Leaving for Mediterranean Cruise Friday - Any tips/suggestions?

Hi Everyone! DH and I are leaving for a RCL Mediterranean Cruise on Friday Chat Icon

We are very excited, though a little nervous about "cruising" because I don't really picture us as "cruise" people. However, we are going to some amazing places so it's all good!

If anyone has any suggestions about what to pack, specific places to see, any cruise tips in general, it would be much appreciated! TIA!!

Here's our itinerary:

Depart: Venice, Italy
Day 1:Dubrovnik, Croatia
Day 2: Cruising
Day 3: Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey
Day 4: Santorini, Greece
Day 5: Corfu, Greece
Day 6: Cruising
Arrive Venice, Italy

Bring a sweater or sweatshirt. It gets chilly on the ships at night!

I went on a similar cruise and my friend went on that same one during the summer- It was fantastic! Have a great time!

Santorini is amazing- we went on a wine tour of Oia and it was so much fun and the views were gorgeous! it was my absolute favorite!

If you haven't already, book your excursions as soon as you get on the ship - they get booked quickly.

Have fun - we loved our Med cruise!!

Hubby and I went cruising a few months ago to similar desitnations. I'll give you some tips at each port.

First visit cruisecritic.com's boards and try to sign up with others on a private tour at Ephesus.

Depart: Venice, Italy -
Try to sign up for the Doge Secret Tour, I heard good things about it. If you're heading there early, also try to get an all access Venice pass to use all transportations - bus to ferry, etc.

Day 2: Cruising
Relax and enjoy your time!

Day 3: Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey
Visit Ephesus ruins; the Kusadasi port has a mall with very aggressive salesmen. Be careful of them, and dont look them in the eye!

Day 4: Santorini, Greece
Make sure your battery is full and take lotsa pictures! Rent an ATV and ride around. It's fun!

Enjoy your cruise! It was really fun for me and I'm sure you'll enjoy it immensely too!
