The details on the gondola

Then we went to dinner

My mom's

My DD

Mine-don't freak out, this is a Venetian specialty, Spaghetti con I seppie neri aka cuttlefish, aka squid ink [emoji39]

You can tell by now I have an adventurous palate. [emoji41]

Food looks AMAZING Love2cruz!!!

Love this report!!!

You have a great eye for photographing, really like them

Mike, the food IS delicious especially that gelato. I'm definitely hitting that place tomorrow to try another flavor. There is certainly no shortages of gelateria here.

Tomorrow I'm determined to try a lemon granita somewhere.

I'm using my iPad for most of my pics, glad you like them Yvet.

Last nights restaurant

Candle holders, hand painter glass. Not sure I will buy one as they might shatter during travel, so beautiful

Look at this murano and gold chandelier, only 35000 euros....I should probably have it shipped. [emoji848] [emoji57]

My DD picked these out

Breakfast

DD-she was happy with the hot cocoa

Mine-the cappuccino was great

I liked this chair with the caning

Sitting area

Time to get ready for check out, loved this hotel. Hotel Bisanzio-the location is in the heart of Venice, perfect and central to everything

Instead of taking the Alillaguna this time, we are getting a private taxi that will pick us up at hotel dock and take us directly to port. [emoji41]

Thank you so much. How much are the masks in Venice? I think my daughters will want quite a few!!

OMG!!! I stayed in that hotel in 1978. Wasn't a fancy place then, but it definitely had charm. Definitely memorable as I was propositioned by the desk clerk....single young American woman...We seemed to have a reputation then. Wasn't the only place in Europe that it happened. EM

Arrived in Bari....we are staying on ship to catch our breath today-loving it here on the Orchestra-here's a few teasers, more details when return home.

They have every price range-those were 10 euros each,

Btw-this was worth the added expense-pick up at hotel deck straight to port-no need to deal with lugging suitcases around town and up bridges. Not that we were far from stop, by still 85 euros-worth it!

Alla prossima!

Just wondering what times are the dinner seatings?

6:30 and 9:00-we got first seating. Food is delicious and all Italian-which suits us perfectly. Last night's dinner at L'Ibiscus

Pumpkin risotto with truffle oil and parmigiano

Limoncello torts

Cappuccino today

My favorite hangout so far-Savanna lounge

Love your review .can't wait for more. Planning Orchestra for May.

A few questions about the ship:

Which internet package do you have?

What do they have onboard, Pepsi or Coke products?

What time did you arrived at the port and how fast went the check in? -> maybe you'll cover this in your trip review, if so then I'll wait for the answers till you post the rest of your trip report ;-)
