We are thinking about a Mediterranean cruise sometime in the next year and would like some feedback from anyone who has done a Celebrity cruise there. Info. like benefits to a certain time of year, crowds, excursions and the names of particular cruises with itineraries that include Greece, Italy, France and Spain. Not particularly interested in visiting Venice (as so many cruises do) as we visited there last year (loved it, but want to see something different and spend time pre and post cruise in a city we haven't seen like Barcelona and Athens). . Any information is appreciated.

Do not go in the summer. Airfares are sky high and the weather is to hot. Also the European kids are out of school.
