Well, okay, it wasn’t by myself. I went with my friend, C, and her sister, V. But it was definitely my very first trip overseas (taking the plane!) that I went on without my parents/family.

My friend, C, wanted to go on a cruise (her second one) and since I haven’t been on a cruise before – and after seeing videos/movies on cruises that showed them being lots of fun – I decided it was high time I went on one too. We decided on a Mediterranean cruise as we’ve not been to Europe and we wanted to visit a few places first before going back next time and doing a more inclusive tour.

We went with Royal Caribbean International on a 7-night Mediterranean cruise. The ship was the Splendour of the Seas.

Cruise Itinerary:

Day 1 depart Venice, Italy
Day 2 Split, Croatia
Day 3 At Sea
Day 4 Naples, Italy
Day 5 Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy
Day 6 Livorno (Florence), Italy
Day 7 Toulon (Provence), France
Day 8 disembark in Barcelona, Spain

Our cruise was actually in November last year (2013) and I know it’s already 2014 but yeah.. I’m kind of a procrastinator so I only just got around to writing about it. LOL.
