We had a rough start, but it turned into a fun day. Shortly after we left, we ran into a terrible rain and lightning storm that lasted about an hour. The crew seemed very nervous and we finally turned back. However, we then realized that the storm was moving away from us, so we returned to our normal course. We just felt like they might be a little more aware of the weather and more safety conscious. I would highly recommend getting a weather tracking app on your phone and insisting on not going out if it looks like you will be going through a storm. They will refund your money if the weather is bad and you insist on not going out, but they won't cancel even if the weather is terrible. Other than that, the crew was great and it was our most memorable experience in Italy!
