When you dock in Civitavecchia , Most people will want to go to Rome....You can take a ships tour..(very expensive, big buses full of people, but safe and easy peasy..) OR, you can be adventuresome, and hop on a train and see Rome on your own! OF COURSE, that's what we did....My motto is never do anything the easy way...only the FUN way! </div>

Anna, my niece, loves meeting up with cruisers, and helping them navigate Rome.... She met us at the shuttle stop, walked us one block to a tobacco shop where we bought our train ticket,( about 10 euros) and then walked another block to the station where we caught our train. </div>

We have been to Rome before, so we skipped the Vatican tour, but if that is your goal, the best option is to buy your tickets online, and skip the long lines.... I recommend making the Vatican your first stop, as it gets very crowded as the day wears on! </div>

We hopped on a tram, and strolled by the Colosseum.... If this was my first time to Rome, I would have purchased an advanced ticket and gone inside.... It is amazing to visit, but as this was a fun relaxing day, I was content to just gaze at this imposing structure!! It was a hot day though, and I was dreaming of the Gelato shop Anna was going to take us to...( she knows the BEST places to eat!) After all....Who goes to Rome and doesn't get Gelato!!</div>

Walking along the Roman forum, as we grabbed a tram to get us back to the train station....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
all in all, we left the port at 0800, arrived in the Vatican by 0930, walked to the city center, had lunch, threw coins, ogled the Pantheon, saw the coliseum, and the roman forum, had a whirlwind walking tour of Rome, and made it back to the ship by 1730...in time for cocktails! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anna... you are amazing! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If anyone wants to meet up with Anna....well, just drop me a note....I'll be glad to do what I can to set you up....After all, She LOVES to show off Rome!</div>

If you've done Pisa, Florence, and want a lovely stress free Port day.....Take the train, or hire a cab to take you to Lucca.....a lovely walled city, just a few miles from Pisa....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If fact, it is an easily combined trip...Pisa and Lucca.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The cab cost 100 Euros r/t, shared by 8 of us..... an easily affordable tour. It is about an hour from the port, where you will drive thru some lovely Tuscan countryside! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The town is easily walkable and the most popular sites can be seen in a few hours....</div>

</div>
Months before we left on our 6 week adventure. we started pricing flights home from Rome.....Turkish air was the most reasonable, and when we found out that we could layover in Istanbul for 3 days for only 60 bucks more...well.....it was a no brainer! One word to the wise though.....pay attention to the airport you chose....Istanbul has 2. One fairly close and one verrrrrry far away!!! Pay attention People.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If Istanbul is a cruise port for you and you are there for just the day, I suggest a taxi to the blue Mosque, Free entrance. From there you can walk to the Hagia Sophia, about 12 USD pp. They take credit cards and Turkish TL ( 40 TL) only. No Euros or USD are accepted at the ticket counter. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Spend some time in the park area...just to get a feel for the life in this beautiful area. Then stroll up to the grand bazaar, a 10 min walk. have a Turkish coffee and a pastry....you won't regret it!</div>
<div>

5 minutes away, we walked to the Hagia Sophia Mosque....OMG I was so Impressed! This Mosque was once a Cathedral built in the early days of Constantinople...Almost 1500 years old! It is now a museum, and is available to visit by anyone. We bought our tickets at the site, early in the day. It is best to go early when it is still cool, and less crowded. </div>

I seemed like a good idea to jump on a ship out of Tampa...Just a 45 min drive, and end up 2 weeks later in Barcelona Spain! The Brilliance of the Seas was available so why not!</div>

Life onboard the Carnival Sensation!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Its summertime, and time to take 2 of the grandkids on a cruise! These Alaskan kids had never been on a cruise before, and it was high time they got the cruzin fever!</div>

We decided to take them on the Carnival Sensation, out of Port Canaveral. It was a perfect choice, if I do say so myself! They had just finished remodeling, and had added a waterworks park, just perfect for the kids! In fact, we spend most of our time hanging out by the slides!</div>

It was perfect timing, as the ship was still in port, and there were not many people, and NO lines! Hint #1.....when you arrive on the ship, make a bee line to waterworks.... The kids ( and Adults!) will have a ball!</div>

Never in my wildest dreams, did this avid cruiser, think she would spend 6 days and 5 nights river rafting..... No showers, no hot water, no electricity....no indoor plumbing!!! Just 6 glorious days rafting down a wild river! After a few days no one noticed if you hadn't shaved your legs, been wearing the same clothes for days on end, Or brushed your teeth..( and just for the record.....I did!)<br />
No one blinked an eye when you headed for the potty...( usually a lonely walk into the woods in full view of everyone!!) or headed to the river to pee....we were all in the same boat, and no one cared about the niceties of conventional daily life... I loved it!!<br />
No make-up, no worrying about what to wear ( as I had usually slept in my clothes) and last but not least, all pretensions were swept aside, and we were free to be ourselves!!</div>

We camped out along the river each night! Fortunately, the advance raft had already arrived, and set up our tents! Cold drinks were waiting, and we could smell dinner cooking! After unpacking we settled down along the river with glasses of wine in hand, and big grins on our faces as we realized that we had survived the first day!</div>

