Day 1 VENICE
Arrived 215 at pier from flight via Amsterda, so one of groups to board. Heard of very long lines around 11/12 when most direct flights from UK land and also boarding from overnighters in Venice. 1-2 hrs seemed a standard boarding times unless you had Elite, Aqua etc. Also limited security check provisions with 2 scanners from 1 line. Venice not as geared up for large ship boarding as Barcelona or Southampton. Did note however that the ship switched terminals on our return to Venice later in the cruise so this may enhance the boarding process for future cruises.
DAY 2 KOPER
8258 sofa by window, angled balcony gives extra 25% space at start of hump without compromising light. Very good condition ship, beautiful furnishings. Close to elevator. When you sleep your feet face the front of the shop so you sleep in the direction you are travelling. Stanley very pleasant and excellent as his job. Very quiet location, absolutely spotless. Sofas on the Silhouette are red rather than cream pleather on the Eclipse which takes away the lightness of the room. Immaculate cabins.
