Thanks Kevin! I'm the Joe he just referred to in the above post. Looks like my wife (Tricia) and I will now be joining you on this trip. We are from Melbourne, FL. Really looking forward to this, especially all the wine and pizza that is being discussed :)

Welcome!!
 
I am going to officially welcome all of the new people joining the cruise and going forward here is a blanket welcome to cover everyone yet to sign up:welcome: this will be too exhausting keeping up with all of the welcomes.

Me!:yay: Me!:yay: Me!:yay:

Regarding the nighttime entertainment, I'm not there for that. I'm expecting to be exhausted at the end of the day and sitting quietly with a glass of wine and talking about my day.

I was thinking the same thing - they have a performance or two and mentioned like someone playing guitar in the lobby ... that is fine for me - more about the ports and hanging out with you all lovely people!
 


For those that care about what is actually available on the ship.

From a review of the ships. Some of the quote is from the sister ship the Star.
Outlets are plentiful and range from 110 to 220 volts, including both European and American plug options.
bedside charging via USB ports and outlets to quiet-closing drawers and cabinets that don't shake, even when the ship is sailing through rough waters.
To save energy, power to each cabin requires a keycard (or any card) placed in a slot by the door, but outlets by the desk will provide power even if a card isn't in place, meaning you can charge devices while you're away.
 
So let's talk about power...110vac or 220vac and 50Hz or 60Hz on the ship?
It appears that they have both 110 and 220 in the cabins, presumably 60 Hz (no, not Kristi or Dustin because that would make it 52 or 62 Hz which would really mess up the clocks) so we should be all set!

I sure don't want to be the reason people are late for their gelato & wine in the evening!
 
Adding on to the power discussion, I'm still bringing the European plug adapters for a couple of reasons. One is that we plan on some pre- and post-cruise nights so will need them for the hotels. The second is that you can also use them on the ship if there aren't enough 110 outlets where you need them.

Good point, since at a minimum we are planning on some pre-nights in Rome. Now we just have to find where we put them...

Also keep in mind that the sockets in Italy often need three-pronged plugs, unlike most of the rest of Europe.
 
trying to decide pre-nights in Rome (on my own) or the Florence/Tuscany pre-nights or just Florence. Decisions decisions.

Keep in mind that single travelers will pay almost double the per person price for any add on.

They do bring the price down a bit because of meals not being needed, but you are looking at somewhere between $2400 and $2800 for three nights.

For example....a party of two will pay $1698 for two pre-nights in Rome. A single will pay $1498.00

Not trying to talk you out of anything. Just making sure you have the info.
