MSC Splendida look back | 14/1/12 | Back home & Our ship

Image
Our last day started off quite early where we finished off packing and left our suitcases where they were required then went and waited in the theatre to wait to be sorted for our coaches. I was quite sad to be leaving the ship but couldn't wait to get home and see my parents and also start planning for our Lil's. We had an amazing time and I would certainly recommended a cruise if you loke variety. The food was great and the staff were incredibly friendly.  Our flight bacl was just as exciting as our trip out but on pur return we learnt that the Costa Concordia had sunk off of an island near Civitavecchia. Later we heard that some were lost in this terrible accident. I want to leave this post which some pictures from pur beautiful boat.  Thank you MSC. xXx

We left at 5am in the morning to make our flight, I decided to wear high heels and had to change the moment I got to Gatwick as my feet were killing me. When we got there we checked in with plenty of time to spare so went to one of the cafes to have some breakfast. I had a sausage sandwich with a flag stuck in the middle and a coffee. We had a bit of a time to wait so just looked around the shops and kept looking out for our gate to be called.  When our plane was finally called we had a long walk to our gate and another wait at the other end.  I had never flown in a big plane before but only in a light aircraft back in 2006, so it had been a long time.  When on the plane I had a bit of a moment when we were taxying away but once on the runway I was fine and couldn't wait ti take off. The feeling when you take off is immense, such an amazing feeling. I could bit stop smi...
