First took a cruise in 2007 with our daughter around the Mediterranean and I was sold the moment they gave use the champagne as we stepped aboard (Celebrity). I loved everything, even the long wait at Santorini for the cable cars. Since then we took a 5 week trip to Japan and short one to Tasmania. Now going back to the Mediterraneon for the 2nd time (Princess) I wanted to explore on our own, but knew from the previous cruises it is not always easy (and the info given on the ships is sometimes less than adequate), so I was so excited to find this site when I entered Venice ports. We are now ready to take on Venice, Monte Carlo, Athens and Naples. You don't need to wish us luck because we have all the info we need thanks to Martina and Ralph.
