Live From Carnival Splendor Inaugural (s) - July 2-25
The "official" Inaugural voyage is July 13th from Dover to the Baltics and back. I also booked the two added cruises before that - a reposition from Italy and a mini 3 day cruise which I figured was less expensive than 3 days in London.
The cruises are:
July 2-10 - Genoa, Monaco, Barcelona, Lisbon, Le Havre, Dover
July 10-13 - Dover, Amsterdam, Dover
and
July 13-25 - Dover, Copenhagen, Warnemunde (Germany), Helsinki, St Petersburg (overnight), Tallinn, Amsterdam, Dover.
The naming is July 10th - not sure what the schedule is or if I'll attend. would like to see Dover Castle sometime and also the White Cliffs.
Will be flying to most of Monday and Tuesday it looks like - via Chicago, Madrid, Rome before arriving in Genoa (I hope). Who knows where my luggage might go? The final leg is on Alitalia but they aren't likely to go bankrupt between now and then.
Maybe some posts from airports if I'm bored - almost certainly from the hotel in Genoa, July 1st, PM.
If you want to follow along at home, I will be posting much here:

Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me! I want people to know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved.
