Booked on the Rome for Families trip which was excellent. After a smooth coach ride from Civitavecchia (albeit in the pouring rain which promptly stopped the minute we arrived), we started with a 3D cinema visit to learn about how ancient Rome used to look, then a walking tour taking in the Coliseum, Arch of Titus and the Forum, before heading to Piazza Navona where we had about 3.5hrs free time. The guide gave us maps and advice (as well as bottled water which was much needed!) and we then explored further, taking in the Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps and the Vatican! We also stopped at a lovely pizzeria for some lovely authentic pizzas close to Piazza Navona and ended our great day out in a gelateria! 


Rome (Civitavecchia)

We decided to take an afternoon tour to Pisa and enjoy a leisurely morning by the quiet pool after a hectic previous day in Rome! 
We took the Panoramic Pisa trip which starts with a 30min coach journey to a nature reserve, where you then board a motor cruiser to enter Pisa on the river. Free ice creams and water were given out on the boat and went down very well! Then a short trip by road train to see the leaning tower, which was awesome!! The guide explained about the fascinating history of the tower and we had free time to walk around the 'field of miracles' area and take in the Cathedral, Baptistery *& market stalls. We were given another drink in a cafe which was the meeting point for the road train back to the coach - a great few hours! 


Florence (Livorno)

What a beautiful port! We decided against an excursion and instead had a wander around Ajaccio, taking in the street market, various monuments & statues of Napoleon and the beach area. 


Corsica (Ajaccio)

Lovely big stateroom, balcony good, however as deck 6 was not glass fronted, nice quiet location towards aft

All in all, we had a fantastic time, the weather was great, the service was excellent and the food was superb - we enjoyed it so much we booked next year's cruise onboard!We found that the prices had increased this year and then on top of the usual 15% service charge there is a further Spanish tax added so a beer and a baileys cost us $20 a round!
