Last week I saw an ad in the paper about a cruise from Miami that went all the way to Rome!! It is a 14 day cruise plus 4 days in Rome in a hotel and two tours of Rome. It also includes bus transportation from here to Miami, air fare back to Miami and bus back to here. The prices they were showing seemed quite good, so we made arrangements to go to the travel agency and talk to them about it today. It all came out as advertised and we have made the reservations. We got a Cabin on the 8th deck with a balcony and we are in the forward 1/4 of the ship. It is the Navigator of the Seas by Royal Caribbean.
We leave on April 10, cruise at sea for 7 days (I'll think I am back in the Navy!!) and then dock in Tenerife, Canary Islands on April 18 for the day. Two more days at sea before we arrive at Barcelona, Spain on April 21 (9AM - 5 PM). On the 22nd of April we spend 9 AM - 8 PM in Nice and get to see the Riviera and maybe Monaco. On the 23rd we arrive in Florence/Pisa (Livorno), Italy for the day (7 AM - 6 PM). We finally arrive in Rome (Civitaveccia) Italy on the 24th of April. It is about 35 miles from Rome.
We leave the ship there and are transported to the hotel getting 2 hour Rome Highlights Orientation tour en route. The next day we get "The Official Angels & Demons Path of Illumination 4 hour tour in Rome. I guess the Angels & Demons is the sequel to The Da Vinci Code. Now I am going to have to read it and or see the movie!!!
The next 2 days (April 26 & 27) we are on our own in Rome and I am sure we will arrange for a tour of some kind each day. We depart on the 28th and fly back to Miami to get the bus to here. Depending when the flight gets in we may decide to stay the night. Most flights arrive quite late at night. I am hoping it is not one of those that fly through the night!!
Sounds like the overall trip will be fun. Carol will be happy now that she has finally been to Italy
