To protect the crew and passengers from covid the cruise lines still require the negative result of covid test when you boarding the ship. It could be cheap antigen test. In the morning in Bari I found the laboratory close to the raileay station where hey make it in just 20 minutes charging just 15 euro. It is worth to recommend: Laboratorio Analisi – Sant’Andrea. The day was hot and sunny when I was walking with my backpack to the cruise port. It is close to the old town – next to the ferries.
My MSC ship was bigger than I expected – imagine 17 decks and capacity max 4500 passengers… In the poor terminal on the jetty they screened the bags. Fortunately I survived with my tea/coffee maker which is often taken to deposit. Wow! It is my first time with MSC – they offer free pizza all over the day! Nice ship! Nice decor in the Zanzibar and Africana self-service restaurants. We are sailing at 6 pm, at 8 there willbe show in the theater and then dancing under the stars. Let’s sail!
