My last cruise. How about a picture of yours?
Changed my avatar. At least I kept it with boats/ships. (Manpowered Vessel) MV. Guido, out of Venice, Porto Grand Rialto. Home Trade. Duration 45 minutes.
No catering, but the crew did sing a song. Stop over for two weeks in Venice...Bella! Romantic!
Part of my wife and my thirteen summers bumming around Europe, loved it.

Re: My last cruise. How about a picture of yours?
Pretty sure Rod, that it was the Rialto Bridge.Which was where we had to disembark,for the Casino Di Municipali. (Think that's how it's Spelled ) My first Casino!( Hooked!) Little Mate and i , ventured up there .from the Caronia. which was berthed ,down , nearer to San Marco Square. Stayed there through til the morning. Well and truly. Hooked!
Between that, and Monte Carlo, ( the Port, Villefranche) Then Estoril ,(via Lisbon.) Then somewhere near the Casino at Deauville.
Later on, had .the last four ,European cruises, from New York with the Mauretania . More or less the same itinerary. Though , additionally ,it took in Hamburg .Had to travel to Harburg ,to find the nearest one.Think that's somewhere near ,Luneburg Heath? The Ship was Chartered by the Ford Motor Company of America.So the Staff, obviously.liked a flutter.
