Review summary
AFAIK this was the first Disney Med cruise, and we won it for 2 adults plus our 9-year-old son from America's Funniest Videos (AFV). The itinerary listed here isn't quite what I remember though: definitely started in Barcelona, but don't remember Malta at all (would have wanted to see the sets used in the Popeye movie if they were still around), yet the other stops of Palermo, Naples, Civitavecchia are remembered. There was another stop in northern Italy, could have been La Spezia. Don't remember Corsica at all. Definitely did Villefranche, as we took the excursion into Monaco to see the car museum. I definitely remember a stop in Marseilles that isn't listed in the official itinerary... Unfortunately, our flight schedule didn't permit doing any sightseeing or stay in Barcelona on either end. My son loved it, even when we insisted on him taking time out every day to do school work the teacher had given us. There were many repeat cruisers on this trip, and the attention that Disney pays to maintenance and making things go smoothly was very obvious. Very few times that things seemed to go wrong, thankfully, considering this was the first trip in the area.Embarkation