My oldest son Pete,is stationed in Sitka Alaska, along with his wife, and 6 children! It is not easy to fly to Sitka.....It is an Island 180 miles east of Juneau, and it involves a 2 day trip from Tampa. ( I could fly to Europe quicker!) Last September, I spent 2 weeks there, along with my son Rob and his family. Sitka is an ideal place to see nature in all its glory!</div>

Downtown Sitka is so fun to visit! all the little shops sell Alaskan artifacts souvenirs, and Russian curios. Sitka used to be a Russian fur trading post, and has a serious Russian heritage. At the end of the street is the Russian Orthodox Cathedral, which is over a 100 years old! Very beautiful and worth a visit!</div>

My Husband has died....There is no other way to say it....and somehow saying it out loud makes it seem real. I have been trying to write this post since he died, August 25th, but the words didn't come easily. This will always be Michael and Karans excellent adventures, as I will carry him with me everywhere I go. He was a character..... funny, sweet, and loved to travel! </div>

And finally arriving at the site of the Viking houses. The front part of the ruin is the family area with the fire pit, and sleeping areas. The back area is for the cows and horses....Apparently they all lived together and kept each other warm! Those Vikings were hearty people! That's all I'm saying...</div>

Awaiting the tender ...Now that was an experience all to itself....Nuuk, has a floating dock...yes people, a floating dock just like you would see in someone's back yard!

My personal favorite is the Boardwalk! As you enter this 5 story outdoor area, right off the bat, you are amazed by the full size merry go-round! It is open all day and most of the evening, and usually it takes no time at all to board and feel like you've gone back in time!</div>

My review of the Allure of the seas</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Embarkation ............... Smooth as a whistle! 10 minutes start to finish </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ship.........only a few years old, and immaculate </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Service................... was terrific! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Dining Areas................The food was hot, served quickly, presented well </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Johnny Rockets.......Loved each and every bite! don't miss the sundaes </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Dog House........Has 5 or 6 different selections...all were good, would like to see different sides offered. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Park café............The best ever in the world Roast Beef sandwich....! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Promenade café, and Sorrento's were adequate. Chops.........Service and food impeccable...way to much served!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Entertainment was first class.... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Disembarkation was a snap at all the ports except Ft. Lauderdale. long, long, long, lines for customs. My advice to get off the ship as early as possible!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This ship gets an A+++ for families, adults, and Seniors!</div>

<br />
We had 3 Princess future cruises to burn, and Princess was offering a great sale.....soooooo , someone twisted our arms, and we booked 3 Back2back cruises! 2, 4day cruises, and added on a 3 day cruise at the end.....<br />
Will we do it that way again.....Probably not, did we have fun.....Is the Pope catholic? Of course we did!!! It was an awesome 11 days!! We left on May 15th which happens to be our Anniversary. The next cruise was May 19, which is my birthday! and the last cruise was ...well....just because we could!<br />

We had to tender in from the ship, which was difficult. Some people waited over 2 hours to get ashore. Lucky me, I'm an elite level, and one of the perks, is not waiting for tenders. I only had to walk down to the tender, and get one. WHEW! ( does not apply when going back! sad face...)</div>

Cozumel Mexico was our next port, and we have been there so many times, we elected to stay in the port area. It is very built up, with swimming areas, bars and shops. </div>

My review of the ship</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Embarkation..... Is usually more difficult than the other lines. After a wait, we were on the ship and having our welcome aboard drink by 1230 </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ship.......had just been in dry dock, and was in good repair. Cabins were clean and in good order </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Service .....was excellent throughout the ship </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Dining areas. We had anytime dining, and the service was excellent. I was unhappy that they had so few tables for 2, that the wait for a table could be up to 45 min. This should be corrected. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Food........Was excellent throughout the ship! We loved the Pizza ( the best pizza on the high seas!) We enjoyed the Trident grill, and the international café! The meals in the dining room were wonderful! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Entertainment....Was fair. The singers and dancers were very good on two of the shows, the comediennes were funny. They showed movies in the Theater in the afternoon, and the selection was awesome! Gravity, Hunger games, Las Vegas. We're not pool entertainment people, so didn't see much of that!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All in all, I give this Ship an A....I would highly recommend this ship for seniors, families, and young adults! </div>

As you probably know by now.....We love to cruise! Last week we returned from a 5 day cruise with our granddaughters! So different than travelling by ourselves! I wrote about that adventure last week, http://karanandmichael.blogspot.com/2014/04/giggly-girls-on-cruise.html<br />

