Checking in for our cruise at Genoa port could have been any booking hall or terminal building, which in this case was a good thing as this cruise was a birthday surprise for my mother, who had no idea she was going on a cruise, untill she was shown to her cabin. Which was a very nice, modern spacious cabin.My cabin was also nice and modern but not as big as mums.
The embarkation process was very slow, they would call so many people at a time, even though we had done all the paper work in the previous hall, i dont know what the hold up was as it was now mid afternoon, surly time enough to prepare all the cabins for news guests.
The ship was beautiful, full of Italian elegance.You could not fault the cleanliness on the ship everything was sparkling.
