Feedback
My husband and I went on a Mediterranean Cruise for my 60th Birthday.
I spent my actual birthday in Santorini which is one of the Greek Islands
It was really special because this is my most favorite place in the whole world. The Cruise was with Royal Caribbean and it was absolutely perfect.
This was my 8th cruise and I would rank it as "the best" The Mediterranean is one of the most spectacular regions to visit with so much diversity and beauty it is captivating.
I would definitely reccomment a Mediterranean cruise to anyone, any age.
