Okay, I made it through!
We are a family of 7. Myself, Nicole, DH Jay, DS, Andrew(21), DD Sarah (19), DS Casey (18), DD Emily (15) and DD Jessica (8). We are in room 8650 and booked on day 1!
We are in the midst of planning frenzy for the June 27th, 2013 Med. So excited to do that one! This cruise is the main reason we switch to the 12 night Med with Venice for this summer, as this itinerary is PERFECT for us for next summer! We were originally on the 12 night with Greece and Turkey, so this worked out just right! So excited!!
We have Taken trains and cruised ALL over Europe. 2010 we started in Munich, went to Switzerland, Paris and London, then did the Baltic cruise up through Scandanavia to St. Petersburg. Did the B2B so back to Dover and then around Portugal/Spain etc to Barcelona. We stayed the the Hilton Diagonal in BCN for a night. Great location by the beach, but you don't get any of the bustling feel of Barcelona...or we were just too exhausted after a month of travel all over Europe and didn't notice anything, lol!
So this summer we are continuing around Europe from Barcelona to Italy etc, then next summer a continuation from Venice around Greece/Turkey and back to Barcelona! SOOOOO excited!!!
So, I will fill you in on what we discover in Venice and hopefully can give you some good tips! I am most excited about the Venice stop and seeing Barcelona in a non hazy state of mind! LOL!
Oh, and both my sons and I have been to Austria as well! It is BEAUTIFUL!!!! I love Germany/Switzerland and Austria, my favorite countries in Europe (so far)!
