Default MSC Opera floating for two days in Baltic

According to European News paper the MSC Opera(built 2004) has been
floating in Baltic Sea for two days now.
The wait is for tugboats to tow ship to Visby in Sweden.
The ship can carry over 2000 passengers and over 700 crew and due to
blackout there is no power for anything including sewage system.
Toilets and water are out and smell is beyond tollerance.

Here is a link to the Visby webcam. Might be able to see them tow her
in.

How sad! We took this ship in 2006 in the Caribbean and enjoyed her very
much. The crew and entertainment people were very good about mingling and
getting people of all ages involved.
