We were good till we hit Naples, I think we hit a wall. We also did 4 days in Rome before the cruise and by day 13 ( Naples ), we were spent. We did a private Amalfi Coast tour and it was just sooooo packed (couldn't even enjoy it) we ended the tour about 2 hours early and went back to the Ship and took naps and packed up. Exhaustion set in.. 💤

Nice AFT cabin!! Love them!
-
Ninja - first - great pic!! We stayed right next to the Pantheon. I can't believe the crowds are still there. Travel to Europe has really exploded this year. Here's a view from our room and the rooftop bar.

Very cheap lemoncello at the airport when you go home Not fancy bottles, but cheap - full bottle $15.
-
Wow - the trip looks fantastic so far. Enjoy every minute!!
-
Also sooo important if you have connecting flights. You need to get thru customs first and then make your connection.
-
If you can, get Global Entry. It's great when getting back to the states and you bypass the longggg Customs Line.

Ninja - sorry I don't, but we got some Ouzo, some Rum Punches and Espresso and food of course. It was good and not expensive.

I tipped my room steward US dollars. I said - I'm sorry but I ran out of Euros and he said - no, I prefer US Dollars. I didn't ask why, I was just happy he was happy ☺️

Katakolon (Olympia) cruise port has a great waterfront https://www.katakolon.org/ We had lunch and drinks there after our visit to Olympia.

Ninja - walk around the port in Turkey - the port area has some statues which are very cool especially the Hand of Peace. https://fineartamerica.com/featured/hand-of-peace-sculpture-in-kusadasi-turkey-ken-biggs.html

We didn’t have any. Walked right up and saw a couple tables open and just sat at one. They came right over with menus.
-
Ninja - we ate at Raya Restaurant in Mykonos. Really was excellent. https://rayamykonos.com/ We got the Palette of Spreads. Grilled Octopus and Shrimp Tempura with a side of French Fries. And there is outdoor dining overlooking the sea.
-
Ninja - we had two restaurants that did not take credit cards and nothing was listed so always ask prior to ordering. Luckily we always had euros with us.

Hi Ninja - can't wait to follow your cruise. I assume you are platinum. We utilized the free wash and fold service. If you are both platinum, that's 6 free bags of laundry. Was really a life-saver on our trip.

Ninja. I asked the girl that went down early. This is what she texted me back “There were several people down there at 5:15-5:30am but started getting to the point we have to line up because there was so many people around 5:45-6:00.”
-
There are many announcements about putting your time back an hour and gaining an hour on the way back
-
I’m going to say 8:30 or so. They were running two tender boats so it went fast
-
In Europe they adjust to local time - much easier for everyone
-
Yup. When we came downstairs to go to the Taj Mahal for our carnival excursion - there was an enormous line. It literally went a mile winding around the ship. I know the person 2nd in line. She was there at 5:45 and got the first tender for people NOT on excursions with carnival
