Hello. I'm off the boat, and sitting in an almost deserted coffee shop at uShaka airport in Durban. For the next three hours. I really need to get better at planning and life and things. I wanted to show you a few more pictures of our little trip on board the MSC Opera.
We did everything. Went to almost all the shows, tanned, ate almost all the food, interviewed the crew, hung out with the captain, went to the disco, the deck parties, ordered room service, attacked the mini bar, watched live music, comedy shows and lazily sipped cappuccinos on our cabin balcony, overlooking the never ending ocean. We really did every single thing and loved every single minute of all of it. The dancing, the cocktails, the people, the crew - everything was incredible. I am totally addicted and already planning our family trip. I think the best day was Wednesday - we had a late and lazy breakfast (there is basically food 24/7) and then tanned and cocktailed all afternoon. We got fresh burgers and ice cream at the lunch buffet then had a mini nap. Then we had an amazing dinner, some live music, then the deck party where you basically just dance and dance and dance and there are shows and performers and everyone is so festive. Drinks were being sipped from pineapples and there was a burlesque show. Then we went to the upstairs disco which was really, really fun. Then wobbled back to our cabin, sea-legs and all. My feet still hurt from all the fun, I can still hear the music ringing in my ears, with slight sunburn, a full tummy and a huge grin on my face. It was amazing.
The cruise is very, very family friendly and there is stuff going on all the time. From deck Bingo, to stacks of board games, parties, kids clubs, kids cooking parties, activity rooms, gyms, spas, casino - whatever your vibe is, they're doing it. The captain's dinner was great, there were loads of little parties and photographers everywhere and I saw quite a few famous peeps on board. Funny, funny stuff. It's all red carpets, big mirrors, gold plated staircases, fun and luxury without being too snooty, you know? Please go - you will have SO much fun. Here are more pictures, and more posts coming. If you want to check out other cruises, ships, routes and packages, go here and to view the routes for the MSC Opera. Happy sailing or erm... You know what I mean.
