The wife and I are planning a Euro trip next year as well. However, we are thinking of doing a split between a cruise and city (try and get the best of both in terms of cost and number of places to visit).

We will likely plan around the docking city of the cruise and would like to visit Rome/Italy and Paris/France. 3/4 days in each city and a 7-10 day cruise in late April.

Is late April a good time to be visiting Italy, France or Europe in general (weather, crowds, price, etc.)? It's the best time for us to get away from work. Otherwise, it'd be in the middle of summer (July/August), which I figure would be way hotter and crowded.

Appreciate all the feedback.
My trip I described above was done from May 3rd to 29th. During that time and those destinations we had a total of 45 minutes of rain. The majority were blur bird days and in terms f crowds it was perfect. Places like Florence, Paris, etc will be busy year round
