Images of the Mediterranean X811

[pkfamily]

Has anyone done the P & O cruise images of the Mediterranean cruise?

 

What are the parts not to miss?

 

Has anyone been on Oriana since the re-fit and how good is it?

What ports are you visiting?, a lot of the Med cruises have different titles.

 

I did a Med cruise on Arcadia in June /July this year visiting Rome, Pisa/Florence/Barcelona/ Gib/Alicante we didn't get to Cannes as the tenders couldn't be lowered due to a swell which was disappointing as we had planned a tour to Monte Carlo.

 

If you would like to see some photos of this cruise here is a link:

I HAVE ALSO ANSWERED YOUR ROME QUERY ON ANOTHER THREAD.

Many thanks Sue.

 

We visit a lot of the places you did and the photos are very good, many thanks for that.

 

We are visiting Barcelona, Monte Carlo, Rome, Naples, Palermo, Valencia, and Gibraltar.

 

Good point about Rome we have been there before but our friends on the same trip have not.

 

The food photos are also very interesting for us new to cruise types. I am already sure we will cruise again if the people on the cruise are half as friendly as the people on here are.
