By the time you read this, I should be back from Bermuda. Last year, I took this ship from the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal and had an almost forgettable trip. But then, I'd have liked to forget it, as it was mostly 7 days of bad weather sailing, with a port diversion geared to place us in safe waters in between two nasty weather systems. (I'm glad I wasn't on the cruise after this, as the ship ended up cruising to Canada in Med-December, instead of the Bahamas as originally planned.)

RQS and I planned on taking only one Bermuda cruise this year. But we ended up scheduling two Bermuda cruises. This will give me a rare opportunity to compare two ships, two cruise lines, two sets of dining & drink packages, and two equivalent cabins. It's going to be interesting, as we will find out whether RQS likes the price/value equation on MSC enough to consider another trip on this line.
As I'm writing, I am taking care of last minute packing, laundry, and other little things I need to do before going away. When I get back, I hope to be able to have some interesting things to say about this cruise and entertain you with my commentary. When I sort things out at RQS's house, I'll bet that I've packed way too much for my own good, and may prune things before we go to the pier.
Although this trip will be done with me presenting as Mario, we're hoping that the next trip will be done with me presenting as Marian. It'll be nice to wear some pretty dresses for gala nights....
