Rare AlexisEggleton Posted April 30, 2022 Author #26 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Sorry friends! I got caught up in the traveling and didn’t have a chance to update you! After Menorca we went to Marseilles, and did a lovely tour of Aix en Provence. The tour started so early (8:15) but we were back on board in time for a tuna burger by the pool. The pool service at the cafe and the loungers has been wonderfully attentive. We took a spin class in the spa and the instructor was enthusiastic - alternating between rhythm riding and interval pushes. For dinner we sat outside at Sette Mari and it was really wonderful - the food, the view, and the service. I had the wonderful cioppino for dinner and a limoncello for dessert! James Fox’s Billy Joel show was awesome, and Austin Ray in the Constellation Lounge has been wonderful - we loved his Elton vs. The Eagles set best! Rodrigo is our favorite server there! In Monaco we ended up doing the hop-on, hop-off so we could take in the E-Prix set-up, the Princess Grace rose garden, and of course, the Casino! We had lunch on the terrace at Cafe de Paris, and took the bus boat back to the ship. They have opened a more casual Al fresco dinner option on the pool deck when the weather is nice. Dinner at Prime 7 and it was delicious. Smoked tomato soup to start, then We had the crab cake and Caesar Salad, followed by surf & turf. We arrived in Livorno yesterday and did the Florence & Pisa tour. This also started at 8:15, but was a 10 hour day so that made sense. Florence was mobbed with school trips, but we found a lovely local spot for Bistecca Florentine. We wanted something light for dinner but the alfresco was closed so we went to Sette Mark & skipped the antipasto altogether. The eggplant was so tender, and the cod with puttanesca was delicious. Service here continues to be my favorite! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
