That looks like a rather crowded ship! I did a Mediterranean cruise in October 2022 on Royal Caribbean’s Odyssey of the Seas. It’s slightly larger than your ship, very modern, with many activities. I had a beautiful stateroom. I chose to buy the specialty dining package, which I loved for the quality, and the fact that as a solo traveller I don’t always enjoy the main dining room. We visited Israel, Turkey, Cyprus and several Greek islands. The ports were all fascinating. My one regret was that some of the popular ports were very crowded with people from my ship and many others. As well, the sheer volume of passengers leaving the ship in port meant a lot of time was spent waiting for each group to leave in order. It struck me that for a port intensive cruise such as the Mediterranean, I would prefer to be on a smaller ship, visiting quieter ports. This summer I cruised around Iceland on Azamara, which reinforced that opinion. In future I will focus on big ships for cruises with many sea days and small ships for port-intensive cruises.

My worlds are colliding seeing you in the Med - I love it! As part of spending this year living mostly on cruise ships, I totally agree with lots of your points. A bit of advice I always give to people is to be CLEAR how far some of the ports are from the cities - some people push themselves too hard to take it all in, and find themselves sitting on coaches for HOURS during their trip!

I went on a 10 day Princess mediterranean cruise in 2019 solo for my 50th end of October. London to Rome. Inside cabin bc it was cold in some ports. Best cruise I have ever taken! 7 ports so I found I spent less time on the ship which was fine. The clientel on the ship was more English and Australian than American. Even though I am American, I felt it was a breath of fresh air! Europeans are so much quieter and refined than Americans. I had no problems finding quiet places to sit and read or just gather my thoughts. Even in some of the bars during the day! But still plenty of good entertainment if you wanted. Of not one thing could I complain!

Nice problem to have, I know🤣, but want to see as many iconic sights and learn as much as possible without boring the kids with too many museums or exhausting everyone with too much walking in summer heat, while also including beach time, (which is everyone's favorite) yet not so much that we might regret the sights we missed while at the beach, which we could do anywhere. No one helping with any input...just"Whatever you think is best." Sure, they say that now! 🤣 I'm way over thinking this 🧐🧠 as usual, I know .

Hy! Regarding the pizza in Livorno: in Europe - apart from US - the best place to eat usually is not run as a business, but more like a hobby - and I do not want to be rude. Living in Europe I visit Italy almost each year so normally I'm not in a rush, like you are when cruising, but still get the wrong pizza. I remember a pizzeria in Marina del Modica (south of Sicily), a family business, opening at 8pm, if you could get this. 2 year ago we ended eating at McDonalds in Ferrara (even it was my son birthday) because at noon, no restaurant was open in the city center. So we get event the next day visiting the Lamborghini museum. So enjoy your holidays, whatever will get

We have done 50 cruises in the past 15 years. I think 10 of them were in the Med and we have visited almost everywhere except I stanbul. We usually fly into Rome and spend 4 days there and then do back to back cruises of 10 to 12 days each. Venice is the highlight of any cruise and we rate the Adriatic ports next. We like Croatia, Slovenia and Greece. We have done 12 day cruises followed by 14 day trans atlantics twice. We prefer Azamara and Holland America and absolutely stay away from large ships. You have now gotten a small taste of cruising in Europe. Be sure to cruise the Baltics and Norwegian Fjords. They are incredible! Our all time favorites were Antarctica, New Zealand, French Polynesia and a Baltic Cruise from Amsterdam to St. Petersburg, Russia going through the Kiel Canal on the old Holland America Prinsendam.

Regarding formal nights the Princess web site says "For more formal settings, men should bring a dinner jacket, slacks, or a dark suit and a nice pair of shoes." We just returned from a Princess 16 day cruise and at dinner maybe a third of the people wore shorts. I even saw a muscle shirt and baseball cap in the dinning room. I'd say any dress code at all has gone the way of the Midnight Buffet.

The long walk and overcrowded streets were a real put off. How can you enjoy a place if you cannot even stop and marvel over something. Also pick pocketing is so prevalent that my sister wore her back pack on the front but in one moment of distraction (I'm sure caused by the thief) her wallet was gone.

I really did enjoy your video and the insights to your trip. We did a 10 day cruise of the Med on a Holland American ship in the 90's and will be doing another on the Sun Princess in May of 2025. I try to never repeat a cruise but when we did the cruise in the 90's I had pneumonia, not the flu so I missed out on everything. The whole cruise was a disaster starting with the Delta Flight having a malfunction out of New York and having to divert to Gander, Newfoundland (It's disconcerting when fire trucks follow you down the runway) where we were for 14 hours until Delta was able to get another plane to get us to Rome. Prior to leaving on this trip I had been sick, but I really thought I was good to go. When in Rome for the 2 days prior to the cruise it was a cold heavy rain and we ran around trying to see what we missed out by losing the day in Gander. The hotel which was next to the American Embassy did not turn on the heat until the following week after we checked out, so for me it just led to my getting pneumonia. My wife had a great time, me, not so much so it's a do over.

I was planning a Mediterranean cruise on Oceania, but in the midst of planning, I changed my mind. I am choosing to do the Mediterranean on maybe Holland America and cruise to Tahiti on Oceania. If I am spending the money for Oceania, I want more ship time. Does that make sense?

Question- how was it with a tender stop at Santa Margherita? Do you recommend an excursion or is it just fine to take it easy there? I don’t want to overbook with excursions… and wondering if Santa Margherita will be that port to take it easy…

No more princes for me on one princess cruise a waiter tried to rape me when I was alone in my room and on another Prince's cruise with my family The babysitter left our 3-year-old all alone up on the top deck when we went up after they chose to get him. If I could have gotten off the ship I'm just cruise I would have but were two grandchildren that was impossible.

My bucket list cruise is to see the Northern Lights while on a cruise. Unfortunately, I'm not finding a lot of cruises that are affordable for a retired senior citizen. If anyone has any suggestions let me know.

Thank you for this information. Does the cruise ship accommodate allergies such as dairy or gluten?

Was the weather really hot? I have heard that from so many that travelled there this summer? We are going beginning in June and I'm hoping it is not to bad.

Thanks for the always helpful, informative, and enjoyable video! These last few have been great for us as we're heading to Athens next week for 2 weeks on the Enchanted (Athens to Barcelona then your Barcelona to Rome) followed by a couple weeks in Rome, Milan, Lake Como, and Venice. So any more videos you post about your cruise and the ports in the next few days will be much appreciated!
