What follows is a post I made for a different thread but may work for your trip.
This was the deal we got:
18 Days Transatlantic - Discount Transatlantic Cruises - Carnival Cruise Lines - Carnival Destiny
Miami, Malaga, Barcelona, Livorno, Rome / Civitavecchia, Venice
1 departure date: February 4, 2013
Prices from:
Inside $499
Outside $649
Balcony $849
Suite $1749
From Venice we took a train to Florence, stayed for 3 days and then Rhome for 4 days before we flew home.
We upgraded to a balcony. Picked Rick Steve's recommended hotels and used frequent flier miles to fly home. All and all it was a pretty cheap trip. I had no complaints about the ship, food or service.
The beauty of this trip is that when you get to port the very active people can run all over the place and the not so active can do something else or even just stay on the ship.
There is no money to collect or bills to split. High rollers can book a suite and inside cabin people can still afford to go and eat with everyone else. A cruise is a lot like TV when you think about it.
