Nous sommes rentrés ce matin de notre croisière sur le Bleu de France. C'était notre première croisière et nous sommes ravis de ce voyage, malgrès quelques réserves.
C'est un très beau bateau et je confirme tout ce que j'ai pu lire sur: le personnel: vraiment adorable et efficace les restaurants: ils sont très bons, voire excellent pour le Flamboyant. Une petite réserve sur leurs pâtisseries, pas du tout à la hauteur du reste la cabine: nous étions au pont 5, la cabine était spacieuse, très silencieuse et à l'écart des passages la formule tout inclus: c'est très pratique et procure une liberté vraiment très agréable Nous avons aussi noté quelques points négatifs qui mériteraient d'être améliorés: Excursion à Pompei: nous nous faisions une joie de visiter ce site grandiose avec nos enfants. Nous avions 5h30 d'escale et nous avions pris l'excursion du bateau malgré son prix de 200 € pour 2 adultes et 2 enfants. Nous étions au mouillage à Sorrente. Nous avons du prendre la chaloupe pour aller à terre, puis un mini bus pour sortir de Sorrente et enfin un grand bus. Au final, j'ai chronométré exactement 50 mn de l'entrée du site de Pompei à la sortie 😠. Le guide était furieux de ces conditions de visite et nous a fait courir dans les allées afin de nous montrer tout de même quelques trucs majeurs. C'était très sympathique de sa part mais nos enfants n'arrivaient pas à suivre le rythme et n'ont pas profité du tout de la visite. Si nous avions été prévenu que le temps de visite serait aussi court, jamais nous n'aurions pris cette excursion, surtout à ce prix. C'est le plus gros reproche, à la limite de l'arnaque. la table 59 du Flamboyant: cette table est située juste à coté des escalators de services qui relient le restaurant aux cuisines. Le bruit des escalators est TRES présent. Nous avons demandé à changer mais le premier service était complet et le second trop tard pour nos enfants. Si vous avez ce numéro sur votre carte d'embarcation, ou la 57 juste derrière, filer directement à la réception demander à changer. les piscines: l'eau n'est pas chauffée, donc elle est vraiment très froide à cette époque et quasi inutilisable. Voici quelques infos sur les excursions: Olbia: circuler, y a rien à voir ! même les boutiques sont fermées à l'heure de l'escale. Peut être les plages l'été ? Tunis: nous avons pris un taxi pour aller à la Medina. Nous en avons eu pour 8 €, mais on peu trouver à 5 €. Au retour, nous avons pris le train TGM pour 1.6 € à 4. Il faut descendre à l'arrêt La Goulotte vieille pour le port. Ce train va aussi à Sidi Bou Said mais nous étions un peu juste en temps pour y aller. Cette escale mériterait d'être allongée de 2h, en supprimant celle inutile à Olbia ? Malte: La Valette est vraiment une ville magnifique. On y accède en 10mn à pied depuis la sortie du port. Il faut prendre la route à droite, puis monter à gauche. On arrive à l'entrée de la ville ou l'on peut trouver l'office de tourisme sur la gauche et récupérer des infos. Nous avons fait le spectacle "L'Expérience de Malte" qui relate toute l'histoire de l'ile sur 45 mn de film. Très bien. Taormine: mouillage en baie. Nous avons pris l'excursion du bateau pour aller visiter l'Etna le matin. On marche sur un ancien cratère inactif du volcan. Les paysages du volcans sont typiques et les enfants peuvent ramasser des pierres de laves. C'est une excursion intéressante. Au retour, on s'arrête dans une fabrique de bijou en pierre de lave, vendu très cher même avec la remise "spéciale" croisiéristes 😉. Ce qui est sympa c'est le buffet de dégustation de spécialités siciliennes, très bon. Au retour au quai d'embarquement, nous ne sommes pas rentré au bateau directement, mais nous avons pris un taxi pour Taormine. Il faut compter entre 15 et 20 € la course. Le village est très joli, et le théâtre grec magnifique. A voir. Sorrente: mouillage en baie. Nous avons malheureusement pris l'excursion du bateau pour Pompei. Grave erreur. Voir point négatif ci-dessus. Je déconseille fortement. L'escale devrait avoir 4 h de plus, ou être plus proche de Pompei. Ajaccio: nous connaissions, alors nous avons fait une sortie simple dans le centre pour aller au marché, à 3 mn du bateau. Le reste de la journée, nous avons profiter du bateau pour nous reposer. Enfin, un dernier conseil. Lors de la traversé Sorrente-Ajaccio, nous croisons devant le Stromboli. N'oubliez pas de vous mettre sur le pont 9 à tribord vers 23h pour admirer les éruptions du volcan de nuit. Grandiose 😮. Un grand merci au membre de l'équipage croisé dans l'ascenseur à cette heure et qui nous l'a signalé, sinon nous le rations. J'espère que vous prendrai autant de plaisir que nous sur cette croisière, et que vous éviterez les quelques désagrément que nous avons eu. Bonne croisière, Fred

