Susan X :
My family is planning a 7 day cruise in the Mediterranean in August. We would like to cruise from Venice to the Greek Isles and Turkey.
I found itineraries from both Norwegian Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean that fit our time restrictions and destination, and I was just wondering if anyone can give some pros and cons for either line from past experience.
We’ve sailed with Norwegian Cruise Line before and I loved the whole “freestyle” dining thing, but I thought it was kind of disorganized (ie. it was hard to find an empty table in the main dining hall during mealtimes). We plan on traveling with two other families, and on Royal Caribbean, would it be possible to have dinner together?
Also if you’ve gone on either of these cruises, how did you like them?
Here are the ports of call:
Norwegian Cruise Line: Venice, Dubrovnik, Athens (Piraeus), Ephesus (Izmir), Nafplion, Venice
Royal Caribbean: Venice, Dubrovnik, Kusadasi (Ephesus), Santorini, Corfu, Venice

We are seriously thinking of going on an Eastern Mediterranean cruise in January 2011. Ports of call include Barcelona, Rome, Athens, Ephesus (Turkey), Cairo, and Malta.
My question is, have you been to any of these places in January (or in the winter)? If so, how did you pack and what did you wear? Was it rainy?
Thank you!

I have very limited vacation time and want to go to Europe…I don’t speak any of the languages so that’s not really a factor. I’ve briefly visited some countries along the Mediterranean, but i was on a cruise so didn’t get to spend a lot of time anywhere.

I am going to Barcelona, Spain, and getting on a cruise ship. Do I have to worry about drinking tap water, or should I only drink bottled water?

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?
