Our original plan was to just go to Italy, which we ended up deciding may be too expensive once the planning got underway so we started looking at cruises. While researching cruises the other night, came across a few different options for a Mediterranean cruise – each starting and ending in Rome (kinda killing two birds with one stone I guess). Has anyone taken a similar cruise before and what was your experience?

Hi,
Me, my mum and my dad are all going on a weeks cruise around the Mediterranean, this august (2010). We are sailing with Thomson and are going to be aboard the Thomson destiny. I have seen many videos and pictures of people having tours of the bridge on a ship, especially one that showed a video of a group of people up on the bridge of the Thomson Destiny.

I was wondering, how would i get one of these tours.

Would i have to email Thomson? or speak to the reception staff onboard the ship.

Any suggestions, would be good.

Many Thanks,

Rob

I am going on a cruise to the Mediterranean Sea and had a list of places which sounded nice. Out of the following, which would you reccommend for a family of three 21-25 year olds and two 50 year old parents?

Rhodes, Greece
Monte Carlo, Monaco
Athens, Greece
Santorini, Greece
Gibraltar, UK
Olympia, Greece
Ephesus, Turkey
Mykonos, Greece
Limassol, Cyprus
Barcelona, Spain
Ibiza, Spain

Any personal information you have on things to do at these or the best possible choices would be greatly appreciated.

Also, if anyone knows of cruises to a good combination of these places, that would be great.
Thank you…

I’m going on a Mediterranean cruise (ports include Barcelona, Nice, Livorno, Rome, Naples and Sicily, then back to Barcelona). My nationality requires me to get a schengen visa – however I was only given a single entry schengen visa. The ports I will be visiting are countries within the schengen agreement (Spain, France, Italy) – however, we are cruising on international waters. Will I be safe – meaning, will I be allowed to enter Barcelona again?

Hello! I’m an eighteen year old college student. I just won a 12 day cruise for two to the Mediterranean. I am dependent on my family, never had a job, no income for myself. The estimated retail value of the trip is $24,580. I was so caught up in the excitment of winning I didn’t think about the future tax implications. I was wondering what those would be?

At the moment I’m thinking either
Orlando,FL or a cruise of the Mediterranean
any other suggestions?
Note:My family likes heat and fun.

We are planning a cruise for our honeymoon, and are deciding between 2 similar cruises leaving at the same time.

Royal Caribbean: Venice, Athens, Mykonos, Katakolon, Corfu, Split, and back to Venice.

MSC: Venice, Bari, Katakolon, Santorini and Mykonos on the same day, Athens, Corfu, Dubrovnik, and back to Venice

We are in our mid 20s, so it would be nice to have other people closer to our age on the boat, but not absolutely necessary. We would prefer a more “relaxed” atmosphere on the boat as opposed to feeling scheduled in. Has anyone had experiences with either of these cruiselines? What do you think?

I am going to Greece so I am looking for a Mediterranean cruise that leaves from, probably Athens and ports in Africa. I know that there are some that visit Cape Town South Africa and Egypt. Any suggestions would help. I know there are some that go to turkey and istanbul and I would go on those ones but I really would like to see Egypt.

If so, could you tell me what to expect on one? What kind of extra fees will there be? What kind of activities do you recommend? (Cruise line is Royal Caribbean if that helps.) I am looking for personal experiences and opinions, not links to web sites. Thanks!
