There are a few positive things happening on this cruise, but I am overwhelmed with how inaccessible it is. We went to a pub crawl the other night and I won a lighted glass cause I was the oldest one there, which is certainly not to imply that I am the oldest one on the ship. We visited four different bars and savored a variety of fruity drinks. The casino staff is really friendly and always encouraging. Gee, wonder why but we've been very lucky at the craps table and a totally addicting slot machine consisting of meerkats and another with lemings. Today is Livorgno, tomorrow Barcelona, then back to our crackerbox for the remainder of the cruise. But our new travel agent (not the one who booked this stupid ship) has been able to get Joe and electric scooter tomorrow all the way to Ft Lauderdale.
The weather's turned cool (cold when you don't have enough warm clothes) and rainy. Some cheery sort just told us a bad storm was brewing and it was going to be ugly tonight. That's OK, I still have a supply of Transderm patches. Yesterday I visited some catacombs and the Pope's summer palace. And I found a oven-grilled bread store. Yummy.
There are some fun people on board. A young couple on their honeymoon share our disgust with the food and tours. Misery loves copany regardless of the age. Well, think I'll go sit in the hydrotherapy pool and warm up. There are worse options.
