We visited Cagliari on a Monday which is the day when museums are closed. I thought this may have spoiled the day but we enjoyed wandering around the old town (just climb and you will find it). There were some nice shops for those interested in retail therapy. We ended with coffee and got back on the ship. 
As we left the ship there were tours on an open top bus - a friend used this and got to see the flamingoes which they enjoyed. There was a bus offering a trip to Poetta beach which would have been a good trip for families. They were charging 10 euro but I know that the local bus was much cheaper if you were willing to walk to find it - the ARST bus station was in view from the ship. 


Sardinia

What can you say about Rome ??? It is well reviewed elsewhere. I would just recommend getting there independently. We used the train from Civitavecchia which is the cheap way to do it. Our friends got a cab for 75 euro a person and they were taken all around the places they wanted to see although they had to pay entrance fees. Less stressful than a big bus. 


Rome (Civitavecchia)

A nice little port with a lovely local market as you leave the port. Jams, pates and wines make great gifts. There is also nice souvenir shopping along Rue Fesch. We then wandered across to see the house where Napoleon was born (closed for lunch, but a photo opportunty) we carried on in the same direction and reached a nice beach, after a short swim we went around the back of the casino and found the statues of Napoleon with his brothers. Nothing too stressful - just a lovely day out. 


Corsica (Ajaccio)

We just wanted to visit the church. We caught the local bus from opposite the port, there were lots of us doing this and so we had to wait for the second bus, but we got into the centre of town. We walked to the Cathedral which is really amazing inside. 
We then went downhill and walked round the bay to the left and found the first beaach. Not brilliant but a chance to swim. 
We could see the ship and walked back. We enjoy walking so although it took just over an hour it was manageable. We could have found the bus if we had wanted. 
There was an open top HOHO bus which was being well used. There were about 4 ships in port at the time. The bus took you up to the castle which looked nice simply for the views it offered. 


Palma de Mallorca (Majorca)

Nice and light.  

Location above bar was noisy once the bar entertainment started.  This went on from late afternoon to the early hours.  Do not pick this cabin if you intend to have early nights !!

This was our first cruise without our kids - how big the stateroom feels with only 2 in it!!I got a good late deal for this cruise.
