mtmomof3 #53 Posted October 16 Loving your review! We are on the same itinerary in June and still deciding on some excursions so excited to see what you chose to do in the Greek ports. Would you recommend Brassai? We have a VRBO booked just steps from the footbridge to the castle for a few days pre cruise. Hadn't really considered touring the castle since it's our first visit to Rome but now might consider spending a little time in the morning before heading to Civvi. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BNBR #54 Posted October 16 Sorry, I didn't read through this entire post. But I do have a question. Did you purchase The Key or have you noticed it at all on your trip? We are doing a similar itinerary on Jewel and wondering if the priority disembark and tenders would have a lot of value on an itinerary like this. Your thoughts? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We are doing a similar itinerary on Jewel and wondering if the priority disembark and tenders would have a lot of value on an itinerary like this. Your thoughts? hi, we did not purchase the key. We were actually able to get off and on the ship very easily at all ports and I definitely think it would have been a lot of waste for us. 8 hours ago, perfect match said: Castle pics are beautiful! 😀 thank you! more to come. 3 hours ago, Mitchie872 said: Loving the review.

singinalot #59 Posted October 16 the castle continued:We were initially going to walk over to the Vatican just to explore, but after seeing how busy it looked we decided to pass. Found out later the pope gave mass that day and that’s why.We continued on toward our next destination...another site we did not visit last yearNorris (Bimmer09) has mentioned this coffee shop and I had looked around for it last year but we stumbled upon it accidentally this trip as we continued walking Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
