We are very excited for our upcoming wedding on July 25 but we are also VERY excited about our upcoming honeymoon!! We are planning on taking a 20 night European (Western Mediterranean) cruise with Holland America Cruise Line and we are both very excited about it! We know this is going to be a once in a lifetime trip for the both of us!
We will arrive in Rome, Italy at 10:40am local time and should be able to board our Mediterranean cruise ship right away after our 1 ½ to 2 hour transfer from the airport to the port. We will find our way to our Inside Stateroom aboard the Holland America Cruise ship. A buffet will already be open for our benefit. After eating we will unpack and take a tour of the ship. At 5pm we'll say Bon Voyage as the MS Noordam departs for the Mediterranean Sea!
