This seems to be the theme of the current cruisers. Dennis called yesterday to say they are having a marvelous time. Emma and Brenna are spending lots of time in the teen zone at night and touring in the day. Dennis needs to be back on the ship before 4 every afternoon so he can't do full-day excursions, but he has done some half-day trips, and Laurie and the girls are doing longer tours. The ship has been generous in comping some tour tickets for them and charging them the low crew rate for the other tours so they have been taking advantage of the ship tours a bunch.
In Marseille, Dennis did a trip to Aix-en-Provence where it was market day, and he said the smell in the maket was fabulous. Laurie and the girls took a tour to Avignon. There wasn't time to go to Florence at the Livorno stop, but they all spent the day in Pisa, going to mass at the cathedral, visiting the tower and baptistry and eating a nice lunch.
Yesterday they were in Rome. Dennis stayed behind in Civitavecchia and got some work done (and had the best lunch ever!) while Laurie and the girls did a full day tour of the eternal city.
Today it's Naples/Capri and tomorrow a day at sea to catch their breath. Dennis didn't think he'd have much time to write or call, but I'll post more if I hear from him.
