I'll be updating the background running up to this journey as we go, so stay tuned and follow along if you're so inclined - it'll be a long, rambly, photographic mess, per usual. We booked several months ago, this sailing is a 10 day Mediterranean RT from Trieste. The website says Venice (Trieste), but we know what that means. We are 48 hours from flying Air France DFW-CDG-VCE, so gotta scramble.... 47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TxTeach79 Posted June 10 Author #2 Share Posted June 10 I feel like we were just here because as some of you know I just got off a 10 day on Carnival Venezia last week.... (I love that a "Bar Cruise Cash" icon is the cover image. It fits.) I turn Gold this sailing, and to get there I returned to NCL for the first time in eight years in March on a quick 4 day shorty on the Sun.... And of all my other LIVEs, the other one I'm going to link is last year's 12 day western Europe on Carnival Pride, a great cruise that inspired us to jump back to the other side of the Med this summer: 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcvtmom Posted June 10 #4 Share Posted June 10 Excited for this one! My favorite cruise EVER was a western Med cruise. We had another one booked for the summer of 2020, but we all know how THAT went! We hope to book the Med again in 2026, when a friend retires and wants to treat his family to a big cruise. Being the (unofficial) cruise planner of the group, I'm always on the lookout for experiences of others, both good and bad. Let's have at it! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruiseny4life Posted June 10 #5 Share Posted June 10 Well, well...welcome back to the Norwegian boards! I failed at keeping up with your Venezia sailing. I'm hoping to do better here! The NCL crew is a wee bit more reserved than that Carnival crowd, even though plenty are quickly making their way here for the next few days! 2 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare TxTeach79 Posted June 10 Author #7 Share Posted June 10 So, the itinerary we originally booked is here: Then, a couple months later, NCL sends us this. Basically we lost Venice and Zadar, and replaced them with Rijeka and Dubrovnik. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikayla73 Posted June 10 #11 Share Posted June 10 Present! I so want to do a med cruise and specifically go to Venice, but DH is not about those long flights and doesn't have a big desire to go to Europe (he's already been). So for now, I'm living vicariously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - we have one night post cruise in Venice. Wish it was a little longer, but some of us (B) have real grown up jobs 9 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired-N-Happy Posted June 10 #15 Share Posted June 10 This live is going to be a tag team affair with the "Queen 🐝" and her "Worker 🐝". Double trouble compared to Paul's Live from the Venezia. Let the good times roll in Europe, especially with Paul able to have 16+ drinks. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know from my parents' pics from a more recent sailing that the ship was completely remodeled inside and looks much nicer than it did back then. I loved it, though. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