My Review of the Liberty of the seas....<br />
<br />
Embarkation....No one beats Royal for ease of embarkation! We were on the ship in less than 15 minutes after arrival!<br />
<br />
Ship.....This ship is in beautiful shape. We saw no signs of wear and tear, and the public areas are beautifully maintained.<br />
<br />
Service...... The service was excellent. Our room attendant had lots to contend with, and he managed beautifully, and kept our room in tip top shape. Dining room service was wonderful, the food served hot, and in a timely manner.<br />
<br />
Dining.....The Promenade cafe and Sorrentos Pizza were adequate, I wish they would change the menus up a bit....Pizza was only fair. Windjammer buffet was very good, food was fresh and hot. The girls loved the buffet, so we ate there a lot! The food in the Dining room was wonderful!<br />
<br />
Rooms....We had been upgraded to Balcony rooms, so we had very little to complain about! Rooms were kept clean and orderly, and in good repair.<br />
<br />
Entertainment.... was awesome! Saturday night fever was spectacular, and the aerial show was one of the best I have ever seen! We loved the ice skating show so much, we went twice!<br />
<br />
Disembarkation...We carried our bags off the ship, and it took about 30 minutes to navigate the lines, and get on the road. Easy Peasy!<br />
<br />
I would give this ship an A+ and highly recommend it for families, singles, and Seniors. We had a ball!<br />

What could be better than a cruise with your granddaughters! I have to say, it was quite different than our usual cruises, and honestly, much more fun! We did 5 hot and sunny days on the Liberty of the seas, a perfect ship for Kids! Ice skating, boogie boarding, swimming in all the pools, and who can forget the hot tubs hanging off the side of the ship!</div>

As I walked along the beach gathering sea glass, an older chinese man stopped me, and pointed at his camera. I nodded yes, mentally planning how I would take his picture...When much to my surprise, he jumped next to me, with a toothy grin, and some one snapped his picture! Next someone handed me a baby, SNAP, they started lining up for pictures with me! Suddenly, I realized that they had never seen a western person, and wanted pictures. I had my 15 minutes of fame, before my husband rescued me, but I wasn't sure if I should be flattered, or horrified that they found me so strange!</div>

Our bus ride back to the port was 5 hours long, long traffic jams, and a maniac bus driver who was afraid he wouldn't make it back to the port on time.... he passed on the right shoulder, weaved in and out of traffic, and when I looked to see how fast he was going, I noticed the speedometer was broken! It was with a sigh of relief, when we flew into the port 30 min late....and the ship was still there!</div>

This is what we came to see, but unfortunately, the storm of the century blew in, and brought rain and pea soup fog....We were unable to view the big Buddha, and too old and tired to climb the 500 steps to the top!

They live in Alaska, and will be flying back to Florida, with their father, next month</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A cruise in the Caribbean will be a welcome diversion from the cold Alaskan winter.</div>

We chose the<br />
Liberty of The Seas for the children's adventures,</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Lets break down how you pick a cruise.....</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are usually 3 very important categories<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Money</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ship</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Itinerary<br />
<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We chose Itinerary first. We live in Florida, and we only wanted to be gone for 4 or 5 days</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so the Caribbean fit the bill.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We picked the ship next, we prefer to stay close to Tampa ports, but we wanted a ship that would be large and give the girls an opportunity for lots of adventures. Bingo! Royal Caribbean is the only way to go!</div>

Price, I always check to see if they have a senior rate, Military rate, and a discount for Floridians</div>

We fit the bill for all three discounts and believe me, It has saved us tens of thousands of dollars over the years!<br />
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This cruise had a discounted price due to low sales and also a senior rate. Woo-hoo! </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then looked for ways of adding on-board credit. Checked my usual travel sites for special offers. Special offers can include paying your tips, on-board credit, specialty meals, airfare, or spa treatments. I was able to wangle $50 on board credit by booking with Crucon</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On this 5 day cruise I was able to save 30% by just doing the research myself and not using a travel agent.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A few other tips </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1.If you are new to cruising, Pick one line and stick with it until you will reach a loyalty status that gives youthe perks you want.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. CHECK PRICES EVERY DAY! Your cruise line will most likely drop the price periodically, and if you call the line or your agent, you will be able to get the lower price. We once booked a 43 day cruise, the initial price was over 11k for 2. We ended up paying less than 6k for two, by just taking advantage of monitoring price drops! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. sign up for emails from cruise lines, and online cruise agencies. They offer fabulous bargains, with many perks!</div>

It occurred to me last week as I was walking through my neighborhood, that in pursuit of exotic places, I had forgotten how beautiful the colors are, in my own backyard.<br />

One of our favorite stops is Ft. Desoto in St Petersburg Beach. There is an old Spanish American era fort there, as well as one of the worlds most beautiful beaches!<br />

It seemed so exotic, and so far away from the world I lived in... ( thank you encylopedia Britannica, for carrying me away so so many amazing places) Anywaaaay.....I haven't made it to constantinople yet, but I did get a chance to visit Petra.....over 2000 yrs old, and built on the spice routes from the Gulf of Aqaba , to Turkey....<br />

I had to take a deep breath, as it had been many years since I had even been near a horse, not to mention actually getting on one...but since I had just ridden a camel a few days earlier.....I didn't give it a second thought, and hopped right on!</div>

We had to walk partway thru the most awesome rock formations!</div>

Suddenly, the narrow rock passageway opened into a large area, and we gasped, as we got our first look at the Treasury...carved out by hand into the beautiful rose colored rock. </div>

The camels were awaiting riders, to take them along the roadway to glimpse the tombs, homes, and shops of the ancient people. We elected to walk the dusty trails, and take our time to look and try to visualize how it must have looked 2000 years ago!</div>
