I’m so Excited!!

As you are reading this I will be on board Celebrity Reflection for my annual Cruise Holiday.  Yes, it’s my job to sell lovely cruises to all my customers but I also enjoy cruising myself so try to do at least 1 a year for my holidays.

It’s 3 years since I last went on Celebrity so really looking forward to this one.  Myself & my husband Adam fly to Rome on 20 July and transfer to the ship then we have 10 nights on board visiting the Greek Islands.

This is our itinerary:-

Fri 20Jul2018 Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy 5:00 PM Boarding
Sat 21Jul2018 Sicily (Messina), Italy 10:00 AM 7:00 PM Docked
Sun 22Jul2018 Valletta, Malta 8:00 AM 6:00 PM Docked
Mon 23Jul2018 Cruising
Tue 24Jul2018 Mykonos, Greece 7:00 AM 6:00 PM Tendered
Wed 25Jul2018 Rhodes, Greece 7:30 AM 6:00 PM Docked
Thu 26Jul2018 Santorini, Greece 7:00 AM 6:00 PM Tendered
Fri 27Jul2018 Athens (Piraeus), Greece 6:00 AM 6:00 PM Docked
Sat 28Jul2018 Cruising
Sun 29Jul2018 Naples (Capri), Italy 7:00 AM 6:30 PM Docked
Mon 30Jul2018 Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy 5:00 AM Departure

The only destination I have visited on this itinerary is Naples so it will be great to see new places.

It will be our 5th wedding anniversary whilst we are in Santorini so looking forward to this day especially,  we may even book a speciality restaurant for this night (depends on our dinner table).

We have booked 4 excursions in Sicily, Malta, Rhodes & Athens for approx 4 hours so still have time to do our own thing also.  The other ports we will get off and just have a look around.

We have booked a Concierge balcony cabin and have the All Inclusive drinks package included so shouldn’t run up too big a bill as long as hubby stays out of the Casino!  With Concierge it gives us priority check-in and few little extras in the cabin.  We usually have a balcony so will be good to see the difference & if it’s worth it – I’ll let you know.

Keep your eye on my Facebook page as I will put some info & maybe a video or 2 on there.
