Any help would be appreciated regarding cruising next year (from 8-10
days). My criteria includes mild to warm weather, calm seas and going
into ports to avoid rough tendering. (I don't want to ruin my trip
with uncomfortable small boat rides if possible, not a fan of water.
Having said that you may think I should do a land vacation instead of
a cruise....My interests include Barcelona, Cannes, Monte Carlo, St.
Tropez, Sicily and parts of Italy and anything else that might be
spectacular and not to be missed. Thanks, GC

Constantly, I receive mail on a daily basis, I just thought with
everyone's experience here I might learn a thing or two of some great
experiences (or avoidance) that someone has had using a particular
cruise/land excursion.

peter can be cranky. Must be the worms up his rump :)

We have taken RCCL Brilliance around the Med and across the Atlantic
on a repositioning. 14+ days, don't recall but it was great.

Several people we know have taken the Crystal line and very much
enjoyed that experience. Same with Seven Seas.

But the one thing you will have to decide is do you want to cruise or
see Europe. Cruising isn't a good choice for seeing destinations for
the reasons you mentioned. We land vacation preferably and only cruise
the Med when we desire the ship and the sea.

let me know, all assistance is free of charge!
