This is a rolling blog. It will be updated daily as they check out Italy and Spain. New stuff will be posted as it comes in.

Check back often.

Let's get the obvious out of the way...

Vincent, Wendy and another couple are going on a cruise in the middle of this pandemic?

Do not drink and fight.

The Last Centaur. That's why there's none around anymore.

After awhile, Vincent didn't find any statues with names on them.

So, these are the names he has given them.

With that, it's time to leave. The ship dinner bell is ringing and Vincent has never known to miss it.

Plans are for a tour of the city (Ship rule: "Do not go into the public") before it leaves back for Italy.
