Creator's Key Takeaways

i have to say royal caribbean has made my day i spent a week in france and i could not get escargot and it was killing me

i definitely prefer the oasis class ships to the quantum class

the pizza is fabulous i also love cafe promenade the little snacks there are really yummy

i recommend doing a private tour instead of one of the big bus tours because you can really enjoy the island

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book activities, dining, and specialty restaurants as soon as possible on the app or when you board
Get euros from an ATM when you arrive at the airport for easy currency
For Santorini, take the cable car or donkey up from the old port instead of a tender tour
Use private transfers or drivers for a more flexible and enjoyable shore experience

Travel with me on Royal Caribbean new ship Odyssey of the Seas Greek isles cruise through Italy and Turkey from Rome Airport where we took a Mercedes private transfer from my partners at Your Italy for my family of 10 to Civitavecchia port for our fabulous 8 day cruise from Rome to Turkey, Greece and Italy. Follow my Quantum class ship tour, see my balcony cabin 7688, watch all the fun on sea days, dining, entertainment and activities on board including Bumper Cars, Silent Disco Party, the Solarium plus dinners at Main Dining, Izumi and Wonderland. Santorini never disappoints but my partners Charles Takis Stathoulis with Charlie The Traveler, Chris Tsarouhidis at Elegant Santorini Tours, and our fabulous guide Ismini Filippa made our private tour perfect starting with a Donkey Ride up to Fira, a stop at Oia, fabulous wine tasting at Venetsanos Winery overlooking the caldera and a delicious dinner at To Psaraki before watching the gorgeous sunset. Mykonos is all about the beach. We had a fabulous day diving, snorkeling and cruising the beaches with GoDive Mykonos diving center from Liasti Mykonos thanks to Kostas and Antonis. The water is crisp!! I wore a 5 ml wetsuit and was still cold. Then on to Super Paradise Beach Club, Mykonos, Greece where the beautiful people gather for fun. We got a perfect table and the food and cocktails and staff were delicious. The best part of the day was our wonderful driver Giorgos Pios who made sure we got from place to place without any stress. The highlight of Kusadasi Turkey is Ephesus. Thanks again to my partner Charles Takis Stathoulis with Charlie The Traveler for hooking us up with a fabulous guide today Erşan Havva Aygül. He made our day perfect. After a morning at Ephesus, we filled ourselves with Tasty Turkish Delights at Ege Lokum, a quick look at Rossini Leather and a pottery demonstration at Firca Quartz & Ceramics before our Turkish Bath Experience at Selcuk Hamam. We had no idea what we were in for, being scrubbed like a baby. Athens was a perfect day with our fabulous driver Dimitris Yioutsos from Greece Tours and Athens Taxi Driver, again thanks to my partner Charles Takis Stathoulis with Charlie The Traveler for another great day. The new Acropolis Museum - Μουσείο Ακρόπολης and Acropolis - Ακρόπολη is fabulous and the very best part was the amazing authentic delicious Greek lunch at Κυρ Αρίστος, Kir Aristos. A fabulous day at the Port of Naples thanks to our drivers Johnny and Alex with my fantastic partners at Romeinlimo. We started our day with a drive to the Amalfi Coast where we had a pizza making class in Sorrento at Il Leone Rosso. Then our beautiful guide Rosemary Mele took us through the fascinating ruins of Pompeii. Lastly another great day with my fantastic partners at Romeinlimo with our drivers Francesco and Marco in Rome. After disembarking the Odyssey in Civitavecchia my family split up. Sky and Neldi went on to their graduation celebration trip and half of us did a Rome highlights tour while those of us who have seen it all before did a hidden Rome tour with the Catacombs, Aquaduct, Baths, Keyhole and The Mouth of Truth from Roman Holiday plus a delicious lunch at Trattoria da Luigi.
