We did the same cruise the week after you. I agree with you about Albania, there was very little to do in the town. The weather didn't help as it was raining. I can only assume the excursions went somewhere more interesting...

I can’t believe they’re still going to Albania. We were the first cruise ship to pull in there 6-7 years ago. When we got off the ship the residents thought we were from Mars. I was petrified. The ship had guys with machines constantly circling the anchored ship. Empty half build structures everywhere.
