Don't WAIT to book as this is one RED HOT sailing!!
Oh wow, how I would love to do this one, but budget does not allow.
We saw a "preview" of the Royal while sailing on the Ruby, it sure looks to be a fabulous ship! Would love to see the glass floor that juts out over the sea!
Well, we are booked on the Caribbean innaugural, directly following this one, so I hope you guys leave the ship in good shape and leave some food for us!
If the state of California hadn't decided to cut my hours, because apparently fewer hours of tax collectors is what this broke state needs, I would nag the heck out of my hubby until we booked. I love Venice and Madeira Island is where my relatives roam. Please I beg you teach the CD how to pronounce Funchal it's not fun chow. It's Foo shawl. Thanks.

Hello Everyone, this is my first post on this forum. I am a physically disabled person who is scheduled to cruise in October 2013 from Barcelona to Italy. I am really excited as I will be celebrating my 60th birthday and recent retirement as an educator. Some in my family now believe that I should cancel because the cities and excursions are not very accommodating for persons with disabilities. I am very frustrated and don't know what to do. Can any of you share some very any personal experience you might have had in this situation. I want to know the good an the bad to make an informed decision about going. Any information and experiences you can share with me would be most appreciated. Thanks
As much as I would love to do this cruise it is way beyond my budget.
Laura

Now is the time to book a cruise with Venice in it. The route cruise ships take is going to be changed so that the ships will not take the main channel through town anymore. This will mean lost photo opportunities from the deck of the ship.
