| Ocean Princess (II), Thomson Destiny, Le Diamant, MSC Lirica, Celebrity Constellation, Voyager of the Seas, Crystal Serenity, Grand Holiday & Norwegian Jade in Civitavecchia | |||||||||
| The 13th October 2010 was a morning cruise ship rush hour in the Italian port of Civitavecchia. Nine ships were due, including us on Celebrity Constellation. Last time I had been on the 18th August 2009 on Celebrity Equinox, there were just three including that. Of course, last time Celebrity Summit was in and, since Ocean Princess was docked where we had been, I could at least imagine how we looked arriving. The Princess was on a turnaround so was there very early at 4am. We, Le Diamant, Thomson Destiny and Voyager of the Seas were 7am, Grand Holiday half an hour later while MSC Lirica, Norwegian Jade and Crystal Serenity were 8am. Things weren't as planned. The Thomson and Le Diamant were already in. Lirica was number four with us five to be followed by Voyager, the Crystal, Grand Holiday and Jade. It was another very windy and cold morning as I went on deck shortly before we picked up the pilot and saw myself surrounded by gorgeous shippies! | |||||||||
