4. On the ship

The liner departs from the pier, a farewell whistle, and we are sailing towards Spain to Barcelona.

And we, while there is time, a walk around the liner with its shiny exterior and interior. We walked along the outer deck to the central pools (there are open and under a sliding roof). Sometimes I insert not my own photos, but to make it connected.

Outdoor pool and jacuzzi

Indoor swimming pool under the roof. Stuffy and strong smell of bleach.

On deck, the wind showed us that it was still February and drove us into the elevator, which we used to descend into the central atrium of the ship.

Steps in Swarovski crystals

I already knew him from the photo, but that photo, and here you can walk along the shiny steps, lean on this shiny piano,

next - in the next room you can sit near the jets of the fountain,


Pleasant Italian melodies are playing, but a drill is sounding and we are invited with life jackets to the aft hall, where discos usually take place (The Aft Longe). They came, there they told us in different languages ​ ​ how theoretically to escape in case of emergency, and we went off to prepare for dinner. For myself, after looking around, I saw that near the cabin there is an exit to the balcony for smoking and viewing the sea with an emergency ladder up and down. The most important thing, just in case, will be less to wander along Splendid's endless corridors.

But let's not think about the bad, we are going to the first dinner in a restaurant.

There are two main restaurants on the ship - at the stern "Villa Verde", our restaurant "La Reggia" - in the center of the ship. We decided to stop by for an idea of ​ ​ the Villa Verde restaurant and went down to the 6th deck. He impressed, then in my concept I have to go to the center to the atrium and go to our restaurant. It seems easy, but we go to the center of the ship - a dead end, went down to the 5th deck, again a dead end. It turns out that it is impossible to walk along these decks from the stern to the center and bow of the ship. We went up to the 7th deck, through the photo gallery and the wine cellar we reached the atrium, and down these shiny steps we went down to the entrance to our restaurant.

I recalled the American Voyager, where the street-promenade was the central axis of the ship, on which were located basically all the bars, cafes, shops, etc. , restaurants (three) at the stern, everything was clear.

But still we are in a restaurant, a table for six,

all the guys from Ukraine (our friends and guys from Kyiv). We are served by a waiter from Indonesia with an unremembered name.

This grin of a waiter is similar to a pleasant smile. We ordered wine!

From a wine bag

It was decided to take a bag of wine and water, as we already know that it will be more expensive if taken separately. It contains four bottles of wine (two white and two each) and six bottles of mineral water, with a tip for the waiter of 90 euros. Thought - "not weak. " Considering that we dined not so long ago, we didn’t particularly strain ourselves (salads, veal roll, some kind of herbal green filling is wrapped in it, and there are seeds like melons, a dessert like cake, the women took ice cream). We dug into it under the vine, decided to go up to Pago-Pago, there are drinks, fruits, and there is ice for whiskey,


for which I had to look into the cabin. That is, we added and went to the theater for a performance. I will not describe all of them, they were somehow similar all the days. A few corps de ballet dances, a little circus, songs both acapello and otherwise.

Performance in the theater

But it looked and listened normally. Moreover, we HAVE, and in the "Greek hall" or in this theater - what's the difference. Although it was possible to order all this from the stewards, who scurried around the hall all the time, but it was expensive, and even more so, we had it. The performance was over, and everyone decided to do whatever they wanted.

The people of Kiev left to try their luck at the casino, we went to see what kind of disco on the ship. Rather, it was like ours - “for those who are behind... substitute any numbers”, but live music, a girl sings Italian, Spanish and other songs from disco and tango to rock,

there is an ensemble. In general, fun, smoke rocker. This is how the day went. Tomorrow we are in Barcelona.
