The wife and I did the same cruise last November, on Millennium. You can find my full review there, that gives
specifics on each stop. In short, it was a fabulous cruise which we enjoyed quite a bit. The only drawback was
that the itinerary made for some very long days out on excursions. (The two days in Rome were 10 hours each,
most of which was walking.) Take good comfortable shoes!
I don't know how familiar you are with Europe, but I would highly recommend that you get a couple of books on
the most important ports. Getting some of the Vatican and Roman history in your head before visiting Rome will
make that visit much more rewarding in my opinion. The same is true of Florence and its art, if you choose to go
there, versus Pisa. You must visit Pompeii when in Naples, and Ephesus when in Kusadasi. Both are very
impressive, world heritage sites and they will amaze and amuse you as well as educate you.
If you have specific questions, fire away and I'll do my best to answer them.
