The floor is almost all installed. There’s not quite enough Redupax (the underlayment) so the last of the dining room floor will have to wait for a few more days but we are getting there! Had hoped to have all the flooring before the dining room furniture arrived but at least we’re close. It’s good to be able to eat at a table indoors. We’d gotten rid of the temporary table weeks ago.
It was an incredible experience to actually walk the streets of Pompeii, once a bustling resort town in the Roman Empire until 79 AD when an apocalyptic explosion buried it under 20 feet of volcanic ash. Archeological excavations since the 19th Century continue to reveal evidence of a thriving community.
Once the largest cruise ship in the world, Allure of the Seas will be our home for the next seven nights as we cruise the Western Mediterranean and explore the eighteen decks of this behemoth.
Our recent travel misadventures seriously curtailed our time in Rome pre-cruise but we did get to visit the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel before making the trip to Civitavecchi for an overnight in the port city of Rome preparatory to departing on Allure of the Seas tomorrow.
