7toEleven Posted June 22, 2008 #8 Share Posted June 22, 2008 OMG, I cant believe its almost here! Our trip of a lifetime! Grand MED. We planned this trip over a year and a half ago. Sorry folks, I couldnt contain my excitement! I just had to shout it out!3 more days til we go to Italy! Yaaaaa hoooooo!!!:D We did this trip last year, and it was AMAZING!!! We spent almost 1 year in the planning, (waiting!) for it to happen. With such a big trip, I did use all that time and was able to maximize our time (came home exhausted!). The biggest help of all was CC, couldn't have done all without all the help and advise. I hope you enjoy your trip 1/2 as much as we did ours, and if so, you will be over the moon! Enjoy!

rdytocruz Posted June 23, 2008 #10 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Be sure to take a carry on with enough stuff to get by if you have to. We took the Freedom on May 10 and 70 people did not get to Rome with their luggage. I personally talked with 2 women and a man in this situation and it is very inconvenient. I take a carryon with enough packed that if I had to get by for 2 weeks I could. Think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItaliaAmerCruzLady Posted June 23, 2008 Author #11 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Mary2, Go to the roll calls site for Carnival Freedom Grand Med, June 27th. We have been chatting for over a year with other cruisers on this sailing, We are having a Meet and greet at the back of the Lido deck by the pizza station, Come on there at 4:30 on Embarcation day, Introduce yourselves and meet the gang! I will surely write a review! And, good advice about the carry on, I dont have exactly enough for the 2 weeks, or I wouldnt need my big suitcase, but I am putting some items to get me by for a few days , anyway. And, cross packing with hubby so if one of us has a bag, but the other doesnt. I dont have to wear his undies!Or worse, he wear mine:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecs Posted June 26, 2008 #19 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Fran & Ed if you have a computer and read this I know you are already in the air zipping to rome but just wanted to say good luck, have a great flight and a great cruise. You will be betting off when we are get on. We will probably cross paths somewhere between rome and the cruse docks. Later, Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
