taxi drivers were on strike the day we were in Marseille. There was a bus from the port but you had to walk about 10 minutes to fibs it. Then it dropped everyone at a nondescript gate without anyone knowing exactly where they were! However it turned out to be just around the corner from the main part of the city. Lots of people took pictures of the gate to make sure where to return to!

We didn't wander too far into the city because one of us wasn't feeling too well.

we took a cab from the cruise terminal to Port Soller. It was a delightful seaside tourist destination. We rode the quaint little tram back to Soller station and then changed to the equally quaint little train back to Palma. If passes through magnificent mountain scenery. Another taxi took us back to the cruise terminal ending a really greet adventure in the limited time available in port.

A port bus took us part of the way where we changed to a turn bus to go to the railway station. Staff on the turn bus were rude and had no customer service focus or skills. The train trip into Rome takes about an hour.

Naples is a dirty city but that is part of the attraction. We took the team that departs right outside the cruise terminal and then took the local train to Sorrento where we spent of the day.

We spent two days in Barcelona before the cruise and one at the end. Ever away of the notorious pick pockets we explored Barcelona using public transport. We found Barcelona a delightful city.
