Fyi...we are at brussels airport in the brussels airways lounge...absolutely wonderful to hang out here. we are 6 hours ahead of est. brussels airlines has a wonderful "loft" lounge for gold alliance members to enjoy. Located on the 3rd level of terminal a, it was a gem...but hard to find. With a 2 hr. Layover, it proved a lovely experience. Clean, well equipped, wonderful selection of food and beverages, we happily took advantage of the “gold” star alliance perk.
Flight arrived at venice airport on time, no jet way, had to carry hand luggage from plane to terminal. (difficult for some) getting to the ship from the airport was easy, viking people everywhere you turned, impossible to get lost. Dropped off checked luggage with porters, then about a 5 minute walk to the bus. Weather is perfect, overcast, about 50. Boarded bus with about 30 others then off to the star... About a 20 minute ride.
Registration and check in was excellent. Process quick, took about 5 minutes, pass thru security, then elevator to deck 2 on the star. looking around... We appear to be the “older guests” on this trip. I am 75, my wife will be 70 next week.
