Atlas12 Posted March 19, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 19, 2018 We're stuck. Western Med on the Riviera or Eastern Med on Sirena? This August or September. Anyone been on both? Either? Thanks in advance for your input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted March 19, 2018 #2 Share Posted March 19, 2018 If you are used to larger ships then I would go with the Riviera If you choose Sirena you may want to book a PH or above the A -G cabins have very small W/C Unless of course you like the R ships as we do JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruise Junky Posted March 19, 2018 #3 Share Posted March 19, 2018 September over August any day of the week. What are the dates so we can check itineraries for pluses or minuses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pinotlover Posted March 19, 2018 #4 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I would always choose an O over a R, but wouldn’t do the Med in August. It’s to hot and to crowded for my taste! Late September or October on an O is Premium. I did it on the Marina late last October, terrific cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wripro Posted March 19, 2018 #5 Share Posted March 19, 2018 The Eastern Med in August will be hot and unpleasant no matter what ship you are on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas12 Posted March 19, 2018 Author #6 Share Posted March 19, 2018 You guys are great. It's August 19 on the Sirena or September 24 on Riviera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruise Junky Posted March 19, 2018 #7 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I prefer Sirena's itinerary but August in Greece and Israel..HOT HOT HOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare travelberlin Posted March 19, 2018 #8 Share Posted March 19, 2018 You guys are great. It's August 19 on the Sirena or September 24 on Riviera. Because of the weather in the Mediterranean (too hot in August), I would choose September 24th on Rivera. Ivi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaiidan Posted March 19, 2018 #9 Share Posted March 19, 2018 You guys are great. It's August 19 on the Sirena or September 24 on Riviera. Without Question Riviera Sept 24, October 24 would be even better The eastern med is MUCH HOTTER and more risky in terms of safety in my book...

Carol From California Posted March 20, 2018 #12 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Thanks everyone. Just booked the Riviera for 9/24. You made the right decision! You can do the other itinerary next time. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted March 20, 2018 #13 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Wise decision. That is a perfect time to sail the Med. It is less crowded in some ports and far less hot and humid. My favorite months are late September and April and May. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
