Med Cruise (NCL) - Advice welcomed
Hello going to Greece and Italy with my wife and two teens in August. This is starting to get a little overwhelming with what excursions to choose, is better to hire a private guide or none at all.
Going to Rome, Santorini, Athens, Mykonos, Malta, Messina, Naples, Florence.
Any advice for anything at all would be very helpful.
Thank you

My 2c. since i post in Health and Fitness.. and Cruises are death to the diet; never take an elevator, no sauces, Extra protein, limit of 1 or 0 (if you can take it) dessert/meal. Take your time eating.
WALK a LOT.
Excursions depend on your experience in that area. If you don't travel regularly, stick to the cruise excursions. They guarantee to get you back on the boat before departure.
If you are experienced and/or speak the language you can do a lot more with a lot less $. Take lots of photos and post them here for US! We will liver vicariously through you!
When I went on my last cruise (14 days) last month I took 3-4 photos/day and whatsapped them to my wife. She then sent them to her friends.
My other 2c. is to whatsapp the names to your spouse of the people you eat with, and add a 1 line description, When you see them again, and you will, they think your geniuses and super friendly for knowing their names. (ie tim and Judy from Dallas, Car dealership, 20th cruise, ...) I always send the whatsapp when my wife is talking.
