Hi Joe,

DH and I are booked on Celebrity Galaxy's 10-day itinerary on May 21
that includes Italy, Greece, France and Spain. Might be just what you
are looking for.

This is interesting.

This TA has openly solicited business. Our Reg RTC TA's,, who
advertise by spam and sig line, do as well.

What say you RTC?

A good bet as GALAXY returns to Europe, or for a more international mix book a
verandah suite on MSC or Festival and dine full time in the more upmarket
alternate restaurant. These two lines operate four brand-new sister ships MSC
LIRICA, MSC OPERA, EUROPEAN STARS and EUROPEAN VISION, all with Italian
officers.

A recent passenger on EUROPEAN VISION commented to me that this was "the way
cruising was ten years ago before all the mega-ships."

My opinion:

Lower price: Royal Caribbean

Mid price: Celebrity, Holland America, Orient Lines (less luxury but
better lectures -- nice crowd too), P&O (British crowd, nice
operation)

High price - Windstar, Oceania (Oceania has some great promotional
deals this summer, I would jump on one if available), Swan Hellenic
(British)

Luxury - any

With Costa, you're really taking your chances -- I have heard some
extremely upset people getting off Costa cruises, although some people
like them. Biggest problems are a lot of smoke and bad food.

The places you mention would probably not all be on the same cruise --
usually you get Eastern or Western. I recommend Western Med. One
really great stop you might want to make sure you hit is Kusadasi,
Turkey, from which you can visit Ephesus, perhaps the best preserved
large Greco-Roman ruin in the world. Greek Islands are a must.

One great route is Venice-Turkey-Venice.
