Thanks Dazzamckay. What did you do for Sicily Mykonos and Santorini? I already booked tours for the other ports. Did you visit ancient ruins Akrotori in Santorini?

There were 4 off us and he charge â¬60. There's also an open top tour bus which cost â¬12/14 pp but it does the same sort of tour, if you wanted to do the bus when we come out from the port we turned right and it was further along on the left . The taxi was more convenient and actually a nice guy. Hope that helps.

Rhodes was lovely. We just got off the ship and got a taxi who took us on an hours tour and dropped us off at the old town. Enjoy we loved it.

I'm leaving 28th Sept for the Greek island â´ Totally excited. Only disappointment is that they took Ephesus off the itinerary. ð¢ Really wanted to go there. But they replaced it with Rhodes

It was our first cruise and we loved it. We sailed around the Greek Isles from Rome. There was only one Bartender who was horrible and he worked in the safari club. He was Puerto Rican I think.

Jewel was my first cruise in 2007. Absolutely took my breath away and got me hooked on RC. I'm so glad to hear she is still a beauty! Where does she sail out of now?
