| Celebrity Summit, AIDAbella & Celebrity Equinox in Civitavecchia | |||||||||
| The second voyage of Celebrity Equinox came to an end at the ridiculous time of 4am on the 18th August 2009 when we arrived in Civitavecchia. Celebrity Summit was due to arrive at 7am with AIDAbella an hour later. Summit I'd last seen in Southampton pre and post-refit in 2008 when they added the stupid Celebrity prefix which is one hell of a mouthful. The AIDA was a new one on me. AIDAbella was the second of the new ships, weighing in at 68,500grt and entered service in 2008. She briefly replaced her elder sister Diva on the Canaries run. I had Diva and Luna so just needed Bella for the newbuild set. I'd struck gold on my first call to the port because we docked right by the entrance. Both would have to pass us! I looked out from the balcony just before 5.40am and spotted two ship shapes in the distance. | |||||||||

| The Ocean View opened at 6.15am for the buffet breakfast so we went to that and sat outside. As the ships were so close together, I ended up leaving most of it since I had more important things to do. | |||||||||
