It was so interesting and eye opening to see the other side of the coin, I know this Island very well staying there four times before, listening to comments raised I felt pleased for the cruisers who got the best of their day there, and sorry for anyone who was misled or didnt understand.
These forums are excllent to get information, I know when I go to the USA I am not an expert so previous cruisers help. Sometimes there are misconceptions about Europe, for example my daughter had a medicial situation and we found a doctor quickly, you worry if there standards are up to ours, well he served her immediatly, and free of charge, in the UK you have to book a GP Three weeks in advance sometimes.
Tour reps want you to go on their trips to make money, many ease any worry, but for example I understand Rome can be reached by a fast train from the Magic's port, I remember staying in Sorrento just up from Naples, and going to Pompei by tour bus, only to find people from our hotel went by train quicker and cheaper.
Do your homework.
I remember the themed meals on the 14 day myself
