I’ll bring a little starter pack of TP just in case👍😁 Another thing I remember is why so many cars had knit/crochet toilet paper covers in the back window…those roadside restrooms, plus the other roadside restrooms that were a pullover with a bunch of trees and bushes….

DallasCruiseCouple Posted October 12, 2023 #127 Share Posted October 12, 2023 We have done that cruise and it will be chilly in a few places. I remember I wore boots and a scarf in Mykonos. It started off warm in Kusadasi but then turned overcast in Ephesus. I bought the most beautiful Burberry and LV look alike scarfs that I use every winter! They are pretty close to my authentic items too! 🙂 Naples...lots of graffiti and look out for your belongings. Don't forget to try the first ever pizza place there! Santorini is divine but places may close early due to the end of the season. You will need a vacation after this vacation. We did that cruise and then spent five days at a villa in Tuscany to relax!! Safe travels! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the joys of Venice is getting lost in the pre-medieval streets. You can never stay lost for long and there's always a drink and/or bite to be found. That’s what I’m hoping for, finding little spots❣️ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiseHealing Posted October 13, 2023 #137 Share Posted October 13, 2023 14 hours ago, ninjacat123 said: Got a question for you Europe cruisers...I usually tip out at the bar on my Sign and Sail card, but when I tip out on top of my prepaid gratuities to my wait staff and room stewarts 😉, I use US money at the end of the cruise. Will dollars be okay or do I need to get more euros? TIA! We are on the same cruise. I thought about euros or dollars for tipping cruise staff. Since this is the last cruise before the Carnival Pride heads back to the states, US dollars would be appropriate. Maybe we will bump in to each other on board. We are flying our Saturday morning and have plans in Rome for Monday and Tuesday. We did a 14 day land vacation throughout Italy before Covid. So we are just visiting site that missed in 2019. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ninjacat123 Posted October 13, 2023 Author #146 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Got through TSA (no body cavity search😜) and relaxing in the American Airlines lounge. We have a membership and I love it, especially for the fresh made avocado toast!! 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying Norse + Easy Jet. $100 JFK to London, $29 to Rome, $149 Rome to JFK, plus luggage it came to about $480 each round trip. It's also hilarious (or sad) that it costs almost as much for my bag to fly as it does for me 😞 Edited October 13, 2023 by Whatsthedillio 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ninjacat123 Posted October 13, 2023 Author #148 Share Posted October 13, 2023 When we first walked in, it was very crowded. Now there are some empty seats. Probably goes in waves. It’s nice to have free food and free beer and wine. We upsold to a bottle of sparkling wine. Breakfast of champions!!🥂🍾😜 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
