We have sailed to Pireaus and Mykonos last year on our honeymoon but all the other ports are new to us .

We prefer to do our own thing rather than book cruise excursions so will be looking forward to exploring these new ports and have been given lots of tips.

We’ll be using the funicular in Santorini , hop on hop off bus in Pireuas, In Rhodes we will be jump in in a taxi to go to Lindos and then having a wander around the walled city of Rhodes town  , in Naples were planning to get the ferry to Capri and in Mykonos do some shopping in the designer shops .

We’ve pre paid the drinks package through our cruise personaliser  , booked our My Time dining times and gratuities will be added onto our on board account so all that’s left is to pick up some Euros and get ourselves to Manchester Airport .

See you in two weeks with lots of pictures from onboard Jewel of the Seas .
