This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Two med cruises here by fontoknow
We sailed out of Civitavecchia (Rome) both times.
it should be seen as a taster of the Med.
On our honeymoon, we did the eastern med which was Italy, Greece, and Croatia. I think we got a nice taste of the Greek Isles. Dubrovnik was incredible. As others have noted, you dont really get depth on a cruise, but some advantages acrue including not having to figure out dining, and not having to pack.
I think a cruiseline like Holland America is great for this sort of itinerary. Their ships aren't huge. Their food is pretty good, and their service stand is high. And since you will probably want to spend the vast majority of your time in the ports and not on the ship, having crazy ammenities is largely unnecessary.
