Port intensive so had 3 (1/2) day tours and 2 full day tours so we could enjoy the ship itself. My grand kids really enjoyed all the activities with their parents. Our first Experience with a genie in Star class was amazing. Leticia is awesome.

ship a long way from town, have to take shuttle and when returned from tour on Le Petit train had to walk 1+ mile in heat to get to shuttle bus instead of picking it up where we were dropped off. I had talked to shore excursions to be sure mmy husband with a bad knee would not have to walk far to catch shuttle-- didn't think to ask about return to shuttle.
