  • Rome!

    May 12, 2024 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    Today was an incredible day at our next port/city: Rome, Italy!

    We started our morning at Piazza del Popolo, then walked to The Vatican City where we got to go in St. Peter’s Basilica during a mass, and got to attend Pope Francis’ blessing in St. Peter’s Square which was incredible!!

    Then we stopped for a delicious italian lunch before walking through the city to the main sightseeing spots: Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Colosseum, and Spanish Steps. We got some incredible tiramisu along the way. Once back on the cruise ship, we got to see a show from a West End performer which was great.

  • Capri!

    May 13, 2024 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    Today we had the most amazing day in Capri, Italy! We docked in Sorrento and took a scenic boat ride over to the island of Capri where we met our amazing tour guide Fabio.

    We then made our way up the mountain to a chair lift ride that had the most incredible views i’ve ever seen!! Had some cappuccinos at the top of the mountain too :)

    Then Fabio took us all to lunch at a local restaurant where we had the most amazing Caprese, Seafood, Pasta, and Limoncello Spritz’s while overlooking the water.

    We then got to shop and walk around Capri for a bit, as well as getting a limincello slushie, before boating back to Sorrento. Once back on the ship, we had dinner, went to the ship casino, and played late night putt putt on the pool deck!

  • Palermo (Sicily)

    May 14, 2024 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    Arrived at our next port/city, Palermo, Sicily, Italy! Again had such incredible weather, we have been so so lucky.

    Our excursion today was called “Mysterious Palermo”. All 7 of us went on the excursion so we had a good time!! We got to walk through an ancient arabic-style palace (Castello della Zisa), then got to go down to the Capuchin Catacombs which is the largest collection of mummies in the world.

    Next we stopped for a quick snack, then headed to “new town” where we got to tour a beautiful arabic-inspired church, see the “The Fountain of Shame”, and see the intersection known as Theater of the Sun (Teatro del Sole), where the four ancient quarters of Palermo meet and the sun lights up each corner like a spotlight as the day goes on.

    Since this was a morning excursion, we got the rest of the afternoon to sun bathe on the pool deck (overlooking the city and mountains) and play some family pickleball!! Also had a great asian meal for dinner on the ship :)

    No big update from today, as we are cruising all day from Italy to Greece :) It was nice to have a day with no excursions where we could just enjoy being on the boat! We sat by the pool, played tennis, got lots of food/drinks, stopped by the evening musical show, etc.Read more

    Today we arrived in our next port city: Corfu, Greece! We met our amazing tour guide Irene and started with a walk through the city around the old fortress. We learned about the history/culture of Corfu, and about the easter tradition of clay pot-smashing to honor the resurrection of Jesus (see all the broken red clay pieces on the ground).

    Then we got to have a lunch of traditional greek foods/wine at the sailing club next to the ionian sea!! Everything was delicious and it was a gorgeous view.

    Then we got free time to walk around Corfu and explore the shops. We met some lovely shop owners, got some jewelry and souvenirs, and had delicious wild strawberry ice cream that is only made on the island of Corfu, and only made for 2 months of the year :) It was amazing and we were lucky to be here at the right time to try it!
