a taste of la bella vita



I started this blog less than two years ago as a way to stay connected with family & friends.
In the past year it's grown so much and has also connected me with some wonderful new people.
(In fact, this is my 300th post!)
I never dreamed where it might take me someday.

And now it's taking me on a cruise!
I know, right?  I can't believe it either.

This will be my 8th cruise, but I've only ever cruised on two big American cruise lines.
MSC Cruises is one of Europe's leading cruise lines.  It's an family-owned Italian company with a large fleet.
I'm going to go scope it out for you (I'm such a giver) and tell you what I think. 

Tomorrow I'm joining a small group of travel bloggers and flying to Rome to board the MSC Splendida.
We're off for a three night cruise to experience all that this modern and stylish ship has to offer. Here's a tour of the ship from MSC Cruises.



 We will stop in Genoa, Italy and Marseilles, France before disembarking in Barcelona, Spain.
I can't even tell you how excited I am.


I'll be checking in on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram along the way.

If you have any specific questions or things I should pay special attention to,
just let me know.  Take a look at our cruise page for more info about our cruising experiences.

Have you ever cruised with MSC?  What did you think?
