Disembarkation day. Time to say goodbye to first class service, dining, accommodation and entertainment and being moved around the Mediterranean from fantastic port to port without having to pack or wait for trains or planes. Would definitely go with Princess Cruises again, just have to pick the next cruise route.

As our 3500 disembark another 4000 are getting on this afternoon for the cruise back to Barcelona, after which the ship heads to America for their cruise season.

We have two more days in Venice before we head off to London for a week. Mick and Janmarie are leaving the group today to find accommodation in Verona, and Andre and Patricia will only be with us for three days in London before they head to Amsterdam to catch up with family.
