I am a cruise expert! I did that actual cruise with Oceania!! 2 weeks on Italian Riviera. That cruise line is LUXURY!!!!!!! Your footwear is the most important thing! I wore dresses everyday to look chic !!! Beware that you WILL eat a lot!!!!!! But no one gained weight because we walked all day.

@kikisheart2328 3 месяца назад

Michelle, something to consider with your shoe size being smaller lately is that when we lose weight we lose it everywhere, including our feet! 😊

When I was on my first cruise I started to feel motion sickness in the diner area. I was sitting at the table waiting for my breakfast. While I was waiting I was looking at the ocean. It's one of the most beautiful things that I've ever seen but imagine sitting down and looking at waves going up and down. Looking at the waves is what caused me to start to feel sea sick. So I sat there at the table, closed my eyes for a few minutes and took in a few deep breathes. When I opened my eyes I made sure not to look at the waves. The motion sickness went away. If you start to feel sea sick just stop what your doing, have a sit, close your eyes and take in some deep breathes.

Hi Michelle, I never considered cruising until about 50. I had done a lot of traveling before where I would stay (in this case Italy) for weeks on land several times. When it came to cruising, I too was a little iffy. I didn’t want to go on one of those megaships so instead waited until I felt comfortable in my choice of lines. I chose Regent, which like Oceania is in the NCL company. I’ve heard great things about Oceania. Yes, you are right. Med cruises are very intense in that there are few if any sea days. If a port doesn’t interest you, consider staying the day on the ship otherwise you could (will) end up feeling like you will need a vacation from your cruise. On ports with nearby interests, you can just go your own and do some walking around coming and going on the ship as you please. It’s even easier if you don’t need to tender. Highlight the ports you really have something you want to see, and enjoy the day if you decide you want to relax onboard. Likewise, pick and choose nightly entertainment without feeling you have to do something every night. There are some cruisers who do great filiming of ports along with their excursions. They can be helpful to let you know if you will be interested. Limiting the length of your excursions is smart unless there is something you really want to see. Mainly enjoy yourself and don’t feel pressured to go non-stop.

This Pistachio Prada bag is so pretty! Actually everything from Prada..have fun on the cruise!❤

@lonenugget4301 3 месяца назад

Went to many of the same places that you will visit on my honeymoon cruise. I have a useful tip: bring your own tissues (to use as toilet paper) and hand sanitizer to each port. You will be surprised how ill equipped the bathrooms in Europe are! I can't tell you how many times fellow passengers were stuck with no tp!

@liana2136 3 месяца назад

Tissue is not designed for flushing and can clog your plumbing.

@cherpeters8775 3 месяца назад

I got horribly sea sick until I found Bonine. One hour before sailing, then one every 24 hours. Dramamine didn't work for me, but Bonine is fantastic. Happy cruising!

@sandysrivastava 3 месяца назад

You are allowed to skip some excursions maybe try and parse the days out and really only go to places that you want to see or find interesting. You can also just stay close to the port and do some hiking and walking around or stroll to the beach if there is one close by. If you are on the ship they may also have sales on the spa massages and other spa related services so you really can relax and then go lay in the sun. Do create your RELAX Day for yourself. Some popular excursions sell out however you still get to stay and relax on the ship so you can live vicariously and have a few days where nothing is planned. Just allow yourself to be open and have fun!!!!

@TheMicheleWang 3 месяца назад

Wonderful thank you!

@sandysrivastava 3 месяца назад

@@TheMicheleWang if you already have paid make sure to cancel before the excursion starts so you can get a refund. Also if you are not keen on having food off the ship, you can do excursion and then go back to the ship to eat. I have cruised US mostly have not been on European cruises but I thinks ships work the same -- there should be some cafe/pizza/buffet places open on the ship. I really hope you enjoy the concept is cool and it is fun.

