New review post cruise: as you can see from the old review I was deeply disappointed about the Rome stop being on a Sunday when the Sistine Chapel was closed to the public (still note that if it s important to you.). In the end this was a blessing, vacations to go saw my review and diligently called me for several days until I picked up. They acknowledge my disappointment, but got creative. They suggested an itinerary deviation which had to be approved by the cruise line. A deviation is intentionally letting the ship leave without you and catching back up at another port. This allowed us to stay overnight in Rome.
Then they suggested private tours for that evening and even found online an early access tour to the Vatican. We had an evening Segway tour of Rome, stayed at an AirBNB, toured the Vatican, marveled at the sight of the Sistine Chapel and then caught a train to catch our ship before it left the next port. The people we met on the ship wished they knew about this option too and were amazed by our overnight adventure.

I never would have had the knowledge this could be done or the confidence to try something so independent if it wasn t for you guys calling me back and talking me through this.

We had the trip of a lifetime and we were the only couple on the ship that knew this possibility.

I use your site often. I love the simplicity no other site offers. Because of your site and staff, I am able to locate dream cruises around the world that I might otherwise never find. Thank you.

*** Old review when I previously left two stars (It explains their response): disappointed they didn't note that the one day in port in Rome is when the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel are closed. Closed Every Sunday.