BLEU DE FRANCE 16-23 AOUT 2009 😎😎😎😎😎
Déjà 8 jours que nous sommes rentrés ! Mais nos yeux en brillent encore.
A 13h30 le dimanche 16, nous étions déjà en train de déjeuner au "Panorama", les vacances avaient commencé : je ne ferai plus rien, je me laisse gâter.
Après quelques bouchons sur l'autoroute, à 12h30 nous avons garé les voitures tout près de la gare maritime : ce n'est plus abrité, c'est plus cher que l'an dernier (84€) mais c'est beaucoup plus près et la machine à encaisser fonctionne très bien. Enregistrement express des bagages et formalités (cartes magnétiques) dans la foulée, du jus de fruit pour nous accueillir. attention, si vous êtes 2 cabines ensemble, vérifiez l'attribution des tables et précipitez vous à 15h vers le directeur du restaurant au pont 8, face à l'entrée du grand salon pour faire rectifier. Avec le même émerveillement qu'en septembre dernier, c'est la redécouverte de ce merveilleux navire, à taille humaine, qui bien que complet, ne déverse pas ses nombreuses centaines de passagers. Comme il est élégant notre bateau ! Sa ligne élancée et racée nous rendrait fier face au "monstre" voisin, véritable barre HLM, bien que flambant neuf.
Le personnel, toujours francophone, mais presque plus français, est très attentif à nos besoins, nos désirs contentés ; de plus ils sont aimables et souriants, bref très professionnels ( les contrôleurs de cartes magnétiques)
Cette fois encore, nous sommes au pont 7, réception et restaurant « Flamboyant » aussi : belle et grande cabine, lumineuse avec double sabord, canapé, lit immense (le lit de 160 au retour semblera tout petit), de grandes penderies, une grande douche.
Mois d'aout oblige, il y a beaucoup d'enfants et d'ados ; les piscines et les jacuzzi extérieurs sont difficiles d'accès : l'eau (de mer) vidée tous les soirs, piscine brossée avant le remplissage dans la nuit, bref un pur bonheur de s'y baigner dès que les excursionnistes partent : ayant pas mal voyagé, on comprend avec l'expérience qu'entreprendre de longues excursions en car pour voir le "site connu" n'apporte pas grand chose : d'aucun ont parlé de Pompéi cette année, il y a eu Florence l'an passé : trop peu de temps sur place. Il vaut bien mieux voir ce qu'il y a plus près: une course en taxi (à 4, c'est avantageux, un musée, les principaux monuments et toujours une vue superbe mais avant il faut avoir pris le temps de se délecter des approches de nos ports d'escales : les horaires de cette croisières permettent de profiter au maximum de ces paysages merveilleux de Sardaigne, Sicile, Malte et Corse. A la lumière du matin ou au crépuscule, quelle beauté !
Parfois on peut prendre un train, c'est plus rapide que le bus (Rome ou Naples par exemple l'an dernier).
Il est vrai que nous n'avons pas (ou plus) la culture du troupeau qui suit le guide : un document papier pour l'essentiel et lecture ensuite quand un lieu nous a particulièrement plu : il y a aussi les audio-guides dans de nombreux endroits et je ne saurai trop vous recommander vivement les bus à impérial qui font les tours de ville : avec de la hauteur on voit mieux (commenté) on est à l'air : Barcelone, Rome, Ajaccio sont excellents.
Pour cette croisière, nous avons dépensé à 4 (adultes) 340€ pour nos excursions, soit 85€ par personnes : taxis - bus ville ou impériale, musées etc, soit le prix moyen de 2 excursions du bateau.
Ø Certes à Olbia cela ne coutait rien et il n'y avait rien à voir, sauf la navigation d'approche et le départ.
Ø A Tunis, nous avions opté pour un taxi ( à la gare maritime) pour Sidi Bou Saïd (40€ à 4, aller et retour, 1h30 sur place, trajets par 2 routes différentes : ne pas manquer la maison-musée de l'avocat : le temps s'est arrêté aux téléphones noirs où il fallait tourner les numéros : les pièces à vivre, cuisine, salles de bain, terrasse au sommet avec une vue superbe ! et plus loin, le "café des Délices" cher à Bruel !
Ø A la Valette, taxi à 4 pour 20€ jusqu'à l'entrée de la ville piétonne : Cathédrale-musée St Jean : le baroque dans toute sa splendeur attention fermeture à 16h30 Balade le nez en l'air pour voir les balcons accrochés, retour tranquille à pied (cela descend) dans les rues-escaliers puis le long du port, les magasins à touristes....
Ø Un croissant dans une main, les yeux rivés sur l'Etna, pas de brume sur le sommet, c'est le spectacle grandiose de ce petit-déjeuner au large de Taormina. Les excursions parties, nous avons eu une chaloupe en quelques minutes : là encore, taxi (20€ à 4 pour l'aller et pareil au retour) : il est tôt, les magasins de la rue piétonne ouvrent tranquillement : tout est là pour le touriste, mais nous en sommes !
Un musée de peinture (pas top) puis direction la lente montée vers le théâtre : le sommet se mérite, mais il y a des figuiers qui dispensent de l'ombre. Là encore une merveille de paysages, grâce à l'audio guide, nous savons tout de l'histoire du théâtre ! Doucement l'Etna met son écharpe de brume et bientôt il va disparaitre.
