Decided – NO

We decided to cancel these three cruises. Our friends will not be going after all.  We could still choose to go - we think they look great and all but it is a lot of money for cruising. I suspect the prices will come down but even with these great ports of call, none of the stops are “dream destinations” for us.  I will say GREECE and TURKEY are but we think we would prefer a land based trip to those places. The fact is we still haven’t made our ISRAEL or EGYPT trip.  Three plans, three fails there so we might look into that for our “big” trip this year.

Tentatively Booked!

We tentatively booked these THREE Celebrity cruises on the Equinox for a total of 38 days at sea. A couple of our friends are going on these three cruises and others may join in. I say it is tentative because October is a long ways away! The three cruises are as follows: 

Spain & Portugal Cruise Oct. 2, 13 days

Cruise 1

Italy & Greek Isles Cruise Oct 15, 12 days

Cruise 2

Spain & Canary Islands TA Oct. 27, 13 days

Cruise 3

The highlights would be overnight in Lisbon to see some friends who live there, the Rock of Gibraltar, a Naples stop to see Pompeii, on to Turkey and Greece where we have never been, over night in Malta, and the Canary Islands on the way across the Atlantic back to Fort Lauderdale, USA. We aren’t sure it will work out but maybe so! Other than some travel in our Casita, it may be our only big trip this year.
