A little cramped for more than 2 people.  Third bed is a pull out couch (not a bunk bed).  Not a lot of storage space.  Balcony was adequate with 2 chairs & 1 small table.

Try to get tix as early in the day as possible.  Not very crowded once you get in, but the line makes it looked mobbed.

Would avoid this tour bus (van) - says that they'l stop frequently and does not.  Was such a bad tour that no one would get off the van back at the pier until they went back out on the tour that they (supposedly) paid for.

Amphitheater / theater is absolutely worth the trip!  Very scenic town.

Hired a tour guide inside the entrance to the museum.  (~60 euro for one hour) Very much worth the money - excellent English, very knowledgable and very enthusiastic.  Would not have enjoyed the museum nearly as much without the guide!

Guided tour (inside the entrance) is expensive (120 euro for 2 hours), but very much worth the money - everything we saw with the guide we did not see when we had visited previously on our own without a guide.

Completely disorganized - bait and switch between the ticket seller(s) and the driver(s).  Waste of time.

Get there early - we were there when the monastery opened and had it essentially to ourselves!  Worth the admission price.

Buy timed tickets on line for either Sagrada Familia or Gaudi park - both of these may see out the day of or you may have to wait a long time.  Try to do either of these attractions in the morning to leave the afternoon free to wander Las Ramblas.  Pickpockets are rampant, but with due diligence there should not be a problem.

Barcelona

Large indoor shopping mall right around the corner from where the FREE shuttle drops off. (Don't pay for cruise line shuttle - follow the colored line on the sidewalk and ~1/4 mile up the sidewalk is a bus stop that takes you right into town!  Cathedral is interesting, but not worth a special trip.

Marseille

Private Shore Trips (with Pierre) - expensive but absolutely worth it!! Starting at Cannes, got to also visit Nice, Ville de France, Monte Carlo and Eze all in one day.  Outstanding!

Difficulty finding our shuttle driver upon arriving at FCO - airport personnel were not helpful.

Rome (Civitavecchia)

Pierre drove us briefly around Cannes, then off to Nice for an hour or so, then to the picturesque Ville de France for another hour or so, then off to Monte Carlo for a couple of hours (including  some time gambling in the main casino) then a stop at the quaint town of Eze before getting back to Cannes a little before 6.On our previous cruise we had such a great dining experience that we asked the manager if we could take Jesper to dinner at a specialty restaurant one night – he was able to get an evening off and was super excited to have the opportunity to eat with us.
