Rare CruzerDeb Posted September 1 Author #54 Share Posted September 1 (edited) Cruise Day one - Civitavecchia, cont We had dinner reservations at Horizons, deck 6, private table for two at 7:30. Checked in and were seated immediately. Very attentive servers, and the food was delicious. Chicken, Ham, Parmesan Croquette for appetizer, Roasted Chicken for main, Love Boat Dream for dessert. We have an early excursion in Naples tomorrow, so just went back to our cabin. Can’t believe we didn’t go to a show or a bar. We might be getting old, but 5:00a wake-up comes quickly. Next up - Naples! Edited September 1 by CruzerDeb 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare CruzerDeb Posted September 2 Author #59 Share Posted September 2 Cruise Day Two - Naples Today we took a Princess tour - an 8-hour adventure that include a drive to Salerno where we boarded a boat to Amalfi, free time to explore on our own, return boat ride, then drive to Pompeii, where we had lunch and then toured the ruins.

Rare CruzerDeb Posted September 2 Author #61 Share Posted September 2 Cruise Day Two - Naples, cont We had specialty dining reservations at Crown Grill; the only time I could get was 5:50 and I’m not sure why that was because only one other table was seated when we arrived and by the time we left it was only half full. I had the filet mignon, baked potato and salted caramel crème brûlée cheesecake. All were excellent. We then saw a show in the Princess Arena with Charley Blue, a singer violinist, which we enjoyed. Journeyed on to the Piazza for great music and dancing with Mockingbird. Cruise Director Corrine and her assistant were there dancing the night away. I didn’t take any photos of the Arena or Piazza. (The potato looked better before I smashed it down …) A Bellini from Bellini’s 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare h20skibum Posted September 2 #62 Share Posted September 2 I think touring Pompeii was one of our favorites, although the tour we did combined a hike up Mt. Vesuvius then Pompeii. Your photos brought back many memories of that place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance you are doing Spellbound? I am interested in anyone’s experience with it. Do a search on here.

crusdiva Posted September 3 #70 Share Posted September 3 Wow! With nearly 15,000 passengers in port today that’s going to be quite a process. But Santorini is so worth the wait. Enjoy your day! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dides Posted September 3 #71 Share Posted September 3 Great photos - thanks for posting! Someone on another site posted the dining venues patter for today and Catch and Butchers Block were marked as closed - the poster's reservations had been moved to a later day in the cruise. Seems very unusual - interested to know if you have seen anything going on in the Deck 9 aft area? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look forward to hearing how this worked out for you, especially considering you were on a Princess excursion. Did that fact help in any way?

Rare CruzerDeb Posted September 4 Author #74 Share Posted September 4 Cruise Day Four - Santorini We meet in the Arena for our excursion and, not surprising, everything was very well organized. We walked with our group to the tender and were taken to Oia, where we boarded the coach for our tour. We had no issues. Traveled into Oia, and got off the coach with guide and she took us to a square, providing info on sights to see and then we’re were giving free time to explore on our own. Such a beautiful place! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CruzerDeb Posted September 4 Author #75 Share Posted September 4 Cruise Day Four - Santorini, cont We stopped for a wine tasting and snack between Oia and Fira. We sampled 3 wines and I thought they were all great! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
