The large model of the former Costa Firenze. Last year I was on board the beautiful, in my opinion, Costa Firenze which unfortunately passed to Carnival in February 2024. This was the large model of the ship that was present on the main deck of the ship itself. Now have they changed the name on the model too?

Some statues on board the Ex Costa Firenze. When I was on board the Costa Firenze a couple of years ago I took some photos of some of the statues that were there. Dante and especially these two of a girl walking her dog (which were at the Sunset Bar) that reminded me so much of my wife walking our pitbull.

Stir-fried rice noodles with egg also on board.

Originally from Asian cuisine, these noodles have become popular around the world thanks to their simplicity and unique taste.

The combination of rice noodles, fresh vegetables and eggs offers a perfect balance of carbohydrates, proteins and vitamins, making it a healthy and complete option. One of the most appreciated features of stir-fried rice noodles with egg is their convenience. They are easy to prepare and can be stored in an airtight container, keeping their flavour intact. This also makes them perfect for eating on board, whether it is a boat, train or plane trip. Their lightness and ease of transport make them a great choice for those who are always on the go. The secret to the success of this dish lies in its ability to combine different flavours and textures. The rice noodles, with their soft texture, go perfectly with the crunchy vegetables and creamy eggs. The addition of soy sauce and sesame oil gives the dish a rich and aromatic flavor, which satisfies even the most demanding palates. Stir-fried rice noodles with egg are a dish that combines convenience and taste, ideal for any occasion. Their versatility and unique flavor make them a winning choice for those looking for a quick, nutritious and delicious meal.

The Costa Diadema in the Geiranger fjord. Until a few months ago I was on board the Costa Diadema (of Costa Crociere) doing fjord cruises. Among the most beautiful cruises there could be (not in the heat). In these two images the ship was "parked" in front of the town of Geiranger which is located right at the end of the fjord of the same name, the one famous for the Seven Sisters and Pretender waterfalls.
