We had an amazing time! Great experience overall. The ports were all great and all had a different feel. We had a slight delay getting into Naples because of a sailboat that was in need, so our ship stopped to help. However, the captain made sure to give us a little extra time in Naples because of the delay arriving. Would definitely recommend. My children are 10, 14, and 16 and also enjoyed the experience. Lots to do. Keep in mind, a lot of walking at the ports. I didn’t mind it since we did a lot of eating. A very memorable experience with Royal Caribbean!

Ship tip
Bring medication to help with motion sickness. The ship is huge, but there was one day at sea where we did feel the ship rocking.
Keep in mind, when the ship arrives, in order to get to the town of Fira, you can either take a cable car up (the line is long since there are limited cable cars), take a donkey up for $10 a person which takes about 15 minutes to get all the way up, or walk 600 steps. My daughter and I decided to ride the donkey which was an interesting experience, but glad we did it. My husband and boys actually walked the 600 stairs which is doable, but exhausting. We did a private tour of Santorini. The town of Oia was breathtaking. A must see.
Beautiful country. We walked the bazaar and we took pictures with a parrot and did a drone video of our family next to a castle. A resident of Kusadasi did it for us for a very good price.
Thanks for sharing. I am taking the same cruise in September 2022. Which port did you dock in Santorini? I called RC yesterday and they told me the port of skala? Is that true? Also, since it's my first time in Europe, I may have misjudged my flight time. What was the earliest time they left you guys leave the ship? Since my flight is leaving at 10:00 can you suggest an affordable/reliable company that would provide a safe transfer back to FCO?Final question. Was the security process long departing FCO? I am just trying to prepare myself since I think, I may have cut myself a little short on the departure time. Thank you
