MSC OPERA - JUNE 2013  Holiday Inn Hotel  Pleasant welcome, asked if we were cruising and whether we would like to face the port so we could see our ship arrive in the morning. Very good disability-friendly room for Nik, our 38 year old son, with parking directly outside the hotel. Expensive parking at £7 per night.

Meal at Indian Melody - a vegetarian Indian restaurant. Unaware that this was the case when we ordered our drinks, we decided to have these and leave. However, the owner had other ideas. He came over and persuaded us to try two starters between us before we actually left. These were delicious so we ended up ordering our main meal from here, on the recommendations of the owner. This was quite an experience, with many different spices used and Nik and I really enjoyed it, although Danny was not so enamoured.

We then went to Weatherspoons for a drink, but the beer and atmosphere was not so good and we went back to the Hotel, even though the bar prices were higher than the local pubs, as you would expect.

Cabin Review

Cabin 8

Small but with more than adequate storage. Cases fit under bed, although the bed does need to be lifted to put the case away and retrieve them.The reason I only gave the cabin 3 is that the shower is too small and it is impossible to avoid the dreaded shower curtain attack We were situated a little towards the stern, so a bit of a trek to the facilities which are midships, but not so far as to be a problem. It was quiet and kept very clean.The pillows are pretty poor, but my request for extra pillows was met very quickly
