Cruising 101 and Our Cruise






The cruise we took really helped us see a lot of the eastern Mediterranean in a short period of time. It was also nice to have food, accommodation and transportation all included in a package price. It gave us a couple days at sea to relax and the port departure times ensured we were back relaxing early in the evenings. Overall our experience with the cruise was good. They upgraded our room substantially so spending a lot of time on the boat was no problem at all! We also had an awesome welcome package including Champaigne and flowers purchased by Pat’s Grandma – nice touch!


For those who haven’t cruised before, our advice: 1 - make sure that you go on an itinerary that has exciting days at port, 2 - no booze and pop is not included in the price but you can bring some wine on board no problem. 3 – purchase shore excursions from a reputable travel agent like expedia or the like to prevent getting stuck in a slow moving group of retirees and 4 – practice being patient in line ups.
