Choose the cruise because it left from Venice and the ports were great. We wanted to see Croatia and Greece. We came to Venice two days early and loved the experience.
We finally made Diamond with Royal Caribbean and thoroughly enjoyed the diamond club. Wonderful to have latte there for breakfast, and enjoyed the happy hour as well. Enjoyed talking with other frequent cruisers.
I was hesitant to partake of some of the excursions due to the warning about folks with walking problems. I have a problem with my knee, but was able to manage fine.
Do not book this room unless you are hard of hearing. Room was great from a layout perspective. However it was NOISY. People running from the elevator to windjammer and the pool, chair dragging. Went on during the day and night! Needed earplugs to sleep it was so loud.
