La Spezia, Italy Port Reviews

It was Beautiful, the Architectural designs were beautiful.

2nd time in LA Specia. Visited Rapaalo, St. Margherita & Portofino. Love these 3 Seaside towns.

Took the excursion into Florence. Not well organized! The leather factory bathroom break should've only taken 20-30 min, but thanks to a couple of people who disregard the meeting time, we were there 50 minutes. Also be aware that the drop off/pick up points for the bus are far away. There is a lot of walking. Plus you have to pay to use public restrooms. I also found that people are not friendly to tourists. Our tour was also late getting back to the ship because we were waiting on 4 people who were late to the meeting point. We missed our dinner at the main dining. This excursion wasn't really worth the hassle. Florence was too far away and with so many variables that can affect the timeliness, next time I will just explore La Spezia.

We did an excursion to Florence. We had an excellent guide and enjoyed the beautiful, historical city.

We walked up to the train station about a 30 min walk & caught the train to cinque terre.

We did an excursion to Florence and it was worth the trip! As the birthplace of the Renaissance, the architecture and art was beyond my imagination! Seeing the sculptures and paintings of some of the world’s most famous artists was a check on the bucket list!

Did train tour to Cinque Terre; was spectacular - we did a tour separate from cruise line but could have just taken the train on own from La Spezia and gotten on/off as desired. Mighly recommend Cinque Terre!!

At sea!! And no compensation

Luka was cool. Pisa on your own - rainy day. The vendors were aggressive. We ate there and shopped by Pisa. It was great!

We paid $59 each for a bus ride to the leaning tower of Pisa. We also pre-paid online 27 euros each for entrance to the tower & adjacent buildings. In retrospect, we should have taken the train for 7 euros round trip.
