Rome to Barcelona via Grimaldi Ferry

Boarded the ferry in Civitavecchia (suburb of Rome) and first thing, they did not have an easy way to get my mobility scooter to the upper level. Had to drive in between the trucks they were loading. Route was oily and greasy, but worked fine. When I had purchased the tickets, they had no rooms left so I had two chairs. Checked with the purser and they suggested we come back after they were underway to see what rooms might be available.
We then went to see the ship’s doctor to see what could be done about Lilia’s hand. He was very nice and tended to her wounds and rebandaged them. She looked like her hand had been demolished. He took gentile care of her hand. He also provided a sling so she could keep her hand up.
We went to the deck while getting underway and watched the land slip away, then went to the purser’s desk and they arranged for a room for us (with a view).
It was a nice trip and we slept soundly and arrived in Barcelona terminal around 4PM.