Après l'appareillage, nous naviguerons avec les dauphins (beaucoup) par duos : un petit et un gros, qui visiblement apprenait au petit à sauter en le poussant du museau : nous étions sous le charme et cela a duré une 1/2 heure : combien étaient-ils ? 50 peut-être.
Vers 23h-23h30, le navire "s'est mis en panne" pour nous permettre d'admirer le Stromboli et ses éruptions toutes les 10' : un feu d'artifice en baie de Cannes suscite moins de "ohhhh et de ahhhh".
Et chaque soir, de 20h à 21h15 (heure du 2em service) nous étions au Zanzibar, sirotant de bons cocktail, suffisamment légers pour en boire plusieurs et pouvoir tous les goûter ! Admirant les couchers de soleil, les orangé-rouge-jaune du ciel, les lumières de la ville comme à Malte : le ou le détroit de Messine, quand les terres vont presque se toucher, le navire se faufile dans l'axe profond ; et la Calabre et la Sicile étincellent de mille lumières : romantisme assuré.
Ø A Sorrente, je dirai que l'approche est moins jolie que toutes les beautés des jours précédents : descente en chaloupe sans problème, au bout du quai une navette vers la ville (1€ par personne) la route n'est qu'un sillon dans la falaise, le chauffeur sans peur et les piétons en grand danger !
Un balade en "petit train" : les écouteurs dans les oreilles, Caruso exprime son talent, repris en chœur par les 20 touristes italiens (et nous 4 français) : l'équipée est joyeuse, on est redescendu au port, le train dévalant la route, on est remonté, avant le tour de la ville haute, quelle rigolade teintée de frayeur. Boutique à touristes dans la rue piétonne (avec scooters), l'occasion d'acheter un peu de limoncello et des savonnettes au citron dans les fabriques. Puis le morceau de choix, la visite du musée de la Marqueterie : absolument remarquable et à voir sans faute !
Ø Ajaccio, nous arrivons en avance et pour une fois nous descendons avant les excursions : au bout du quai, une tente avec l'office du tourisme local : "welcome to Ajaccio" cela choque ! le dépliant est en anglais avec une petite traduction en français, en italien etc. .... pour des touristes français, cela fait désordre en France. De plus le musée Fesch, fleuron dans sa ville, est en travaux depuis un an et jusqu'en 2010 mais même en anglais, ce n'était pas dit.
Un bus à impérial (ville de l'empereur oblige), protégé par une tenture : 10€ par personne pour 1h30 : tour de ville, principaux monuments et statues de Bonaparte, Napoléon ou l'empereur. En route vers les iles Sanguinaires, la route serpente doucement le long des plages (dont Marinella) et le spectacle est grandiose. Malgré les 34° annoncés mais dépassés, il fait bon au sommet de notre bus et les appareils photos crépitent : j'aurai de magnifiques fond d'écran pour tout l'hiver ! un petit tour au marché tout proche (fermeture 13h) pour faire le plein de lonzo, saucisson et fromage, le tout scellé sous vide pour un transport sans (ou presque) odeurs. Après le déjeuner sur le pont déserté, retour en vieille ville pour visiter le musée « la maison Bonaparte », la salle Napoléon de l’hôtel de ville nous sera refusé pour cause de 8 mariages ce samedi.
Nous sommes samedi soir, je n'ai pas eu le temps de chercher l'ascenseur qui descendait au SPA, en 2 croisières, il faut le faire ! Cette année, le spectacle étant à 20h15, nous l'avons zappé, préférant le coucher de soleil après nous être pomponnés et avant les diners succulents du Flamboyant.
Mes merveilleux compagnons de voyage et l’excellence du bateau ont fait du rêve de cette semaine une belle réalité
J’ai boudé Internet mais je me suis grisée d'air marin, j'ai bouquiné à l'ombre de la cheminée, le vent tournant les pages (il faudra peut-être le relire), j'ai scruté l'horizon, vu des merveilles défiler sous mes yeux paresseux, cela fait du bien.
On referme les valises (sans oublier de garder le pyjama et la petite culotte pour demain matin selon les conseils de Maria sur la chaine 1 de la télévision de la cabine), le cœur gros : dernier apéro, dernier dîner, dernier tour au Casino, dernière danse, dernier cocktail : les souvenirs sont en marche.
Ahhhhh le Bleu de France, à bientôt j'espère !
Bonjour,
Il est vrai que l'eau des piscines n'est pas chauffée et qu'elle est renouvelée chaque nuit en pompant l'eau de mer sous le navire. De ce fait , elle est un peu fraiche au départ de Marseille et le lendemain, surtout après un coup de mistral (20°), mais après, en naviguant vers le Sud, l'eau de mer est plus chaude : au milieu de notre croisière vers le 22 juillet 2009, les piscines étaient à 25-26°. Donc, super.
Nous aussi, nous avons passé une croisère inoubliable sur le Bleu de France.
Salutations.

