What a fantastic trip traveling with our great friends, Rick and Judy Kennedy. Weather was great the whole way. The cruise was wonderful at every stop. Our meals were made better by our waiter and assistant Robert and Boban. Our cabin steward, Lino, kept things shipshape. Our wonderful servers in Crooners, Andja, Jerome and Ivana, kept Rick and my martini glasses chilled and filled. I'm not sure we have ever walked so much on a cruise. I ended up only gaining 1 pound on this entire vacation. Then we spent 3 wonderful days in Rome, Vatican, Sistine Chappel, Colosseum, Forum, Pantheon, Plaza di Navona, Spanish Steps and always my favorite the breathtaking Trevi Fountain. Our last night in Rome we had dinner at the Hard Rock. It seemed that after all this wonderful food on the cruise ship and at the Trattorias in Rome we craved some greasy hamburgers and fries. Our flight home turned out to be uneventful and on time. Yeah| Now we need to watch the budget to pay for all this fun.
