Review summary

This was a great vacation. Overall the ports of calls were great. However I think an extra day at sea is needed to allow cruisers to rest and enjoy the ship. There were areas on the ship I did not get to see because we went out to see the different cities.

You have to take a bus ride into the city. RCL will charge you.

There were no buses left fo go to Pisa. We had to take the train. It was a little inconvenience. The tour company only had 5 buses going to Pisa we were told.
