Bon Voyage (Cruise Begins)

When we rounded the corner and saw our ship we were all very excited. Most of all, it was great to see Matt’s face because the size of our ship was ten times larger than the one we saw in Bordeaux...and Matt hasn’t been on a cruise!

We boarded the Emerald Princess ship and ran all around checking out the main balcony, the clubs, pools, dining rooms, etc. What an enormous ship! We had dinner in the Botticelli dining room and met our two waiters Dan and Ignacio “Iggy”. We set sail for Marseille, France, and enjoyed our first night in our room made up beautifully by our steward Grace.

That night we enjoyed the entertainment on the ship and said “Bon Voyage” as we left for Marseille, France. From the looks of the ship, our nice room and balcony view, and the great company - this was shaping up to be a great time in the Med.
