Wanted to try a cruise. My last experience was 50 years ago and I was constantly seasick. Also did a week's stay in Majorca. Anyway the cruise was brilliant overall. I was a bit queasy the first morning but no problems thereafter.Various trips around the western Mediterranean to view different places. The only trip we took away from the ports we stopped at was to Pisa. We did the easy Pisa trip which was a bit disappointing due to the fact that we only spent 1 hour and 20 minutes in the place, following a 90 minute coach ride there and 90 minutes back. I'm not sure if it is supposed to be around meal times but it would be preferable to go for an all day trip and have lunch at the place.

That is my only gripe. We also did some dancing lessons with Daniele and Sophie as our tutors which was fabulous. We had 45 minutes each day except for the Pisa day and thoroughly enjoyed. Would have been better to have an hour as there was little time to practice following being taught the steps. I think Sophie and Daniele agree.

The food was superb with a choice of restaurants, of which we preferred the Islands as there was a good choice of serve yourself food. The others were meals from a menu. All the food we had was included as well as drinks. There was a chance to pay more if you wanted a bigger choice of drink but as we are not great alcohol drinkers we didn't make this choice. Read more
