I'm kind of wondering if there are any areas of the city to avoid. Being born and raised in Chicago (now living in Arizona) we knew the areas that had high crime rates and some areas NEVER to venture into, especially at night. We plan on spending 2 nights in Rome and visiting major tourist areas. Bought myself and husband theft resistant bags (mainly because they are great to carry a few things hands-free.) Just planning on using our street smarts and common sense that we learned growing up in a big city.

Thanks all. Just seeing responses now. Guess I didn't follow myself🤷‍♀️

I picked march and the countdown has begun. I didn't want to be all hot and sweaty while touring and i dislike crowds for vacation. I will layer up and hope for the best.  Thanks for all your input!!

We are also cruising the Med in March. I'm with you. I'd rather have to layer up then to be all sweaty.

Looking to stay one night at Mario de Fiori 37. Any thoughts?

Thank you!

New to Princess. I don't drink alcohol but my husband does. Can I get the Soda Package and he get the Alcohol Package? Or do we both need to get the Alcohol Package?

Hubby and I each have Prime Cert. Can we book 2 cabins on same cruise?

The early morning sessions are the shortest lines in my experience.

With the soda package water is available at all the freestyle machines and is just as good as that Ice River bottled water they sell at the bar. Freestyle machines are located in the promende and the windjammer so they are convenient to wherever you might be. Also, if you really want bottled water one way you can economize is to bring water onboard with you. I'm sure someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I think that you can bring up to 24 bottles onboard.  

Do you need to use the special plastic cup Royal gives you or do other cups work?

Thank you so much. Things I did not know or consider. I’ll be looking at different hotel in a better location. Any suggestions?

Anyone have feedback on Pinnacle Hotel at the Pier? We're booked for 1 night pre-cruise but can cancel.

Thank you. That helps.

Alaska on the Ovation

If we decide that we'd like to eat 3 nights at specialty restaurants is it worth getting a Dining Package? Does the cost of the package cover most of your meal?

Thanks everyone. Booked the Residence Inn by Marriott downtown.

Looking for hotel suggestions in Vancouver. Something downtown and reasonably priced.
