"LIVE" from MSC Divina - May 28, 2016

[Radio]

My flight on American Airlines from BWI-MIA in under 3 min. . .

 

The flight was smooth, but I don't like to fly.

 

This was taken by me with a GoPro Hero 4 on the window. . .

I loved this stairway. If you look at the top on both sides it looks like a ship sailing into the waves with the portholes lighting the stairway. Bob

Thanks for all the great photos. The ship really is beautiful.

The Cruise Pier was long at Ocho Rios

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A lot of passengers wanted to get to our first port of call

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All of the taxi prices were shown

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The beach was small but the water felt nice. . .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The beach was very close to the ship

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After a day at the beach, it was time to go back to beautiful Divina

Mark, I know your cruise is over, but for me it is just beginning! End of the year recitals and concerts kept me from following along but I am on page 2 this morning and plan to read the whole thing. I am as excited for your trip as you were on May 28th! :)

 

My husband and I are booked on the Divina (our very first cruise, ever!) on July 5, and cannot wait to see everything you have to say about the ship and your experiences. Thanks for taking us along with you.

"Tonight was formal night, and I enjoyed a very nice dinner at The Black Crab Restaurant on Deck 6. I consumed Surf and Turf that was very good, and very filling. Gala Night tonight brought out very nice attire from most passengers." (quoting didn't seem to work so I snipped it myself!)

How dressed up were the men? Did the majority adhere to MSC's dress code for formal night: jackets and ties?

[BosoxI]

I returned from Italy two days ago in business class on Delta Airlines. I ordered a chicken dish closely resembling cacciatore, served with yellow polenta. It was absolutely delicious and at least the equal of anything I ate in Le Muse on Divina.

Thanks for the nice comments. . . I really loved Divina and I hope you enjoy your sailing. Not everything was perfect, but most things worked out well.

I would say maybe 50% wore jackets, and most wore ties. . . There were a few men who decided that a T-shirt or baseball cap would be appropriate.
