We are on this same cruise, but the reverse itinerary, leaving April 2. This is also our 1st Viking and only 1 other Caribbean cruise. If you are departing after we return, I will be happy to let you know which excursions we liked. We are taking the included tours in Venice (walking tour Chioggia), Split, Dubrovnik and Corfu. Also, Monte Carlo. In Naples, we are doing Pompeii and Sorrento. We have been to Florence a couple of times, so don't feel it it worth the time it takes to get there, so decided on Lucca this time. We are doing a private tour in Barcelona because the one we had signed up for had a time change to the afternoon. We prefer to do morning tours and have the afternoon on our own.
