TRAVEL BLOG AND ITINERARY

My latest adventure was to attend a "Seminar at Sea" on a 12-night Mediterranean and Greek Island Cruise with Royal Caribbean International.
The Brilliance of the Seas was my home for 12-nights.
Departing from Barcelona on Oct 30, the ships itineray included Villefranche-sur-mer in France, Florence, Naples and Pompeii, Rome, Athens, Santorini, Mykonos and Kusadasi/Ephesus in Turkey.
The weather on these first 11 in November was absolutely perfect for this kind of trip, all beautiful sunny days with highs of 18 to 20 Celsius, with the exception of a big rain shower in Florence (but I have a really beautiful umbrella from Florence now!!)
Here is a brief account of each Port-of-call visited.
