Anyone have any insight into this yet? TIA I wouldn’t be surprised. We’ve had problems with that port the last 3 attempts. Protests in March at the gate to the port, no buses came in for a few hours to pickup passengers or tours, etc. You could walk about 40-45 mins to get out. Protests about changing their retirement age. We missed our excursion and didn’t bother to try to get off in the afternoon after all that. Before that, protests about cruise ships coming into Marseille. And also weather has been a factor in May and September. We aren’t even interested anymore. However, we did like Corsica, very quaint. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted July 4, 2023 #5 Share Posted July 4, 2023 We’ve been wondering about this as we board Saturday. As long as they find us a replacement port, we’ll be happy. We’d love it if they switched to Monaco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCX22 Posted July 4, 2023 #7 Share Posted July 4, 2023 I've noticed that on this year's Med itineraries, Princess stops in La Seyne/Toulon a lot. In the vicinity of Marseille/Provence, but not as much action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senga Posted July 4, 2023 #8 Share Posted July 4, 2023 We visited Marseille on a land vacation and found it the dirtiest place we have ever been. We're supposed to stop there on our September cruise and aren't planning on getting off the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Luck, fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might enjoy a small group private road trip and tour of Provence and Luberon countryside and small towns. Very nice. You don't even bother with Marseilles and guide just drives you right out of town. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise-mom Posted July 5, 2023 #11 Share Posted July 5, 2023 We are doing that section in September and even though the itinerary says Marseille, the map shows Corsica. We visited Corsica last year and I would happily return again. To be honest I would rather go anywhere than Marseille and that's not even because of the protests etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted July 10, 2023 #12 Share Posted July 10, 2023 When we boarded on Saturday, I asked Shore Excursions, and they said we are still on for Marseilles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
