Sail Date: Jun 2019
Cabin: Concierge Class Stateroom with Veranda

My husband and I were looking for a European adventure that we could do with his sister and her significant other and flying to a bunch of countries or traveling by train was just not feasible, due to time constraints and expenses. We found this particular cruise, and itinerary, and it seemed like a no-brainer. We wanted to sail on the Edge and we wanted to do a Mediterranean cruise and this filled both of those. Perfect.

We flew in the night before, staying at a little boutique hotel in the center of Rome, and spent that evening walking through the streets and getting pizza (stereotypical but face it - the pizza in Italy is amazing). The next morning we did a tour of the Vatican, which is something I think everyone should do. I'm not religious and I found it to be simply amazing. It included visits to the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica.

After the tour, we took a taxi from Rome to Civitavecchia. It's about an hour away but the drive isn't bad.

Concierge Class Stateroom with Veranda

Cabin C2

Wonderfully spacious. The location was very good - close to the elevators without being too noisy due to hallway traffic. The infinite veranda is an amazing thing. Love being able to raise the blinds without having to open the window and get a full view of the ocean.

Rome (Civitavecchia)

Absolutely amazing experience! Even if you're not religious, it's worth it to visit the Vatican.

Naples

Very strenuous hike up to the summit of the volcano but it's worth the climb.

Naples

Good tour, covered major parts of the ruins.

Florence (Livorno)

Great tour guide, she gave us lots of information about everything we were seeing.

Florence (Livorno)

The Piazza dei Miracoli is really only the 4 things you see - the bapistry, the duomo, the tower, and the cemetary. No need to an extended period of time here but amazing to see.

Monaco (Monte Carlo)

An hour-long bus tour but it covers all of the major stops.

Cannes

It was too short and our tour guide seemed very uninterested

Palma de Mallorca (Majorca)

Long wait time that cut into the amount of time you had inside the caves.
