We will be going on a Mediterranean cruise next month. It goes to Dubronvnik Croatia, 3 ports in Greece, Sicily, and Kusadasi, Turkey.
Where do you usually do currency exchange?
Do you do it before you leave at your bank in the U.S.?
Do you use the ATM machine in each of the countries?
Can you do currency exchange on the cruise ship?
Thanks!

Hello all, in three days my family and I will be leaving for Venice, Italy. Then we will be heading out for a 7 night Royal Caribbean cruise on the Eastern Mediterranean. Our stops include Dubrovnik, Croatia; Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey; Corfu, Greece; and Santorini, Greece.
We’ve been told that American money is of no value in Europe, so what can we use as spending money over there, and is it possible to do currency exchange in any of these places?

When you plan your next and future cruises do you want to go to the same places, like the Bahamas, Mexico and the Caribbean; OR would you like to cruise to a variety of other places, like Europe (the Mediterranean, the Baltic and Egypt), Alaska, Australia, South America, or Asia??

I am an American girl going on an Italian cruise through the Eastern Mediterranean. My dad says there will be mostly Italian families on the cruise (Costa). I’ll be 16 in august and the cruise is in june, but I’m just wondering how Italian boys act. i’m sure they are all different, but generally, how are they different from american boys?

My family & I are taking our first Mediterranean cruise this June and will be seeing ports in Barcelona, Valletta, Maltam, Naples, Rome, Florence, Pisa, Nice and back to Barcelona. What is the weather like during that time of year for those areas? Any help will assist me in what to advise my family to pack. Thanks in advance!

During Spring Break of ‘08, my family and I will be taking a Royal Caribbean Cruise on the Mediterranean Sea from Italy to Croatia, everywhere in between and then back, it’s a week long cruise. The ship we are going on is the Splendour of the Seas, one of the oldest ships with RCL. This will not be my first cruise, I have been on 4 ships with RCL actually, starting with the Monarch of the Seas in ‘98 and ending with the Voyager of the Seas in ‘04. However, since we began cruising, each time we have gone normally we’ve been on the most recently built ship at that time. I am worried that my expectations will be too high set for Splendour and am worried it will ruin the vacation. If there is anyone who has been on Splendour recently, or been cruising in Europe, could you please help settle my nerves by telling me what you thought of the ship or trip, or at least explain the experience you had with Splendour or Europe. Please and thank you! You are greatly appreciated!

I know in Europe, 18 is the drinking age but they are very lenient in most places and don’t card. Would it be the same on a cruise? (in the east mediterranean, from italy to greece to turkey to croatia) What would be the consequences of underage drinking? I’ll be 16, and I’m not planning to get drunk or anything, just have a drink or 2. I’m from the US, and the cruise brochure says usually less than 50% of people on the cruise will be from the US. Thanks! and cheers!

When did you take your cruise?
What were your favorite ports?
What excursion did you take / what did you see?
No links needed for the excursion just where you went and what you did please. Also if you did the night gondola ride in venice w/ a singer how was it?

I’m planning to take my hamster, Hammie, along with me on my upcoming 21 day Mediterranean cruise. Do you think the cruise line will have any problem with me walking him on deck as long as I use a leash? Will they object to me bringing Hammie to the dining room and eating from my plate?
