Oceania Insignia May 31, 2009/Carnival Splendor March 31, 20

SO excited and cannot hardly wait! My husband is self-employed (mobile mechanic) and he says he is having to "flog" himself to get his work done! It is sugarbeet harvest here in Wyoming so he is keeping a bunch of older-than-the-hills trucks running for the farmers for one more year (some of these trucks are 4 trucks taken apart and put together to make one truck!) I got a new digital camcorder and have been practicing up! We have been to Europe before but never for this length of time. Unfortunately, the dollar is so bad it's taking a beating. Travel sites are warning about exchanging your dollars for Euros and no place in Rome will take dollars anymore. It is VERY expensive using taxis or shuttles. The train is fairly cheap but when you have a lot of luggage it is not very convenient (lots of bums and panhandlers too.) Train is safe and fast but not for everyone. I got an email yesterday that there are still unsold rooms on a 12 day coming from Barcelona to Florida and an interior room was 399.00! It was around Thanksgiving but I think you missed the big travel rush dates. Vacationstogo.com always has last minute unsold cruises. Mary

My husband and I are going on the Splendor for 5 days to Mexico the end of March. Our 3 grown children are going with us (their Xmas present). Has anyone been on this cruise before?
We’re also going on Oceania the end of May from Rome to Istanbul. I’d prefer to do private shore excursions. If anyone has any info, I’d really appreciate it. Our ports will be:
Rome, Monte Carlo, Florence/Pisa, Olbia/Porto Cervo, Amalfi/Positano, Athens, Delos, Mykonos, Santorini, Rhodes, Kusadasi, Istanbul. Also, if you know of some of these ports where it would be easy to just go off on our own, I’d appeciate knowing that, as well.

I don’t have any tips seeing as I haven’t had the amazing opportunity to go on a Oceania Cruise yet. You are so lucky to go on 2 cruises! !!!!
