hmmmmmm to cruise or not to cruiseee

we are doing a cruise

Itinerary:
Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy , Sicily (Messina), Italy , At Sea , Athens (Piraeus), Greece , Ephesus (Kusadasi), Turkey , Rhodes, Greece , Mykonos, Greece , Santorini, Greece , Naples/capri, Italy

its on the celebrity Equinox

I was actually going to post a question about which room/package we should get

I like the idea of a cruise better, I feel like ill get to see a lot of places and wont have to worry about getting to and from all of the different locations.
You can also extend your trip and add days to the beginning or the end (which is what we are doing )

We did a Med Cruise on Royal Caribbean last year for vacation.

We left out of Venice and visited:

Kusadasi (Ephesus),
Santorini,
Croasia,
Dubrovnik,
Corfu

We had an amazing time. Before we left from Venice, we traveled by train through Italy starting in Rome, then Florence, Lucca and finally Venice.
While in Rome we had a tour guide that took us from site to site. We were able to see alot more by having the guide than we would have seen if we did the tour on our own., I know they do pick up from the port in Rome as a start for a tour.

I have information on different ports if you would like to receive them.

We had the most amazing travel agent that helped plan our trip. If you want her number, let me know. She kepy an eye on specials for airfare and even contacted us when the price of the cruise dropped.

definitely cruise!!! why would you want to carry your luggage around throughout europe?! have you ever wheeled a 50+ lb suitcase over cobblestone streets in barcelona!?! i have and it S U C K E D!

also, if you're trying to fly cheap throughout europe, Ryan Air flights limit your luggage to 30 or 40 lbs i think so that means pack light!

HTH!
