We didnt take Rome excursion as we did Florence the day before.  Zero information provided on this port, because they expect everyone to do Rome.  The port, Civitavecchia - no information provided, including the fact that their shops close from 12-4pm [even on the Saturday we visited].

Absolutely nothing to do in this port and by far the biggest and poorest port we visited.

Rome (Civitavecchia)

This was by far the most beautiful port we visited but we only had between 7am to 1pm.

I would love to have had more opportunity to explore.  We have also marked this as one port we would return to on holiday.

Corsica (Ajaccio)

Probably one of my top 2 ports.  Beautiful.

Seville

Very built up, disappointing.  Not at all rustic, intimate or picturesque like some of the other ports.  Very much like a UK city...with sun!

Vigo

Fantastic day.  Saw dolphins play right next to our boat.  Will never forget this day.  Wonderful memories and experience.  Definitely recommend.

Pisa amazing to see.  Tour guide very friendly and knowledgeable.  This is probably one of  the highlights of our entire cruise.  So much so, we plan to return to Florence on holiday in future.

It was fantastic to be able to see more of Lisbon from the 4x4, unfortunately though our tour guide wasnt very knowledgeable.

We were generally just pointed out:  "here is a museum", "Here is a view", "Here is a little fort", "Here is a bit fort".  When we were told "here is the BIG fort".  When asked how old, we were told "it is very very very old"!  

Worthwile to get quite further afield but dont expect much of a history lesson.

Reasonable sized cabin; small shower room; quiet location [except for neighbours slamming their doors]; must have porthole.  Deck 2 ideal location when pretty bad seas experienced.

The manicure itself was Â£35 approx, and a complete  
 waste of money and she didnt have any nail colour I liked- I ended up having  
 to use my own.I attended for a manicure and 
 change of nail colour.
