Eastern European/Greek Isles Cruise?
Hello gals, longtime lurker and first time poster. My DH and I are considering a Eastern European cruise. We have been eyeing Royal Caribbean's options. Anyone ever been on....
Royal Caribbean's 7 day cruise from Civitavecchia (Rome) to Messina (Sicily), Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey; Piraeus (Athens), Greece; Chania (Souda), and Crete, Greece on the Navigator of the Sea
OR
Royal Caribbean's 7 day cruise from Bari, Italy to Corfu, Greece; Santorini, Greece; Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey; Katakolon, Greece; Venice, Italy on the Splendour of the Sea
Also, I'm not familiar with these port of calls. I'll take any advice about these ports/cities.
Thanks!
Re: Eastern European/Greek Isles Cruise?
DH and I leave on RCL Navigator on the RT Rome cruise in September and are way excited. We are cruising and then staying an additional 3 days in Rone before heading back to the US. I was overwhelmed at first but we are at the point where we take one city a weekend, explore and decide what we are going to do. Unfortunately with DH's travel schedule this ddoes not happen every weekend, but we try
.
Sorry not much help but we are excited about our trip. FYI, RCL was offering some great deals recently (we got a balcony cabin for less than $1K each).
I haven't been on either RC cruise; however, I've been to all the ports except Katakolon, GR.
Tough call, but I'd probably go with the 1st itinerary b/c I'd want to see Athens (and, having been both as a port stop and regular air (i.e. staying a few nights) I think a port stop is enough time to get the highlights).
Bari, Corfu, and Santorini are all lovely, but they're all beach all the time (not a whole lot else to see or do). That's totally cool, but personally for me, the 'at sea' days are enough "beach" time and I like to also have some city time on the port calls.

We were really happy with Norwegian's Mediterranean cruises. Have you consider ones that stop in Egypt?
Princess has a handful of 12 day cruises that do Italy, Greece, Egypt, and Turkey.
Holland America has similar cruises for 10 days.
