Creator's Key Takeaways

Is going on a Mediterranean cruise in the middle of the summer a good idea? Is it too hot? Are the ports too crowded?

We ended up with room 9280 right here, smack in the middle of the ship, two decks below the pool deck.

This was one of the most efficient, delayfree excursions we've ever taken.

We were able to witness Mount Etna erupting. This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Avoid flying in the day of or day before your cruise to prevent jet lag from ruining your first day.
Bring a Euro outlet converter for extra plugs in the room.
Pack a lunch from the Cafe Promenade with beverages from your drink package for a frugal beach day.

Tender port ticketing hassleBook an excursion to avoid ticketing nonsense.
Older ship lacking modern amenitiesConsider the itinerary and that you can't just keep going on the latest mega ships.
