@tidefan Did you port in Sicily? If so, what tour did you do and did you like it? If not, where did you port instead?

@brentm77 , no, we did not dock in Sicily. We did go through the Straights of Messina both ways, though…

@brentm77 and @tidefan Thank you for the info. We are doing a similar cruise on Celebrity in July 2023 (11 night Italy, Turkey, Greece). It doesn't have as many Greek stops as the Disney one, but it's on their newest ship, which I have been wanting to try. Gives me an excuse to do another Greek cruise though This info is very helpful for ours.

I hear Turkey is fantastic. I hope you have a great trip!

I hear Turkey is fantastic. What did you think?

We haven't been yet. This is for next summer. I am looking forward to Turkey though. I've always wanted to see Hagia Sophia. Sophia and Sonia are used interchangeably as "saints" in different religions. We overnight in Istanbul and also stop in Ephesus.

Thanks for starting this thread. I guess it does make sense to book an excursion for that one day. I think I can handle that. I really appreciate all the advice and the wonderful photos!

My first strip on the Magic was the Norway/Iceland/Scotland cruise and it was magical. I think it's my favorite ship, but sadly it's not sailing in Europe in 2023 so we booked the Dream. I really prefer the smaller ships.

You are welcome! Have a great trip! We are doing Regal Princess 12 night British Isles next year. Looking forward to that!

The Cyclades islands in Greece are just magical. Some of my favourite places on earth!
