[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look carefully at those itineraries. Mediterranean schedules are notorious for having the cruise terminal and the interesting sights far, far apart. Your “Rome” port is an hour away from the city. Ditto your “Florence” port. “Nice” is half an hour. Combine that with the limited time in many of those places and you will be racing to do one thing before heading back to the ship (because it may take you a while to disembark, and you have to be on board at least an hour before departure).

If you’re set on a cruise, look into the Caribbean itineraries because all the lines do them well. And there will be more kids in the teen club.

If you’re set on Europe, consider doing a land tour or DIY your schedule to visit 2-3 cities (depending on time and location).

Or talk with yourself and your kids about what you’re hoping to get out of this trip, to make sure your expectations line up with what the trip can deliver. You deserve to have an amazing time![/quote]
Agree with this which is why I’d choose the Greek isles cruise. Smaller islands are easier to visit on a cruise vs. a huge city an hour away. [/quote]

I haven’t been to Greece so I don’t know but my question was whether a small island would be overwhelmed with a big cruise ship disgorging lots of tourists.  Someplace like Messina has lots of places to send them though.[/quote]
