Any Med Reviews Out There?

[3dogmom]

I haven't seen any reviews for a while, maybe I'm too early in the Summer yet?

I'll be on the Brilliance 7/05 and would love to hear what everyone did in their Med ports. If they are on another board, let me know...Thanks!

Check the Cruise@ddicts board under reviews. There is a new one on the Brillance and the Med by Tom and Mary Finelli.

If you do some searching around the Europe board (and the review section too), you should find a number of reviews, some from last year, but still probably very helpful. I've attached a link to my Princess Med cruise from May last year. Although it is Princess, it probably overlaps some of your ports.

Bob7,
What dates were you on the Sunbird. We did the same itenery as you on and were on August 23. What did you think of the Sunbird?. Unfortunately I cannot seem to link to your review. We really enjoyed ourselves on the Sunbird. It was our second cruise with them, the previous year we did the alternative route.

Thanks so much!

Lephysteria just posted a 25+ page review on the CC Princess board under "Our Star Princess Honeymoon Review". We were on the same trip. Anything you do will be fantastic!

Hope it helps!!!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Well, if it isn't you, someone is posting noting your email address and stealing a review (different from the link here) from someone on the CC Princess board. This review has been posted all over the internet linked to your email address. You are probably going to be contacted by some of the managers of these boards regarding this.

Mike and Carol,

Next summer, my husband and I will be taking the British Isles/Norwegian Fjords cruise on the Millenium. I enjoyed your Med review so much that I can't wait to read your next review. I am sure it will be just as wonderfully informative as the last!

Mike and Carol,
Thank you for such a great review. We will be on the Brilliance 7/1, and your review is so informative. The pictures were great! Thank you. Laura

[3dogmom]

Thanks everyone for your replies.

Mike & Carol, I've read and re-read your reviews, booked private guides based on your reviews and even switched to your TA based on your recommendation! You've become so familiar to me, that I talk about you like we've known each other for years!

I'll be on the BOS 7/11/05 Cruise. My ports are Barcelona, Villefranche (Nice),France Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Naples, Venice, Dubrovnik, Corfu, Greece & Rome. I have Marcello, Sylvie & Danielle (both Livorno & Rome) already booked.

What about shopping? What did you buy? How expensive is that Murano glass? What restaurants would you recommend in each port? I like to eat while in port and not go back to the ship.

Thanks again!
