“I recommend a 14 day cruise from Barcelona and visit many countries as far as Greece and Turkey.”
My sis & BIL are on a 50-day, round-trip from/to Ft. Lauderdale. They pulled out of Barcelona a few days ago, just a few hours ahead of the political protests there.
Cruise cancelled a port in Italy this week — Naples, I think — but no reason was given. Now they’re in Greece and are a bit worried about Turkey.
Hubby doesn’t want to go longer than two weeks. I won’t go shorter than two weeks. (Stalemate?) It’s just not worth it to me, considering all the pre-planning that goes in to it — and I’m the guy who does it all. And we are resisting flying.
Had a great 16-day round trip between Los Angeles and Hawaii. Panama canal was good, too. Also 16 days.
You can probably control amount of food to eat. I can’t resist the 4 desserts offered with dinner. I remember ordering all 4 when I was younger 😂 But I can see your point about all the prep necessary to go on a cruise.
I am 90 minutes drive from home to port Canaveral, so will book a last minute bargain cruise as short as 4 days round trip. It’s just me getting a break from chores and cooking.
Princess just announced a 129 day Grand Tour World Cruise leaving from Sydney in 2029.
Grab the new Qantas nonstop from JFK (get the first class suite) and enjoy!
