Date Filmed: September 23, 2022
Hello Happy Travelers!!
Welcome to our grand 10th anniversary trip! For the first time, we are traveling to Europe, and we are checking several bucket list items along the way! We are starting in Rome Italy, followed by a 9 night Mediterranean/Greek Isles Cruise onboard Odyssey of the Seas, and finishing in France to visit Disneyland Paris!
Today’s port of call is Santorini Greece! Known for their beautiful white buildings with blue domed roofs sitting on top of the cliffs, this was one of the ports we were most excited for! After a ride on the North Star to get the birds eye view, we hopped on a tender boat, and then rode the cable car to the top of the cliff! From there, we explored on our own finding cats, spotting landmarks, utilizing the bus system, and taking in all the beauty of Santorini!
We hope this was helpful and fun for you! If you are interested in planing your own travels, we would love to assist you!

Loved this video. I hope to visit Santorini one day, it truly looks beautiful. I liked how you both wore blue and white! The hairband too! 💙🤍
Hi Luv_to_Cruise! ❤️ Santorini really is spectacular! I wondered if photoshopped pictures painted a different beauty than the reality but it is even more magnificent in person! 😍 Thank you! We normally don't coordinate outfits but we definitely wanted to wear Santorini blue this day! 😁💙 Thanks for watching! 🤗💙🇬🇷

Great video with incredible colours, would love to visit. So many cats though 😅
Thanks PS Travels! It was so beautiful and the cats were an awesome bonus! 😆😻❤️ Thanks for watching! 🤗💙🇬🇷
Loved the video! That destination looked absolutely amazing and more than lived up to the hype! Thank you for sharing, especially all the little things like visiting with the local cats, especially that mama cat and her 5 kittens! ❤ ❤❤
The only thing we missed was your video didn’t show your meals that day. Did you eat on the island at all? What did you have on the ship? I know it’s silly but my wife and I really enjoy the videos of your meals.
Keep up the great work!
Hi acefox1! Aww thank you so much! ❤️ It really was a beautiful port and we thoroughly enjoyed it! 😍 We didn’t eat in the port that day and I think that evening we went back to Playmakers and got the exact same food we got earlier in the cruise! We ate at Playmakers like 4 times this sailing 🤣 Thanks for watching! 🤗💙🇬🇷
#Replay Binge watching playlist to get some ideas and tips on my upcoming Italy/Greece/Turkey/Cypress cruise on Odyssey with momma-T.
Best calamari was in 2010 on top of the cliff after riding the donkey up. Golden brown and perfectly battered.
Hi WCH! That sounds delicious! 😋 Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🛳
Thank you so much for the video... we are going next year in oct... any advice?
Hi! So glad you enjoyed it! We hope you have a great time! I would say just keep researching to have an idea of what you want to do in port and have a wonderful time! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Wow Santorini is beautiful all that white I need to put that on my bucket list and guys that was a frog not a cat
Hi Harriet! Santorini is definitely worth having on the bucket list! It was so pretty! 😍 Haha! The way the cat was kicking it certainly looked like a frog! 😆 Thanks for watching! 🤗💙🇬🇷
Great video!! I wanted to know how long you spent in Fira and Oia did you feel you had enough time to see everything with taking the bus and cable car back and forth. I am traveling 2024 Odyssey of the seas in September and we dock I think 8 am to 8pm. Thank you.
Hi Debbie! Yes, I feel we had enough time. If I had to do it again I would have planned to get off the ship earlier to maximize the time. Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
I’ve been up and down those steps and there’s plenty of donkey manure and donkey piss on the way… glad you took the alternate transportation.
Yes! We heard that the steps were verrrrrry smelly! The $6 cable car was definitely worth it! Thanks for watching! 🤗💙🇬🇷
Nice Video, taking a 33 day cruise on Voyager OTS on May 01,2024. Galveston>>>>> Barcelona >>>>>Athens>>>>Venice, same room same ship.
Wow that's awesome! We hope you have a great time! Thanks for watching and Happy Travels! 🤗❤️🚢
Hey there, I am a first time cruiser and going to Santorini as well. A few other spots in the Mediterranean. What time of year did you go on your trip to Greece?
Hi Jennifer! We were there in mid September! We hope you have a great time! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Thank you so much for sharing. How did you get the free tixs on the North Star? Did you have to prebook?
Hi Susan! We booked the North Star free session using the Royal Caribbean app when we boarded! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🛳
Santorini and Mzkonos are beautiful but they have been over hyped by TV and cruise ships...a little bit like you can-t even move in say a place like Dubrovnik because of the cruise ship traffic. I seriously recommend that zou experience Northern Greece (Chalkidiki and the three fingers). It is viewed as a cheaper tourist spot, but it is seriouslz one of the most beautiful places in the world. Mt. Athos and the monastic state within Greece is there. It is the third finger (peninsula). The second and first fingers have much more developed tourism and NO CRUISE SHIPS! The city of Thessalonika has a number of interesting sites. You need to see the real Greece!
Thanks for the recommendations and thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🇬🇷
Nice Video, your opionon Book a cruise with RC or do it on your own? looks like too much hassle doing it on your own. which excursion you recommend
Hi! It really depends on what kind of vacation you would like. If you want to stay in one location and explore particular areas over several days than a cruise wouldn't be the best option, but if you want to see a vast amount of locations in a set amount of time a cruise is the best option! I hope this helps! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
@@HoffmanHappyTravels We are on RC Voyager just for one day
8:08 translated to what’s up hoffmans!!
Hey DJ! ❤️ Haha! YES! Only cool people can speak cat! 😜😻❤️
No sisterhood of the traveling pants references!?!????😊
I’m Italian and Greek / I been to this place , Mykonos , Athens , Dubrovnik ( Out of Venice Italy - Back in 2009 on costa Victoria - Was Not a good ship )
Hi Mrcruisefever1! So sorry you didn’t enjoy the ship but we hope you loved the ports! Thanks for watching! 🤗🇬🇷💙
@@HoffmanHappyTravels , thanks & I’m glad they sold that ship to junk yard
