Hey fellow cruisers, Anyone sailing to the Mediterranean on the 25th??

This is going to be my first cruise that is on one of the newer ships and is more than 5 days! Any tips you can send my way I would truly appreciate. My first time to Italy as well. I have been to Greece and it is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen, although I missed most of the islands when I was there. The Greeks really know how to live!!

Hope to you from you!!

Happy Cruisin'

Hey LK
The Solstice is going to be fabulous. I've looked at so many pictures on line, it's amazing. I found a great place to see pictures and even view a menu or two http://www.thepreismans.com/ click on Solstice when the page comes up.
I can hardly wait. The only tip that comes to mind for a trip longer than five days is don't over pack. I'm so guilty of that. This time I'm going to try to really think through the wardrobe packing situation and not over do it. We will be in Italy for six nights before the cruise as well. Four nights in Florence and two in Montepulciano.
Also, if you liked a five night cruise you are going to love an eleven night.
Happy Cruisin!

We are on board too. This will be our 24th cruise. Our fifth in the Mediterranean.
Suggestions - be yourself, have fun! Do something you have never done before on each cruise. (If you've done it all, try the donkey ride down into the crater on Santorini. After all, you have to return to the ship.)
We are flying in from IAD (Dulles) early Monday morning. Anyone want to share a car? Celebrity is charging 89 per person for transfers (each way). It is very far, we have done it before. A car and driver for 4 people is 125 euros. Much less. If interested let me know. If not we will take the train to the Termini in Rome and then transfer to the train for Citaveccia.
