Disembarking

We arrived back to Venice Saturday 11th May and we sailed in around 7am so the sun was up and about 13deg so we made a cup of tea and watch Venice from our balcony, we could see more of the sights again and recognised more on our way back in. The sights felt very familiar and we don't want to rushed this morning so we are going to sit back and have a relaxed breakfast, wait till the crowds have left the ship prior to disembarking. The whole disembarking, like every thing else went like clock work. 2400 people got off the ship this morning and with several bags each it was just so well organised. From lunch time the day before you can go to the reception hall and on the walls were coloured bag tags, each colour stood for a time to leave the ship in 15 min intervals between 8am & 9.45 and once that time slot was gone you would have to opt for another time. We wanted a 9.45 and got it. The night prior to disembarking we managed to get all our stuff back into 2 cases, you put your bags out side your door by 11pm with your colour tag on them and in the morning once your colour was called you leave the ship to a smile and fond farewell from the crew on the outer deck, out through customs and your bags are waiting in your colour collection area with more staff there to direct you if needed and within 10mins we were set free into Venice to start our next adventure.
