Savannah Jack--best band ever over 35 years of cruising.

We recently used Stefano's Rome Cabs for our transfers from Rome airport to our cruise port hotel and from the cruise port to our hotel at the airport, and the service was fabulous. The drivers were waiting for us with signs both times, were friendly and very safe drivers, and went above and beyond handling our luggage, helping us to the car and bringing it all inside the hotels both times, and believe me, we do not travel lightly! I would not hesitate to recommend Rome Cabs to anyone traveling to Italy. They're great!

I will look for your review today. Looking forward to reading another solo's perspective. I am sailing on the Silver Muse 13 night caribbean from Fort Lauderdale to San Juan on March 22nd. I'm looking forward to it, but a little nervous as well. I think it will be very different from what I'm used to, but that may be a good thing. Thanks for sharing your experience!

So glad to hear you enjoyed Silversea. I'm trying my first Silversea solo in March and hoping for the same. I usually cruise on Royal Caribbean, but decided it's time for a change. Fingers crossed for some friendly passengers.

We just returned from a a fabulous Mediterranean cruise and were fortunate enough to have had private tours in Livorno, Salerno, and Rome provided by RomeinLimo. All of our drivers were terrific, especially David in Livorno. Our Vatican guide Massimo is a real character, zipping us past the crowds and explaining everything. We would have been lost without him. The restaurants we were taken to for lunch were reasonably priced and very good. Pizza in Italy is a must! With RomeinLimo we were able to experience all of the highlights of our port stops in a limited period of time. Jany handled all the arrangements with utmost efficiency, answering all of my emails and questions right away. I also highly recommend RomeinLimo to anyone traveling to Italy.

Safe travels. See you in a couple of weeks!

Thanks. Actually more concerned about delays on departure since we are arriving 2 days early, but have to get home to go back to work. Hope there's no security backup. Have fun!!

March 22nd, 13 day caribbean on the Silver Muse from Fort Lauderdale to San Juan. Very excited since there are some new ports for me. Hope you have a wonderful and safe trip and please let us know the Barcelona airport situation. I will be heading there in 3 weeks with my sister so am very interested.

Hope you have a wonderful time on your adventure. I am very much looking forward to hearing about your experience since I have just booked my first SS solo for next March. Bon Voyage!

Cleopatra - I am also a widow and will be on the August 29th sailing of the Brilliance, which appears to be the second leg of your b2b. My sister is joining me on this trip, and we are in about the same age group as you, I am a little older and my sister is a little younger. So no worries--you will have company. See you on board!

My sister and I have also booked the Jewel for September 9th. Have always wanted to visit the Greek Isles, so we are very excited as well.

Thank you!

Any pictures of the Anthem GS? They seem to be very few and far between and was just curious to see what they look like. Thanks.

I lost my husband suddenly on the very day we were supposed to leave on a cruise a year and a half ago. We had no insurance, but Royal immediately refunded the full amount of our cruise fares. Needless to say, Royal has earned my continued loyalty for their compassion at a time I needed it most.

Does anyone know if premium coffees include the frozen coffee drinks?

Another rave review for Carambola Beach Club. We are just back from a b2b on the Jewel and went there twice! This is one of the best places we have been to on any caribbean island. I was fortunate enough to spend my birthday there and was treated like royalty--including a wonderful birthday cake. The staff is amazing and so friendly and welcoming. This is the perfect place for a relaxing beach day, and I recommend it highly. Can't wait to go back!
