After waffling around for more than six months, panicking over the cost of airfare etc, we've finally booked our European cruise! I finally gave up on trying to do it myself and went to a travel agent. We will be going on Norwegian Cruise Lines from Istanbul to Barcelona, with stops including Athens, Rome, Naples, and Venice. We sail November 6th! I had almost given up hope that this was ever going to happen.

I'm so excited!! Now it's time to start obsessing over what to pack and how to handle the looooong flight. We've already got our passports. I want any and all advice on traveling, packing, and what to do once we get there!
