MSC Day 3 - Genoa: A Hidden Gem Revealed! 🇮🇹

🔥 Final Verdict: DO NOT MISS "Little Cinque Terre" (Boccadasse)! 🌊 🚢 Morning Disembarkation Docked right in the city at 9 AM—no shuttle needed! 30-min walk to Piazza De Ferrari (passed the Cathedral, Doge’s Palace, and grabbed €5 pesto pasta to-go from UGO). 🌈 Boccadasse Adventure Bought €2/110-min bus tickets at a tabacchi (big "T" sign). Bus to Boccadasse vista panoramica: Colorful houses + dramatic cliffs = unreal views! Spent 2 hours shooting photos and climbing hills for panoramas. 🚌 Ticket Drama (Happy Ending!) Overstayed our ticket—but a kind shop girl directed us to Carrefour Express for new ones. She even heart-latte-art’ed our cappuccinos! ❤️ 🍽️ Food Hits & Misses Bonus Fried Seafood: New owners, meh taste. UGO Pasta Round 2: Worth the 20-min wait! Dinner on Ship: Naples-style eggplant + divine pork loin + pistachio cake. 🐷✨ (Almost ordered seafood pasta—thankfully asked first! Crew noted my allergy seriously.) 🚇 Metro Mishap Accidentally took the wrong train but got off in time. Police checked tickets at exit (5 mins expired)—no fine! 😅 💭 Final Thoughts Genoa’s city center felt like a chaotic small town (motorcycles! uneven pavements!). But Boccadasse? STUNNING. Made the day! Ship deck photos were overhyped—meh. #Genoa #Boccadasse #MSCCruise #TravelBlundersTurnedMagic ✨
