Ballerinamom Posted June 7, 2012 #1 Share Posted June 7, 2012 My husband and I will be taking our 25th anniversary celebration cruise on 9/15/12 from Barcelona and are new to this - could you please offer advice for the best shore excursions in each port? I think we have Rome covered but unsure about Nice, Provence, etc. Thanks very much for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted June 7, 2012 #2 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Consider some of the ship offered DIY the Pisa & Florence a good choice...For our first time visit to these ports and not a fan of ship excursions these ended up working out well for our LOS to the western med this past August...Enjoy this amazing itinerary !!

Rare mskaufman Posted June 7, 2012 #3 Share Posted June 7, 2012 We are going in three weeks. I will be able to tell what we did but it will be difficult for anyone to tell you what is best for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loonbeam Posted June 7, 2012 #5 Share Posted June 7, 2012 You should post on the roll call for your cruise and see if people have smaller tours to share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, We will be on the ship with you, we are celebrating our 50th anniversary and my birthday, and my husbands birthday. This is our first time cruising and if you have had any good advice on France let me know. Did you sign up for the amalfi coast. I emailed lady golfer but got no response. Keep me up to date on what you learn. Thanks. Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelhyper Posted July 8, 2012 #11 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I'll be on this cruise the week after you. Check out the 9/22 rollcall for some inspiration. The thread is a little long but I can give you some idea as to what some of our group is doing: Provence: Some people are doing a wine tour through provence wine tours while a lot of us are undecided. It's a tricky port thanks to the Sunday stop. I might do something through the cruise ship. Villefranche: I know some people are booking a trip that includes Eze and Monaco. I think it's through Riviera Premium Tours. Florence/Pisa: I know one group is planning an excursion to both cities but I don't know who it is through. User melbur is organizing it so you might message her for info. I might be doing a cruise ship tour here depending on what I can find from how others liked theirs. Naples/Capri: I'm still looking but I love the Pompeii, Sorrento and Positano tour through Rome In Limo. I'm still looking to see if there's something comparable elsewhere though. I have booked my Rome tour through RIL already so I might do a second one as well. I'd love to hear what other people are planning for these Liberty ports. I'm in super planning mode this week.

Gordo Posted July 8, 2012 #12 Share Posted July 8, 2012 We are sailing on Liberty the week before you and have booked private tours for our cruise. In Villefranche we are touring with Ingrid with Kultours. For our ports in Italy, we are touring with Simply Amalfi. Our roll call is not very active so right now we only have one other couple joining us for the tour in France and still waiting to hear back from others for Italy.

Desert Cruizers Posted July 8, 2012 #13 Share Posted July 8, 2012 If you haven't joined the Roll Call for your cruise, here is the link for you, I read many were planning tours, some full already but you will find more going with you who I am sure can assist you. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1543502&page=3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
