cruise kitty Posted November 13, 2011 #56 Share Posted November 13, 2011 What a fantastic review! We were on the previous cruise, & in your cabin too! Kind of funny you had the exact same towel animal as us! I'm very impressed that you have your whole review & pictures already posted, I've been working on mine in bits & pieces.... Thanks for all the great pictures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisinManiac Posted November 14, 2011 #61 Share Posted November 14, 2011 (edited) Beautiful review and memories of our May 2011 Med. cruise on the Equinox. :) Could you tell me what the name of the Marriott hotel was where you stayed in Rome? Looks really nice. BTW - We flew Delta and did not have any trouble with our flight. Of course not many snow storms in TN in May. :D Edited November 14, 2011 by CruisinManiac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazygirl! Posted November 14, 2011 #62 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Congratulations and thank you so much for sharing your honeymoon! We are booked in Aqua/Blu for our Med cruise next spring, so I really enjoyed all of your food pics - I am excited with anticipation :) Sorry about all of your troubles with Delta, but I'm glad it didn't ruin your trip. Thanks again for such a fun review! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks really nice. BTW - We flew Delta and did not have any trouble with our flight. Of course not many snow storms in TN in May. :D It was the Marriott Grand Flora. For full disclosure, my Mom travels all the time and stays at Marriott hotels. So she booked us the hotel on points. She also is Platinum, so we got upgraded to an "executive king" room and we had free breakfast :) I'm Gold on Hilton, but didn't have enough points to cover our stay, so my Mom was generous enough to give us points! The biggest thing that bothered us about Delta was that when we checked in at Alitalia, they didn't have our reservation or seats for us...twice.

JFontaine Posted November 14, 2011 #64 Share Posted November 14, 2011 With what you went through getting to Rome I would have put the chances of your luggage arriving at the same time as zero. So I hope when you think about the start of your honeymoon you will remember that. You would have had no time to go shopping before the cruise and the ship's shopping is limited. Look at your good luck, and best wishes on your marriage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelKappie Posted November 14, 2011 #67 Share Posted November 14, 2011 More pictures around the Acropolis: The sightseeing part of the tour was on the bus that just went through Athens and pointed out some sights…just really around a block or two. This was the square where all the protests were taking place: There was an optional drop off at the Plaka for shopping, but we didn’t take it. We caught the sunset off the balcony that night: BEAUTIFUL Sunset picture! You should frame it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankinPA Posted November 14, 2011 #69 Share Posted November 14, 2011 (edited) Referencing your post #23, which white wine did he recommend to go with your steak? Edited November 14, 2011 by FrankinPA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kat228 Posted November 14, 2011 Author #70 Share Posted November 14, 2011 (edited) Referencing your post #23, which white wine did he recommend to go with your steak? So I remembered that it was one I had never heard of before and began with an m. So I googled wines that start with m and I *think* it was a mariensteiner. But don't quote me! I remember that it was the last one listed that was by the glass under whites in Murano ETA: I'm also remembering that it could have been a white burgundy. Sorry, I'm not much help!

Peanut216 Posted November 14, 2011 #72 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Hi Kelly (Kat228) Just been checking out your photos and review - they're great. I'm still going through all mine. As we didn't get a chance to meet at the party (as we both missed it), it was nice to put a face to the name ... and I think I may have seen you and Geoff around the Martini Bar area - it's where we whiled away a few hours most evenings (the Raspberry Lemonade Martinis are to die for). Wishing you both many long years of happy marriage. Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emcee207 Posted November 14, 2011 #73 Share Posted November 14, 2011 A great review and pictures. We've been in AQ twice on the Equinox and this Friday we'll be in AQ on the Sillhouette. Loved the pics of the food in Blu; thanks so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From other q&a I've posted and read, this is a common problem! P. S. Superb report.

Rare TLCOhio Posted November 14, 2011 #75 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Is there a technical problem in seeing the pictures? On my computer, there is a message from PhotoBucket saying that the bandwidth has been exceeded and that the pictures are not shown for that reason. Are others getting that message or is it just me? I use Photobucket and if you have a larger number of pictures being posted, you will need to upgrade to their paid service in order to use them. THANKS for the help! Look forward to seeing more. Enjoy! Terry in Ohio Recently back from a June 7-19 Solstice cruise from Barcelona that had stops in Villefranche, ports near Pisa and Rome, Naples, Kotor, Venice and Dubrovnik. Enjoyed great weather and a wonderful trip. Dozens of wonderful visuals with key highlights, tips, comments, etc., on these postings. We are now at 48,983 views for this live/blog re-cap on our first sailing with Celebrity and much on wonderful Barcelona.
