After three full days of activity—embarkation, exploring Naples, Italy, and touring Taormina in Sicily—we finally got our only sea day as we sailed from Messina, Sicily toward Santorini, Greece on Royal Caribbean’s Brilliance of the Seas. This was exactly the reset we needed.In this video we share a slower, more relaxed day at sea. We talk about the route as we leave Messina and head east, including the Strait of Messina (with Sicily on one side and the Calabria region of mainland Italy on the other), distant views of Mt. Etna, the open Ionian Sea, and the transition into the Aegean as we approach the Cyclades and Santorini’s dramatic volcanic caldera and cliffside villages. We also cover some of the ship’s specialty restaurants, the evening entertainment, and a couple of exciting future cruise bookings we made while on board.What we cover: Leaving Messina and sailing past the Strait of Messina with views toward mainland Italy and Mt. Etna Crossing the Ionian Sea toward the Aegean and the Greek islands A much-needed day to slow down after embarkation, Naples, and Taormina Specialty dining on Brilliance of the Seas: Giovanni’s Table (Italian) and Chops Grille (steakhouse) Evening entertainment, including the juggler and the Tango Buenos Aires (Viva Buenos Aires) production show Booking two upcoming cruises: one on Legend of the Seas and another on Celebrity Cruises (part of the Royal Caribbean Group) sailing from Los Angeles to Chile in South America Sea days hit differently after a few busy port days, and this one gave us a chance to actually enjoy the ship, the ocean views, good food, and a little downtime together. If you like cruise content that mixes the journey with the ship itself, this one is for you.Subscribe to Dave & Kathy Unplugged for more from this Mediterranean trip and our other travel and RV adventures.
