We are celebrating a very special anniversary in October of 2025. I'm hopeful someone can help with recommendations. My parameters:
Mediterranean Cruise - Ports in Greece, Turkey, Croatia, Montenegro, Sicily, France, and Spain of especial interest
Cruise Start Date between September and November 2025
Room must be reasonably large with decent bathroom size, prefer at least 250 square feet, can be smaller if bathroom is generous
Ideally include at least some drinks, wifi, thermal spa, and special restaurant if on a larger ship
At least 8 day cruise, prefer 10 or more
Prefer a cruise heavy with port days
Would like to keep the price around $14,000-$17,000 just for the cruise specifically
I've been looking at a Magic Carpet Sky Suite on Celebrity Ascent, a Concierge Level Veranda on Oceania Marina, a Club Spa Suite on Azamara Onward, and several options on Windstar ships. I haven't been on any of these before so I'm uncertain how to choose. Hopeful some of you will weigh in with suggestions and helpful comparisons.
