Travel Date: 2023.09.08 – 2023.09.18

Destination: Costa Smeralda

Western Mediterranean Cruise 9 nights 11 days, Day 6

Here’s a balcony selfie to commemorate opening a bottle of wine and sleeping in.

But why does the edit look like that?

This is a different restaurant, not the main one.

You can order omelets and pancakes here, and they bring them to your table.

But it took a long time 😎

After breakfast, I started exploring the cruise!

I went out to the deck for some fresh air.

The foam was especially visible.

I checked out the outdoor pool and watched another dance program.

There were too many people, and I preferred just feeling the breeze, so I didn’t join.

I struggled with constipation, taking a Magnesium tablet every day, yet I only went to the restroom every three days… (TMI)

Maybe I just haven’t adjusted yet.

But that day, I suddenly had a stomach ache, so I couldn’t make it back to my room and had to use the public restroom on the cruise, where the decor was so pretty that I took a mirror selfie.

I had lunch at the sushi place in the main hall.

The all-you-can-eat lunch was 16 euros, which is quite cheap.

This was also recommended by our tour guide.

While it can’t compare to Japanese sushi in Korea, it was still pretty good! Haha.

I watched a show about the cruise staff on TV while eating.

I kept reordering eel sushi. Haha.

I love eel!

After eating, I went swimming 😎

My face looked terrible, so I’m hiding it this time.

There were two water slides with no lines, and they were really fun! Haha.

Other people said it was crowded, but whenever I went, it was never that busy—such a bonus!

It was a bit embarrassing to ride alone, but once I did it, I forgot all about it! Lol.

Seeing an ice sculpture made me remember that there was supposed to be a carving performance here, but when I came back, it was almost over… Haha.

There were no seats left, so I managed to snap a picture.

What is that…? Suddenly, I became a dolphin. Haha.

I was bored, so I went to the casino. Haha.

But there was an NPC there who looked so much like Gossip Girl’s Blake Lively that I couldn’t stop staring… Was it her? Probably not…

Seeing her lip-sync in English made me think it wasn’t.

Hehe, the most fun program on the cruise is Bingo!!

If you win, how much was it…?

I think it was 100 euros for three Bingos and 1000 euros for Full Bingo.

Wait, how did I win something here too?

They were drawing for a prize and my number was called first, so I got an extra Bingo card. Haha.

(The blonde staff member who helped with the casino jackpot was there, so I felt a bit awkward. 😜)

The only thing I remember as a prize now is a Costa exclusive cap and something else, but two months have passed, so I can’t remember…

I didn’t want it to be boring, so they showed some of this in between.

Please hurry and call out the numbers!!!

Four numbers were left, and then three people got Full Bingo. 😭

What a shame, my money… (not really)

I had another glass of wine with dinner…

I’ve developed quite the taste for wine now.

Since I was so full from sushi, I ordered one less dish.

But that shrimp was truly delicious!

Then I went to the buffet to eat some fruit, hehe.

The peaches were incredibly tasty.

They were perfectly sweet, like the best of both worlds!

What Happened with the Light Blur

This was either Day 5 or Day 6, and I’m confused, but it’s the most disappointing program I missed…

Everyone enjoyed a silent disco party while wearing headsets….

If you take off the headset, it’s completely silent. Haha!

Put it back on, and it’s like a club atmosphere.

I went to bed early and missed out, but Mom had a great time!

It was a full day at sea, so I don’t have many pictures.
