The itinerary is somewhat disadvantageous for Barcelona. By following the route clockwise, the ship then has to make the Barcelona–Cannes crossing, which seems to require an early departure. For a city with so many things to see, I honestly consider this quite a significant drawback.
The excursions are very expensive and priced well above market rates.
Marmaris and Kusadasi were beautiful.
Marseille was the most disappointing stop. Without a doubt, Daniela, our guide on the Rome excursion, was the best guide of the entire trip. The least interesting excursion was Palermo, with our guide Antonio.
Wonderful
An excellent choice to remove the Barcelona stop and replace it with Tarragona and Valencia.
Wonderful
Marseille was spectacular, Genoa a little less so.
Wonderful
All the stops were beautiful except Messina
Repetitive stops
