Time of year and Itinerary. We stayed in Barcelona 2 nights prior. Had a chance to enjoy this delightful city, and no jet lag for the cruise!
Favorites were Monaco, Dubrovnik and Kotor because they were so unique. Did several Cruise Critic excursions and they were awesome! Tour guides in Civitevecchia, and Livorno were great!
Holland is very nice and predictably old school cruising. The verandah was small and given the chance again, I would have picked a room a bit farther aft on the port side. We were in the first cabin on the top floor near the Crow's nest.
We were on an excursion from cruise critic to aix and provence, but one of our por members fell in aix and had to be immediately transported back to ship.
Was an amazing city to just walk around. We went to Prince Rainier's private car museum. Really cool.
Excellent day in 5-terre as we had been to Florence previously.
We met up with a friend who lived there, but the trip from ship to town was a bit wonky.
taxis were plentiful, and the walled city was definitely a must-see
Just wandered around the old city and it was very interesting. Also hiked up part of the trail and was very scenic.
Venice is amazing!
