We are getting ready for our first Med Cruise end of May 2020.  Leaving out of Tennessee.  I  can pretty much get a layover anywhere.  What have been your favorite airlines to fly into FCO with?  Also trying to figure out if we want to spend our 4 days BEFORE cruise departure or 4 days AFTER 9 days Med cruise.  Just looking to see what others experiences were like.

I'd pick the Med over Hawaii any day. I've done 9 Med cruises, all in "shoulder seasons" (April/May or Oct/Nov). The best weather (glassy seas, decent temperatures) was on an April cruise that started in Athens on Orthodox Easter (a unique experience) and did the Eastern Med -- Greece, Croatia, Turkey.

 

The Med is mostly about seeing wonderful places, which I'd think would be an absolutely memorable and broadening experience for a 12-year old. My parents took me to Italy when I was about that age and I have never recovered (lol)...

 

How many sea days does your Med cruise have?  On port days, you'll want to be off the ship most of the day...

I  would love to get some input on your Med cruises!  We are getting ready for our first one end of May 2020!!
