and we washed them down with some of these...

WE really enjoyed the night club, as, they have waiters walking around, and we just ordered rounds from them.

Not once did we encounter slow service due to the face that we had Allegrissimo

After dinner, we went to the Purple Bar.

It was another great night.

Little did we know, this will be another one of those, we stayed in the Night club till closing time...

One of many rounds of B52 shots...

Later we had some Chicken Wings from the sports bar, these are €5 per portion

Beef...

Risotto

After we had come pizza , we headed back to the ship...

Tonight was Gala night #2

WE had the green man here, so we could walk across hte street, but, the drivers had other ideas...

Restaurant / Pizzeria from the movie Eat, Pray, Love...

These pictures make Naples look like a nice place, but, it is one of teh dirtiest city's we have been to...

There were garbage everywhere on the streets, dirty nappies, etc...

Leaving he ship, first thing you see...

Day 4 Naples

We only arrived there at 1pm. We left the ship and decided to walk to the train station to see if we could catch the train to Pompeii. It’s not very far to walk, however we did few stops at shops etc, also crossing the street in Naples is a challenge.

The traffic rule in there is – there is no rules.

Everybody are driving whichever way the like and any direction that suit them. Pedestrian crossings and traffic lights are just suggestions, useless and they are just for laugh, as absolutely nobody is considering them.

Want to cross the street? Just run as fast as you can

When we finally got to the station and checked how long it would take us to get to Pompeii and back, we decided not to go, as we would be cutting it fine to be back for sailaway.

So we wandered a bit more on the streets, found the famous pizza place Michelle from the movie “Eat, Pray, love”

After that we went back to the ship and started getting ready for the dinner.

After dinner, the usual, we went to the Purple Bar, Casino and night club. Great night

Will continue tomorrow ater work, with more photos and details...

After dinner, we went to the Purple bar, but the music was not to our liking, so we went to the plaza place...

Milkshake, with a shot of Jameson and Kaluha, amazing....

The one and only, Long Island Ice Tea.

Tonight, i was drinking Jameson and ginger...

Dinner...

We ate in the MDR every evening, food was mostly great... No complaints...

Once they got back from the city tour, we had a great lunch in La Verde restaurant, and went to lido deck for a relaxing afternoon.... It was a pretty lazy day, weather wasn't great and we just wandered around the ship.

We invited few friends again to our cabin for a sailaway, as they were staying in inside cabin and wanted to experience the sailaway from our aft balcony. We had few drinks and went for the dinner.

After dinner we went for bingo, no luck this time. Next we end up in Purple Bar and night club followed after that. That night we didn't stay very late, we were still tired from the night before.

Some drinks for sail-away...

Balcony pics...

More random Genoa pictures...

View of Genoa from our balcony...

So, here it is, Christopher Columbus house

The aim was to try and find Christopher Columbus house, the dude who discovered America...

Found it....

Day3

Genoa

The morning after the night before.....

Woke up, and all I can say was, what a night...

Was not in the mood for sightseeing. Wife and friends went on the hop on hop off bus tour, whilst I caught up on some sleep. (Ok, yes, I had a huge hangover)

This is where it is great to cruise with a group of friends, as, I knew the wife could go and explore the city, whilst I slept in, and not have to worry about it. If it was just the 2 of us cruising, I would have had to get up and joined her.

So, will now give you a tour of Genoa...

After dinner we went to the purple bar for a few drinks, whilst we waited for the Club 33 to open.

Finally we went up to the nightclub, and this is we're we had a really good time. Not sure what time we went to bed, must have been close to 3am

Now, on our first MSC cruise, we really did not like the way MSC allowed the night club to be open to all ages, as there was just to many kids on the dance floor. And some of them were like 2-3 walking dancing, etc, now as I am 6 ‘ 2 , I can easily knock them over, and I did not agree with the fact that kids are out that late. And, after 1am at night, most of the bars are closed, and, why are young kids not in bed?

But, now we knew what to expect, we just ignored all kids and we had a really brilliant evening.

There were a lot of teenagers on this sailing. And, quite often at the bar, they will ask you to buy them alcohol. But, after a few firm no’s, they stopped, for that night anyway

As we left the dining room, they were doing something, and told u to put these things on

we never found out why ???

Dinner...

Can not remember what that is/was

The birthday cake being served... The waiter was great in the way he did the whole thing, it was one of those, you had to be there moments...

It was actually a really good cake...

Now it was a good few hours without an alcoholic drink, and we decided to head back to the ship, and relax by the pool...

The staircase...

After a few hours at the pool, we got ready for dinner.

Dinner was great, with all the courses. Our waiter is really good, and, service was fast, it was one of our friends birthday today, and we had a birthday cake delivered as dessert.

My drink of the cruise, double Jameson and coke, as it saved time to get 2 drinks each time, as it took less trips to the bars...

Starter...

Soup

scenic picks...

Our tour bus...

Basilica Notre-Dame of the Garde

WE had good vies from up here of the city...
