Cathyg I would love a trip report and pictures of your trip. We are considering a trip like this in May 2014 with some friends. We have only been on 1 short cruise several years ago so any advice/suggestions would be appreciated. The cruise we are looking at is on Norwegian. We also start in Barcelona and end in Venice. Just curious, Are you flying to Barcelona and flying home from Venice or do you need to get back to Barcelona to fly home?