@lyns5709 3 месяца назад

cruise tips! We went on a Regent Seas cruise to the mediterannean (similar I think to Oceana). Two days of storms so I suggest to bring non-drowsy dramamine & motion sickness bracelets just in case! On our ship you needed to sign up for spa reservations right away as well as some dinner reservations. I suggest small or private excursions so you don't end up in a large group! It was always easy to cancel excursions the night before. Also fun to get off the ship and just walk around on your own! Have fun!

@janbooth2431 3 месяца назад

This is your cruise you paid for on the ship, you don't need to go on any excursions, you can stay on ship in ports. You choose what sounds good to you. We cruise a couple times a year and some ports we stay on and watch movies, swim, lay out and relax. Enjoy

@Alee-et3gq 3 месяца назад

Get a scopolamine patch and zofran sublingual rx from ur pcp. Get a cabin midship (most stable) with a window or balcony so you can see the horizon. Lastly, just enjoy❤

Get a Scopolamine patch from your doctor to prevent motion sickness! I have horrible motion sickness and went on my first cruise this past winter. We had very windy seas and I did NOT get sick and many people did. It gave me a dry mouth but no sedation or other problems. (So much better than puking!) I never thought I was a cruise person and ended up having a wonderful time.

@donoghsgirl 3 месяца назад

I was just going to suggest scopolamine patches. I'm an anesthesia provider and I offer these to patients who get sick with anesthesia and/or get motion sickness.

@roxannewiest4259 3 месяца назад

You will love Malta! It is beautiful....the Mediterranean cruise is my favorite. Don't think about the motion sickness. When I stopped thinking about it, it stopped. We skipped a couple of excursions and enjoyed being on the boat - getting a massage, having a lovely quiet lunch. Oceania is a favorite of ours. We had butler service on Oceania, and every day when we would return to our cabin, there was a lovely tea laid out for us! Also, the cool thing about cruises is that you can pack more because you only unpack once!

@tiffanytienda2008 3 месяца назад

@YOLONOW5280 3 месяца назад

We never do excursions because we don’t want to have to think about time. Sometimes walk around port or get a cab to go outside the port. Also, while everyone is doing excursions use the spa on the boat. Get a balcony for sure. Oceania is very high end, you will love it. I’ve cruised the world. Think Riviera style dressing. Take layers for nights at sea.

@KariTSays 3 месяца назад

Wear motion sickness bracelets, and also bring medication with you just in case. Try and get the nondrowsy medication. If you have motion sickness, really just the first day might bother you and try not to think too much about it. Try and walk around and keep busy and stay on the inside in the middle. Also, sidenote, please don’t let people know when you’re going to be away in real time I trust nobody.

@emchenderson717 3 месяца назад

I was coming to say this! I’ve been a motion sickness mess since I was a baby and the Seaband acupressure wristbands are great! Dramamine non-drowsy naturals is great because it doesn’t knock me out like regular Dramamine does. And yes candied ginger or ginger chew. Good luck!

Hi Italian here! We in Italy are getting more and more aware of the problems overtourism and crowds are bringing to our delicate historical towns and villages; for that reason, especially during the summer, places like Venice are trying to manage the problem with a daily fee for tourists that don’t spend the night in town. Please be aware of this, especially in the small villages like Amalfi or the fishing villages in Liguria where big crowds like the ones a cruise boat can carry would literally get stuck in the narrow cobbled streets : )

My one son gets motion sickness but has done well on the cruise that stay close to shore. Open water he needed meds. We all wore the bracelets and they helped. We planned morning trips and relaxed in the afternoons /evenings. If staying over night we asked about restaurants that the crew liked. Evening walks are a must.

@catherinelynnfraser2001 3 месяца назад

I love these purposeful shopping trips. You will get so much wear with these for the cruise and this summer. Make sure you have something that works as a windbreaker. Make sure your footwear is water resistant.

@ProfMary 3 месяца назад

Wonderful about your upcoming cruise. I think you will enjoy it greatly. You have chosen a good place to go. A suggestion was given to me by a travel agent for my first cruise and I have used it every time since. Always take the stairs on the ship, don't use the elevators. You can possibly gain several pounds with all the good food they have on the ship so taking the stairs helps. They should also have a fitness center there. I used to get up early and walk around the deck until I achieved the miles I wanted. Some ships even have markings on the outside decks for amount of distance. Most of all, just relax and have a good time.

