Review summary

The ship and ports of call were perfect. Our only concern was that we didn't have time to explore each stop as thoroughly as we would have liked, but that is of no fault of the cruise line. We would recommend this cruise.

Don't skip Marseille. Take an excursion to Cassis. You won't regret it. It was one of our favorite side trips.

Kamela88 .....you can transfer into Marseille by coach for $23 then you can hop on a little train for a few euros that takes you on a tour up to the Notre Dam de la Garde beautiful views over Marseille from there not expensive and really enjoyable.

How was your time in Marseille port I've heard that it's difficult to transfer and it doesn't even worth it? I'm thinking to skip this stop and just enjoy my time on the ship

I agree with you. So many things available to do on the ship, and not enough time, so we decided to book the transatlantic voyage in the Harmony of the Seas, a sister ship to Allure and Oasis. We will have 9 days at sea, needless to say, plenty of time to enjoy such an awesome ship.
