My family of four...2 forty somethings and 2 teen boys took the Mediterranean Treasures cruise that embarked on May 31.

We arrived in London Gatwick 3 days early so that we could tour London. We stayed at a Best Western hotel near Victoria Station. Nice clean economical hotel in a good location. London is very expensive for Americans right now. We covered a lot of London using hop on hop off bus and tube and lots of walking. Wonderful place! We hired a private driver to Southampton who was late. I think we were nearly the last ones on the ship!

Check in: Smooth and fast. We were the only ones checking at at 3:45! Cabin: For the first time ever we got an inside cabin. Previously we have had balconies, and outside (pothole) rooms. We loved it! I may never go back. We liked how dark and quiet the room was. I was afraid I would wake up disoriented or claustrophobic with no light but this was not the case. Our 7th floor aft location was very good...easy access to dining rooms.
