mostra a tutti il mio cuore che hai acceso
Chiudi dentro me la luce che 
Hai incontrato per strada 

Time to say goodbye
Paesi che non ho mai
Veduto e vissuto con te
Adesso sì li vivrò
Con te partirò
Su navi per mari
Che, io lo so
No, no, non esistono più
It's time to say goodbye

Quando sei lontana sogno all'orizzonte e mancan le parole 
E io, sì, lo so che sei con me, con me
Tu mia luna, tu sei qui con me 
Mio sole tu sei qui con me, con me, con me, con me 

Time to say goodbye
Paesi che non ho mai
Veduto e vissuto con te
Adesso sì li vivrò
Con te partirò
Su navi per mari
Che, io lo so
No, no, non esistono più

Con te io li rivivrò
Con te partirò
Su navi per mari
Che, io lo so
No, no, non esistono più
Con te io li rivivrò
Con te partirò

Io con te
 

Thank you Andrea! Wouldn’t have registered that we are leaving without you!

Wow, thank you very much, that's exactly what I meant. Let me practice it:
"I am tickled pink to have got your support" 🙂

Cooper is actually just her dog, but I can imagine how painful it is to be separated from a beloved pet. That's why there is a dog picture from home every day.

Good morning!

 

Yeaterday I fell for MSCs WiFi trap! Despite knowing it!!!

DAMN YOU IT OF MSC!!!

 

i forgot to log out and log in again with my NEW Internet account. Of course it cut off just as we left Barcelona…

 

But now I got it and everything is like it should be again!

 

yesterdays dinner…yes… since I will have the same food on the menu like last week, I decided to check out the buffet and it was surprisingly quiet!

 

don’t ask me why this photo is upside down… I can’t turn it around…

 

all you see on this plate was quite tasty except of the Caneloni… that was dry… like really dry…

NEWSFLASH!!!!:

 

In YC on Bellissima the Champagne has changed! Nicolas got KICKED! Chakkkaaa!

We now drown in Pommery! Not that I am sad about that..

It was the same for me on Grandiosa in January- only Pommery. I preferred it though! I think there are supply issues. I hope they stick with it! Have a glass for me-Cheers!! 🥂

[LiquidWu]

Hey @Itochen33,
I'm a little worried about you. We haven't heard from you since the bar crawl with many impressive drinks. Nothing happened, right? 

I hope everything is OK and you are really enjoying the cruise. Of course, that's much more important than being online all the time. 🥰
