We were quite disappointed in Marseille - avoid the HoHo bus tour, a waste of time and money, the city just does not lend itself to this due to the number of high buildings along the route.
The old port area is nice though and there must be interesting alternatives - maybe others here can advise ?
As most above, we have just returned.
Villefrance - Had purse stolen at viewpoint so be very careful, I was not the only person. Villefrance itself was nice but had I realised how close the station was I would probably have caught the train into Nice.
Livorno - Did the afternoon Pisa trip which was worth while, the guide was great and gave us loads of free time to wander around.
Calvi - lovely port, a bit like a small St Tropez - plenty of touristy shops and nice restaurants. Would love to come back for a holiday here.
Marseille - as it was Sunday and it was a lovely day we stayed on the ship and sunbathed - this is one of the days where it would have paid to catch a Thomson tour inland, but we are down here by car in September and can do that sort of thing them.
Barcelona - easy to walk around, plenty of tourist sights within a walk of the ship. See the market off La Ramblas, now very touristy but lovely things to eat! Parents in law who had limited mobility caught the HOHO bus near the ship and spent the day on that!
Majesty; Med Medley Thomson trips - which?
