Review summary

Over all we had a wonderful time. Our big disappointment was not being able to tour Rome. On our previous cruise with RC the shore excursion desk would take names and if they got enough they would book another bus.

Alicante, Spain

5 out of 5
Stunning views from the castle that was with in walking distance of the ship. Beach was beautiful and right beside the port. 2 minute walk from the shuttle drop off ( free service provided by the port from the ship to port entrance and back)

Valencia, Spain

5 out of 5
Beautiful city. Oceanographic museum was beautiful.

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy Did not visit port

Tried to book the excursion when at the beginning of our cruise and was told it was sold out. If you are going to do the Rome tour book before you board. Severely disappointed as we booked our flight to accommodate the tour.
