depwife Posted January 22, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Doing some research for our May 2017 cruise and have a couple of questions. -Is Mediterranean new for FOTS? I can't find much information other than currently offered sailings. -If anyone has done that itinerary, do you have a cruise compass to share? Would love to know what nights the formal nights are on and if there are any themed nights. Thank you in advance!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She did sail around Europe for a very short time doing trials after she was finished in Turku, Finland. She did sail across the pond in May 2006 and has never been back since. You may find the same itinerary on another ship from last year, but I am pretty sure someone else will chime in on that.

Pushkin Posted January 23, 2017 #3 Share Posted January 23, 2017 We did a Med cruise on Liberty of the Seas in 2011 or 2012. The ports were pretty similar to the FOS itinerary (Toulon instead of Marseilles) (Livorno instead of La Spezia). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mcatmcat Posted January 26, 2017 #7 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I might do the Mediterranean as well but at the end of the season. Lucky I hope to find more info after the ship starts sailing in a few months and more people come back with comments.

Saab4444 Posted January 26, 2017 #8 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Pretty sure we are tendering in La Spezia. No, you dock in La Spezia. Tendering only in Villefranche (if you go there). Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depoteet Posted March 24, 2017 #9 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Wife and I are doing Freedom on May 14 out of Barcelona. I think Liberty of the sea has been handling this cruise for the past couple of years and I don't believe Freedom starts until sometime in April.This will be our third time on Freedom of the Seas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judeniece Posted April 25, 2017 #13 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Hi also doing this itinerary - and wondering from anyone who has been to these ports is there a beach close by to any of them. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapau27 Posted April 25, 2017 #14 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Hi also doing this itinerary - and wondering from anyone who has been to these ports is there a beach close by to any of them. Thank you. Villefrance has a small beach but Nice has lovely beaches a few miles away. Civitevechia (port for Rome) has a lovely promenade and beach. 43 cruises and counting.

Thank you for your reply would ideally like a beach close to the ship that we could get off maybe and walk to for 2 or 3 hours.. I am the only one who likes the beach so they will not want to stay any longer at one so not really worth driving to one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shuttle takes you to Civitevechia in 5 minutes and it is about 10 ten minutes walk from the drop off to the promenade. 43 cruises and counting.

La Spezia the shuttle drops you off at the port gates in 2 minutes if you turn left there is a lovely promenade where you should find a nice beach and you can see the ship docked nearby. When you are on the ship if you look from the left hand side of the ship you could confirm the beach before you get off. 43 cruises and counting.

cruzgryphon Posted April 26, 2017 #18 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Hi also doing this itinerary - and wondering from anyone who has been to these ports is there a beach close by to any of them. Thank you. Regarding the beaches - my experience is that you'll get fine sand beaches in the French Riviera whereas in Italy it will they tend (not all of them) to be fine gravel beaches. Just something to keep in mind - make sure you have water shoes of some kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
