Malaga, Spain

Aloha Everyone,

Founded by the Phoenicians in 8th Century BC, ancient hilltop citadels, Alcazaba and Gibraefaro give historical context on Roman, Arab and Christian periods.


Too hot. When temperature rose above 90 degrees Fahrenheit, horse drawn carriages weren’t even attractive to visitors.


We were able to find a city pharmacy and purchased more bandages and heat pads for J.J.


Returned to the ship after spending less than 2 hours on shore. The shuttle bus charge 10 euros each for us was well worth the cost. AC was working well, and the seats were comfortable. What more could we ask for?













For dinner, we were joined by Craig and Dawn from West of London. They have not travelled MSC, and we compared notes on our observations. We agreed that MSC has one of the newest cruise ships, but they are poorly managed including over selling their services and grossly underperforming.

We couldn’t agree more.

Aloha -- Cathi
