Hi! You had responded to a thread of mine if we were on the same cruise as you, I said no, but actually we are! What threw me off was you said you were going to Turkey, we are not. Did some research and apparently this cruise is a few cruises put together! I couldn’t understand how you could leave April 10 on the Star and so were we! We are going from Rome to Athens, you are going on to Turkey. Also found out that in Venice, some people will disembark and others will get on starting their cruise! We are really getting excited. This is our second Viking Ocean. We are a group of 8 friends who have traveled together in the past.
