2010 Disney Magic Mediterranean Cruise – Days 11-13, At Sea, Barcelona, Home

Posted on
Tuesday, May 26 – Day at Sea A last day at sea! Hard to believe that this is the last full day of our cruise – it certainly doesn’t seem like we’ve been on the ship for 10 days already. Another beautiful morning with fairly calm seas. I got up and went running on Deck … Continue reading "2010 Disney Magic Mediterranean Cruise – Days 11-13, At Sea, Barcelona, Home"

2010 Mediterranean Cruise – Day 10, Villefranche, France

Posted on
Monday, May 24 – Villefranche, France Actually it’s Villefranche-sur-Mer, if you want to get technical about it. Pronounced Vill-eh-FRAHNSH, or VEEL-frahnsh, depending on who you talk to. Another absolutely beautiful morning – “picture-perfect”, as Brent, our Cruise Director, is so fond of saying (they’ve been giving him a bad time about that, apparently). But it’s … Continue reading "2010 Mediterranean Cruise – Day 10, Villefranche, France"

2010 Mediterranean Cruise – Day 9, Ajaccio, Corsica

Posted on
Sunday, May 23 – Ajaccio, Corsica We woke up to another beautiful morning, and were already docked in Ajaccio. Ajaccio is the capital of Corsica, and is located on the west coast of the island. The name is pronounced in several different ways, depending on who you talk to – even our guide said it … Continue reading "2010 Mediterranean Cruise – Day 9, Ajaccio, Corsica"

2010 Mediterranean Cruise – Day 8, Florence, Pisa

Posted on
Saturday, May 22 – La Spezia, Italy Very long day today – left the ship at 7:30 a.m. and didn’t get back until almost 7:30 p.m. It was a good day, though. The weather continues to be just spectacular – we have really lucked out, since we’ve had a couple of the tour guides tell … Continue reading "2010 Mediterranean Cruise – Day 8, Florence, Pisa"

2010 Mediterranean Cruise – Day 7, At Sea

Posted on
Friday, May 21 – Day at Sea Day at sea! Day to rest and relax! Oh joy! We slept in until 8:00, it was wonderful! We were never moving very fast throughout the night, but at about 9:00 the ship stopped moving, and has been floating the rest of the day. The seas are very … Continue reading "2010 Mediterranean Cruise – Day 7, At Sea"

2010 Mediterranean Cruise – Day 6, Rome, Italy

Posted on
Thursday, May 20 – Civitavecchia, Italy (Port of Rome) Slept well for a change – just not long enough. We were already docked at Civitavecchia (CHIH-vi-ta-veck-ee-ah) when we woke up at about 7:00. Lots of people with early tours today (or just wanting to get off the ship early), so Topsider was pretty crowded when … Continue reading "2010 Mediterranean Cruise – Day 6, Rome, Italy"

2010 Mediterranean Cruise – Day 5 – Naples, Italy

Posted on
Wednesday, May 19 – Naples, Italy I think we both slept pretty well – the seas grew much calmer during the night. We got up just a bit before 7:00 – we weren’t to Naples yet, but could certainly see the Italian coastline. Our tour wasn’t meeting until 9:00, so we decided to have breakfast … Continue reading "2010 Mediterranean Cruise – Day 5 – Naples, Italy"

2010 Mediterranean Cruise – Day 4, Tunis, Tunisia

Posted on
Tuesday, May 18 – Tunis, Tunisia I still had a hard time getting to sleep – I think it’s still jet lag. No matter what time I get up and what time I go to bed, my body still thinks that midnight is still just late afternoon, and much too early for sleeping. It’s getting … Continue reading "2010 Mediterranean Cruise – Day 4, Tunis, Tunisia"

2010 Mediterranean Cruise – Day 3, Valletta, Malta

Posted on
Monday, May 17, Valletta, Malta Finally a good night’s sleep – no banging on the hull or body clock issues other than not getting to bed until midnight because of yet another late dinner (a bit after 10:30 last night). It’s a good thing I set the alarm for 7:30, because I was asleep – … Continue reading "2010 Mediterranean Cruise – Day 3, Valletta, Malta"

2010 Mediterranean Cruise – Day 2, At Sea

Posted on
Sunday, May 16 – Day At Sea We both did not sleep well again. Part of the reason is because at about 2:30 a.m. we started hearing this loud, booming noise, which sounded like something big and heavy was crashing into the hull of the ship. It was intermittent – sometimes we’d get three in … Continue reading "2010 Mediterranean Cruise – Day 2, At Sea"
