We were invited to CK a few years ago on Oasis. A friend of mine’s brother was Director of Hotels and took us there. It’s always been a sore spot with me that they removed Viking Crown and put in suites and CK so I was excited to have dinner there for the great views. 
Food was very good, service was great but then again we were eating with one of 6 officers that runs the ship! Lol
I’d definitely go back if the cost difference between JS and unlimited dining were about equal.
 
 

The Cruise Compass I submitted (and now posted) was for the 27 September sailing and only a week old.  

The Norwegian Fjords cruise is a bucket list for me. I think there’s only one date. There was an Instagram takeover last year with 2 guys on that cruise. It was added to my bucket list after that! Looks amazing! 

It's not a Royal, but it's a MUST DO!! ?

The ports were just one day each except for the overnight in Venice.  Each port had plenty of time to do your own thing or a tour through the cruise line. 
I think 10 + is the best for the Med., anything less is to short especially if you have to travel from North America.

Chocolate Martini preferably in Central Park 

that looks amazing as I'm sitting at my desk at work dreaming of my Cruise in March 2020.

This is the ultimate itinerary and so looking forward to it next year!!! ?

We haven't been on this 9 night cruise yet but have it booked for next June. It is on Explorer. We are in a group that did extensive research on which Med cruise to take and this one had what we thought the best itinerary. Can't give a review yet but we are sure looking forward to it!        OUR CRUISE

We’ve seen Sherman the past 3 years in St Maarten. He’s our favorite bartender. This year in May will be our 4th and last for awhile (doing a Mediterranean next). Love St Maarten. My favorite island.

There have been a few recent live blogs for Med cruises:
 
Agree that you wouldn't want to fly all the way to Europe from the States (if that's where you are) just for a 7 night cruise, but if you add a few days for a land vacation then I think a 7 nighter would still be worth it.  
I recently did a 7 night Greek Isles cruise on Rhapsody (Venice, Kotor, Corfu, Athens, Mykonos, Argostoli,1 sea day) and liked it a lot.  I thought Venice was worth at least 2 extra days, probably 3.
Also agree that Oasis class isn't necessary on a Med itinerary.  We had plenty to do on a smaller ship (not that I've sailed Oasis class to compare).

I recommend a  10-12 night trip, as  7 nights moves too fast, and you must account for jet lag.  We enjoyed the itinerary out of Barcelona as well as the Canary Islands out of Southampton.  On our next Med cruise, we'll try an itinerary that includes Venice.  For us, the chief goal was to see some of the places we've read about or seen on TV.  Shopping was incidental.  We sailed on the Brilliance and the Explorer.   Southampton cruises are a little more expensive/day then some of the others.

We did the Mediterranean with Greek Isles August (2018) on the Vision.  Would agree with KenCP on the ship and crew.  The trip and locations were awesome also.  We would definitely do it again.

Just completed a 12 night Venice Mediterranean cruise on Vision of the Seas and it was fantastic.  Could not of picked a better itinerary, and the ship was great too.  It is an older ship, but it has been maintained very well, and the crew is what makes this ship.

We returned this morning from Mariner of the Seas and I submitted the weekend Cruise Compass for posting here.  That will have the show times.  

Have you checked with RC to do their Air/Sea? 
How about using a travel agent to hunt down flights?

You each have your own number. Be sure she is enrolled in the program. 

Hey
I work on these almost daily for the agents.  Once we have the denial email, we can fight to take this over to help watch for discounts for you.  It can take a few days to hear, but happy to help.

It was their original plan, but the intern only typed in the information about the $50 OBC.
 

Once again, pressure in the court of public opinion turned this around to a much better outcome, and honestly I think this new approach of offering a choice is how they should have done it from the get-go.
