Ancona
From Europe - The Second Time Around in Ancona, Italy on May 19 '08
We head towards the Patras port and the 4 hours drive went by quickly as I slept all the way. We stop by at the Corinthian Canal again.
22 hours on Superfast
We arrive at the port and it’s 30mins until boarding time. We browse the shops before we head onwards on board.
Spent most of the day sun baking on the deck then headed back to the cabin for a much-needed rest only to wake up and head down to the self-service at 8pm to grab dinner.
It was surprisingly very nice as we continued to stroll through the decks stopping by at the bar for drinks.
The trip is a painstaking 22 hours and so there is very little you can do for that period of time. We pass by Albania briefly as we cross the Adriatic Sea.
The ship is bound for the port at Ancona at 12.30pm and everyone can hardly wait as it has been too long on the ship and we are ready for the next stop.
The night was a rough one as the boat and you can really feel the rough sea. I was frightened as I am not very fond of cruises and this one was a very rocky one. Fortunately I was able to head back to sleep.
The ship has smoking areas but they are all combined with the non-smoking areas so it does not make much difference.
You wake up at 7am and you can see all the men smoking in the breakfast room and it’s enough to make you ill.
We are bound for the Acona and then it’s onwards to San Marino. We dock at Acona port and head over to the next stop. 3 hours on and we arrive in Republic of San Marino