@jileanong2842 3 месяца назад

@sparklefarter 3 месяца назад

How beautiful, the pistachio crochet bag and the matching crochet loafers!! I love them. So whimsical, so fun. Enjoy your cruise! I too have motion sickness pretty badly but, what helps me besides medication, is being able to have a big window to look out so i can visually stabilize myself in my head as well, being able to breathe freah air also helps. Generally, it is only bad when the ship has major turbulence but, overall cruise ships are pretty stable and you shouldn't feel nauseous often. Woo, even talking about it and imagining it happening is making me feel ill. 😅 Also, we will both be in Italy around the same time!! How fun! It'll be my first time there so I am excited to experience the culture and food. ❤ The Prada re-edition nylon 2005 is my favourite. I love wearing it tor travel and casual day to day. It fits so much as I fill it to the brim. Best luxury purchase in terms of handbag. Haha I've now had it for 4 years and love has not waned. Incredible wear and tear when I have not babied it at all. So impressed.

@elenapolshakov3837 3 месяца назад

When I start listening to you I got nervous about the cruise - I get severely sea sick and there’s no way I would ever brave myself into the ocean cruise (I literally would faint from sea sickness) but you’re taking Mediterranean cruise - that change everything! It won’t be as rough, so I hope it’ll be fine for you. I so looking forward to hear about your experience as I’ve been considering river cruise, that seems like something much calmer. Very exciting!

I've only ever done one cruise - it was around the French Riviera and was such a fantastic opportunity to see a dozen places I've always wanted to visit in one go, like Canne, Monaco, Nice, St Raphel etc. It was a smaller cruise ship and I was on it for 16 days. Unfortunately I did suffer with motion sickness for the first few days but once I got my sea legs, some anti sickness wrist bands and tablets I was fine. I've never suffered from motion sickness before or since. Although I've not cruised since, it doesn't mean I wouldn't do it again. I hope you enjoy your drive around Italy next month.

Good to know about the bags now being in viscose. Thanks for sharing. For years I liked a lot of their summer bags but I avoided them because I didn’t want to pay so much for raffia and then have it fray. Might have to pick one up this year 😊. I get motion sickness too and I feel like I like bonine better than Dramamine. I feel like Dramamine still makes me a little sleepy even if it’s the non-drowsy version.

@kriswright2502 3 месяца назад

Enjoy the speciality restaurants on board, rather than eating at the group seatings. I’m sure Oceania has amazing food either way. Make reservations ahead of time. (Read reviews to see if it is hard to get in). I think excursions are good. This part of the world is so beautiful. We did a Mediterranean cruise last year (many of the same places you are going to) and enjoyed every stop. If you want a really relaxing cruise, take a trans-Atlantic. Very relaxing. ☺️ If you don’t want to do an excursion, just let them know you won’t be going. Enjoy! We’re headed to Europe next week for a Viking cruise. Now those are relaxing. Very different vibe though. 😀

@jenniferhorner459 3 месяца назад

I get motion sickness as well. The bigger the boat, the less motion sickness I’ve had. Also they have food buffets all day and night I think keeping the stomach filled helps with the motion. I loved the cruise I went on. It was the trip of a lifetime.

@emilymajeski 3 месяца назад

If you get to go to Venice…it will change your life. I know this because you love textiles, jewelry, and design. I go every time I’m working in Florence because it draws me back like a freakin’ siren song. Even if you skip ever touristy thing and only meander through the lanes that are off the beaten track (which I highly recommend doing if you can get away from a group scenario). You HAVE to see the Peggy Guggenheim home / museum. I believe deeply that would resonate so much with you and it’s not as crazy touristy near that because most day- trippers might not be so into Modern Art. I have done the gondola ride on my first visit, but honestly if you don’t have time it’s not something you’d miss because you still take a vaporetto (taxi boat) almost everywhere and you see way more that way anyway. Have so much fun Michelle! You are going to be in your element! My only advice truly is to explore as much as you’re allowed to without a big group and try to eat at the smaller restaurants that the boat doesn’t tell you to go eat at if you are able to (travel companies usually get kick-backs from places they send tourists to and sometimes you don’t get the best service or food at those places.)

