Actually I am pretty picky about my hair products. However I'm trying to only take a carry on bag on this trip. If I can survive for a week without taking my own products would save so much space. I believe in the past suites always has the nicer products in the bathroom. Side note I don't think I ever paid $25 for a haircut.

We will be in a suite in May on Symphony of the seas. Do I need to pack shampoo and body wash or does the suite have that in the room? Trying to save space in the luggage. Do suite guests still have priority boarding? If so does that mean I still need to adhere to the check in time or can I come when I want? Trying to get on asap but willing to wait if need be.

We have friends on this cruise. They are first time cruisers so hopefully they are having a good time and want to cruise again.

Sorry the port in France is marseille.

We will be going to Barcelona Spain, Palma de Malorca, Provence France, Florence, Naples and Rome Italy on our western Mediterranean cruise. Would you recommend a beach day at one of these ports?

Does anyone know of any witness friends that have tour companies in Spain, France or Italy? We are going on a mediterranean cruise in May.

Thank you everyone for all the wonderful responses. We will be on the Symphony of he seas May 7th.

When we get off the ship in the different ports do we need to carry our passport with us? Or is our seapass card good enough?

I just received my RCCL credit card to pay for my cruise and get some OBC. My question is if I use my credit card for on board charges will I get 2x points?

Thank you so much. We will take your suggestion and go up to capri town with the Funicular. Looks like a fun ride.

Is it a safe area meaning can I walk around alone and feel comfortable doing that. As a female. As far as shopping I was looking for clothes, hand bags, maybe little gifts for friends.

While in Naples I am thinking about taking the ferry to Capri on our own. My question is can we simply get off the ferry and walk around Capri to eat and go shopping? Are there many shops and restaurants in the area closest to the ferry? I was hoping to just go for a few hours and not all day. RCCL has a 9 hour capri trip but I was hoping to not spend so much time off there.

I'm noticing in my search that there is so much to see and do everywhere. This is our first time to Europe so if we like this cruise I'm sure we will be back many times.

This is such great information. Thanks so much for posting this.

We are looking into going to Cassis. Thinking about having lunch, walking around and shopping. This is our first time there. Can we get a taxi? or Shuttle bus? Is it safe to go without a tour group?

We stay in a suite so for us doesn't make sense since most of what you get with the key is included with the suite.

Our first stop is always the bar to get a drink then we just walk around until we can get to our room to drop our bags. last time we just hung out in the suite lounge until room was ready. This year we will probably get a drink check into muster station and walk around for awhile.

wow!!!!

Our deluxe drink package just went up to $71 per day. Kind of torn if we should get it or not. We will be on a European cruise and since the itinerary is port heavy not sure if it will make sense. It is nice though knowing we wont have a bar tab on our bill at the end of the cruise.

great information. I just booked the Renaissance barcelona hotel. Has great reviews and close to many of the sites we want to see.

I'm looking for recommendations for a Marriott hotel in Barcelona. We will be staying in Barcelona for 2 nights pre cruise. I'd like to visit Park Guell, Magic Fountain, Montjuiic castle. If the hotel has a shuttle to the cruise port that would be a bonus. I've looked on the Marriott website and there are quite a few hotels in Barcelona. We have never been to Europe so I'm feeling overwhelmed with all the options and not knowing the area.
