Hi! Ive asked a little bit about this on our meets thread but thought I would ask here for a larger audience/more feedback.
I am looking for some opinions on the various port adventures to Rome that Disney offers.
We are going to do most of the ports on our own, but Rome seems to overwhelm me with the number of sights to see/distance from the port/and worries of traffic, lines and crowds.
I was looking at the Jumping Back to Eternal Rome excursion because it seems to hit all of the big sites (Coliseum and St Peters Basilica are basically our two must-sees) and I really like that it takes the train to get to Rome rather than a tour bus.
However, I was noticing that several other excursions offer a similar (but not quite as extensive) line up of sights and it isnt super clear how long or indepth some of the stops are at various sites.
A big consideration is our very active son he will be 4 next summer. We are looking for an excursion where we can enjoy Rome together and not spend too much time lingering in museums or such where, Im guessing; my husband and I would be pulling our hair out trying to keep him contained.
Also hoping that the Disney excursions will have some of the Disney *magic* to help make a rather long, not really child friendly day into a fun day for everyone.
So I guess I am looking for opinions on the Jumping Back excursion as well as other good excursion options. Since this is our first Disney cruise, I know others will be able to book the port adventures before we can, so definitely thinking I should have my #2 and maybe #3 options picked out.
Thanks for your help!
