Nice and spacious for three of us.  The cabin had a sofa bed and sleep also noticed a pull down bed in the ceiling.  My son is over 6ft and was comfy in the sofa bed.

Storage was tight, but it was a 12 night cruise, so more clothing was required than your normal Caribbean cruise.

We did a private tour with one Day in Provence.  Our guide was Patrick, fabulous tour, there were 7 of us and we paid €50 each for the van.

We shared a taxi which we picked up in the cruise terminal for €25 to the station from here we caught the train to Lucca, hired bikes for an hour €3 I think it was per hour, then explored the town on foot.  We returned via the same route and picked up a taxi at the station for another €25.

I love this port, so beautiful.  Here we caught the local bus, you need to have the local currency.  It was Kn46 return.  We had a lovely lunch and make sure you try the local ice cream, just after entering the Pile gate on the main strip.  It wa S the cheapest ice cream we had the whole holiday and only cost £1.36.  Lots of lovely shops here with unique gifts. We had been before and already done the touristy stuff before, so it was nice just to wonder and explore.

We caught the free shuttle to th terminal and then from here took the local bus into town.  Explored Corfu town, we did try to find Mouse Island, but we missed the stop to get off at and ended up back in Corfu town, whoops.

When you get off the ship, there are set prices for taxis, we told them that we wanted to go to Taromina for three hours, this time frame is not advertised, but an hour is t enough we have been before.  We were asked to wait and The taxi drive then found another couple who were willing to share our taxi.  It cost €200 return, so €50 each.

I had trouble researching what to do for this port.  In the end we walked around town and then headed to the Beach.  The was a local bus that cost around €1.50 each way.  You need to validate your ticket when you get on the bus.

The beach was lovely, miles and miles of golden sand and crystal clear sea.  Lovely cafe and sun beds to hire.  There were beach huts too that you could hire.

Ther were 15 of us on this private tour with 2 vans.  Time was very limited due to the traffic.  We only had 35 mins in Sorrento and then headed to the Pizza making which was great fun, a fabulous location and lovely pizza.  After that we took the coastal road to Positano where we had an hour to look around and then headed to Ravello for a further hour.  The roads were very very busy.  If I were to do it again, I would just do one of the towns and take the motorway to get there.  The coastal road was very beautiful.

We didn't have comedian shows every night and some nights they clashed with the Carnival main show so we missed then, especially at the beginning of the cruise.This is my 3rd Carnival cruise, prior to this we had completed one Caribbean cruise on the Breeze and one med cruise on the Sunshine.
