Ports of call

Gibraltar (U.K.)

5 out of 5
We did an excursion to Europa Point, the southernmost tip of Gibraltar looking out to Africa. Also up to St Michael's cave to see the stalactites and the Apes den to see the Barbary Apes! Decided to make our own way back to the ship so we could venture through the shopping area and stop for lunch! Fabulous day!

Cadiz (Seville), Spain

5 out of 5
No excursion, just walked off ship into a beautiful moorish town. Cathedral visit a must. Beautiful beach too!

Bilbao, Spain

5 out of 5
Weather was so bad we decided to stay onboard the ship. However, many people did disembark and had a great time! ☔️☔️

La Rochelle, France

5 out of 5
No excursion. Shuttle buses were laid on by Princess and it was a 15-20 minute drive into town. La Rochelle is a beautiful typically French town with archways everywhere and shuttered windows. The harbour has towers adorning the entrance and it is a good walk right around from one to the other with lots to explore on the way. Also a big wheel for those aerial shots!

Cartagena, Spain

5 out of 5
No excursion. Walked through palm tree lined Marina into town. Beautiful tiled pedestrianised shopping area led us up to a historical site and amphitheatre. Loved it! ❤️

Malaga, Spain

5 out of 5
No excursion. Walked into town in 10 minutes. Beautiful beach. Lighthouse was focal point to get us back to the ship. Walked for miles, up to viewpoint overlooking old bull ring and down other side through traditional residential area.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Bit of a delay (up to 40mins) but not a problem for us as we had allowed ourselves plenty of time before our connecting flight.
