Back from an incredible 7-night Mediterranean cruise aboard Royal Caribbean’s Odyssey of the Seas! 🚢☀️

Tomorrow we will be flying to Athens to embark on the beautiful Yacht / Cruise Explora II… VERY different from Royal Caribbean, so will keep you up to date.

But anyways, here’s OOTS… We sailed from Rome on 31st May and enjoyed an amazing itinerary visiting the beautiful Greek islands of Mykonos and Santorini, the fascinating Turkish port of Kusadasi, and the stunning city of Naples before returning home.

We stayed in a balcony cabin, which was absolutely worth it. There’s nothing quite like waking up to a new destination every morning and enjoying a coffee while taking in the sea views from your own private balcony.

Odyssey of the Seas is a fantastic ship with so much to do onboard. Whether it was relaxing around the pool, enjoying the bars and lounges, or simply exploring everything the ship has to offer, there was never a dull moment. The entertainment was outstanding throughout the week, with some truly spectacular shows that rival anything you’d see on land.

The food was excellent from start to finish, with plenty of variety and great quality across the ship. Every meal felt like a treat, and the service from the crew was exceptional. Every member of staff went above and beyond to make the holiday special.

One thing I’d definitely recommend is the Drinks & WiFi Package. For us, it offered fantastic value for money. Having unlimited drinks and staying connected throughout the cruise made the whole experience even more enjoyable and stress-free.

From the breathtaking sunsets in Santorini to wandering the charming streets of Mykonos, exploring ancient history near Kusadasi, and enjoying pizza and views of Mount Vesuvius in Naples, this cruise delivered unforgettable memories every single day.

Thank you, Odyssey of the Seas, for an amazing week at sea! ❤️🚢🌍

🚢 And we’re off…

Today I’m setting sail aboard Odyssey of the Seas for an incredible journey through the Greek Isles and beyond.

Over the next week I’ll be exploring Mykonos, Santorini, Kusadasi and Naples, whilst enjoying life at sea in between.

Although I’m on annual leave until Monday 8th June, I’ll still be checking emails and messages regularly.

I’ll be sharing plenty of photos, videos and travel inspiration from each destination as we go, so come along for the journey and see what makes this part of the world so special.

First stop: 🇬🇷 Mykonos!