That deep butterscotch sweater is a very chic color. The skirt is a different look for you but very spring evocative and attractive too.

Michele, you picked a good cruise line, Oceania is a good one. Enjoy your cruise

Hi Michele, the bags are gorgeous😍😍😍, and Prada really suits you! I’m italian but I live in Mallorca. If you have time please take some time to visit Rome while you are in Europe, you will not regret it❤️

My sister is highly sensitive to motion and she does fine on cruises. we try to pick a cabin mid ship since that location has the least amount of movement. Yes you can skip excursions but spend time relaxing on the ship. Oceania is wonderful, my favorite cruise line.

Try to get a cabin towards the middle of the boat it’s best if you have motion sickness!

I’m a stationery nerd and have the Prada x Traveler’s Company collaboration, it was from a while ago but I discovered the Prada outlet still carriers them.

I didn’t go on any excursions but we ate lunch whenever we docked at a new place. It was my first cruise and it was only four days and it was perfect. I was eating way too much on the boat. Ate all day and night lol!

You can skip your excursions and stay on the ship. I know a couple that go on cruises all the time and they never leave the ship. Mediterranean is a great first time cruise. Mediterranean waters are usually pretty calm.

Great to see you. Re Penzy's. They are next door to my fave beauty supply store. Last time i walked by Penzy's they had a "you must stand 6 feet apart' sign on the door. I won't ever shop there.

Do not do too many excursions. You’ll be exhausted. Oceania is absolutely beautiful. Definitely wear a motion sickness sticker behind ear. Works like a charm. Do not overpack fancy outfits. Bring loungewear. You’ll want casual chic pieces for walking around ship.

Hey, Michele. Of course you can stay aboard ship. Oceania is great! There are lots of videos here on RU-vid to watch, too. ❤

Have a great time on your cruise! You don’t really need to carry a handbag on the ship. Most everything is included. Leaves more room in your luggage for all the amazing things you will purchase while traveling. 😊

I’m also going on cruise towards the end of May!! However, we start in Barcelona then Italy, Malta and France. It’s also my first time and I’m really excited ☀️ I will be so curious to see your cruise content :)

I was in Vegas earlier this month and went to the Crystals Prada - it was a fabulous experience! They are wonderful advisors; they really made it a pleasant experience for us. I wound up getting a really unique belt and a really limited bucket bag they’d just gotten in that morning.

Just love shopping with you. Can we please go back to Loewe soon? Their men's crossbody molded bags made me gasp-possibly perfect for a cruise. Maybe you'll take your pretty anagram cage-style bag on the trip!

Loved the mint prada bag, so cute ❤ as far as the shoe sizing, Italian brands have different sizes than the typical European in both shoes and clothes. So an Italian 38 is usually the equivalent of 39 EU in shoes

I flew to Trieste for a weekend last October and day-tripped to the Istrian Peninsula of Croatia. It is so beautiful, probably the most lovely place I've been. I would love to return for a longer trip. You will have a ball touring the Med!

You can cancel your cruise excusrsions 48 hours prior to the event … depends on cruise lines though .. also you can stay in anytime you want .. retired people normally go on long cruises and don’t even de board :)

I always have issues with motion sickness…planes, cars, boats, amusement rides…but I adore cruising! I take Dramamine, and what with the non-drowsy formula…just make sure you take it with you. We went on excursions from all day to partial day. Don’t waste a lot of time staying on the ship. I’m assuming you will have at sea days. Oceania is an awesome smaller cruise line. But don’t overpack! You will regret it. Since you are going from one port to another, you can wear things over and you can get laundry done on the ship! I hope you love it. The day we were supposed to go to Malta it was a horrendous thunderstorm and we weren’t able to go into port. We’ve been bummed ever since.
