Don't forget it's live tonight at 19.30 Italian time, here. Unfortunately I will be out, so I hope they leave it online to view later.

Thank you for those links, lovely pics. I did manage to catch some of the webcast as it must have gone on a long while, and saw the important bits, except for when the screen when blank for the actual smash! It was fun listening to the broadcaster getting more and more excited even though I couldn't understand a word

There were a few English statements though.

Yes I forgot it and only watch the 5 last minutes. The speaker was amazingly extatic. It was like if he drunk 3 gallons of coffee mixed with illegal substances before the show.

II have just come back from MSC MUSICA christining celebrations in almighty Venice, in a ceremony full of pompt and vanity, and with the presence of celebrities with Sofia as “honour” guest smashing the bottle against the ship. The show was very imaginative, full of Italian arts references. The ship herself is probably an stretch from the previous saga, and despite she still has a bit of the usual MSC style, in some spaces, is a step to gain a more imaginative and vanguardist touch. Real Italian design in some places. Mega yacht luxury style. A bit of excessive scarlet tones in everywhere, but I have to admit that at last a MSC ship has..personality. I love the red restaurant (Le Maxim) with the high velvet chairs, the theatre is a "fantasia" with a kind of “Moulin Rouge” stravaganza approach, the lobby is particularly interesting and the Tuccano Lounge and the previous space decorated in golden, sand and black tones is simple superb.

I love the pools, their arrangement, and the SPA is quite pleasant. Of course…oriental orientation. The gym is too small. Cabins are as in other companys ships a bit packed. But anyway a nice ship
