Embarkation: We travelled up to Southampton the night before & stayed in the Highfield House Hotel, a basic but, pleasant place for an overnight stop. On arrival at the docks we dropped our luggage, drove to the short stay car park where we were met by Edward from Looking4Parking (booked through Cruise Co.uk): he took the keys & we set off for the very short walk to the check in desks. After a ...

We were on the Grand last year in 2010 on a Med cruise, and again on this post dry dock trip. This cruise was different in that the majority of the fellow passengers were much older clientele and many had mbility issues. It was end of June, so not all schools were closed here in the UK. This did not affect us, but was disappointing for out 18 and 17 year old boys, as there were very few of ...

Although we booked this cruise very late, we had an aft balcony cabin on the Baha deck, and loved the location - across from the laundry and after the last set of elevators. We enjoyed mostly beautiful weather, mostly calm seas, and wonderful blue skies. We did miss one port - Katakalon (for Olympia, Greece) because of thunderstorms and large waves. But, in a port-intensive cruise as this, ...

Our arrival into Rome was flawless and our B&B had arranged transportation from the airport. As we exited the baggage area the driver was there waiting and our trip was uneventful except for the Rome traffic. The B&B we chose was located close to the Vatican and our hostess met us at the door and helped us get settled. Our accommodations were excellent but small. Breakfast was served daily in ...

I will begin with a warning: I am very detail oriented, and so is this review. If you are looking for a quick glance, keep looking. This review is LONG, really LONG. I have dreamed of visiting Greece and Italy for as long as I can remember. This year, my husband gave me this trip as a very special birthday present. Unfortunately, as we booked the trip, a work conflict prevented his accompanying ...