Hi,
We’ll be visiting Barcelona for the first time on our upcoming cruise.
I was wondering if it’s better to book a taxi in advance to get from the train station to the cruise terminal, since there’ll be four of us. Are there enough taxis around that we won’t have to wait too long?
For the return trip, same question—are there enough taxis, since we have a flight to catch? Though I doubt we’ll know in advance which terminal we’ll dock at.
I came across this site below—has anyone heard of it?

Hi there,
We’re taking a cruise in February departing from Miami with stops in Jamaica, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Honduras, and Belize.
I’m looking for advice on which excursions to pick for this cruise. Thanks!

Hi everyone, we're going on a week-long cruise and I have a question: can we travel by train and on a cruise with small refrigerated injectable syringes?
Do we need to complete any formalities?
And how should we store them?
Thanks in advance for your feedback.
Hi,
Thanks for sharing the sites to discover.

Hello,
I'm considering a cruise on the Hurtigruten Coastal Express from Bergen to Kirkenes and back to Bergen over 11 days in mid-March 2027. Has anyone already done this trip? I think it’s a great way to discover the Norwegian coast with the chance to see magnificent northern lights, but isn’t the trip a bit *too* long? There are about thirty stops, but most last only a few minutes, with just one daily stop of over 2 hours, which gives a quick glimpse of a few towns but doesn’t allow for a full excursion. Is the supplement for an outside cabin with a porthole (800 € for 2!) really worth it? It’s more pleasant than an inside cabin, but do you spend enough time in your cabin to make the most of it? Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this journey. Best regards.

Hi everyone! I’m used to sailing on a sailboat with two or three people—it’s amazing. But I’d love to try the experience of a cruise. Just to clarify, I’ll be going alone. My first question: are there other solo travelers on these cruises, or is it mostly couples and families?
For a first cruise, I’d prefer a short one (maximum 8 days). Do those exist? And on the smallest boat possible. I live in Marseille, so a departure from Marseille would work, but I’m open to other ports too. If you have a cruise line to recommend and a destination you’ve enjoyed, or if you’ve had a great experience on a more intimate-sized ship, I’d love to hear about it!
Thanks a million for your replies! Marie

Hello,
We just returned from a cruise from 08/13/26 to 08/20/26 on the MSC ORCHESTRA with stops in Tarragona, Valencia, Livorno, Civitavecchia, Genoa, and back to Marseille. The ship was fully booked. Deck chairs were already occupied by beach towels early in the morning, and there were only 1 or 2 people in the pools... However, on the day the Italians disembarked, there were very few towels on the deck chairs. We found the Italians less talkative.
We had a balcony cabin on deck 9, starboard side. The cabin was spacious, but the sofa was facing the desk, making it a pain to watch TV (neck strain guaranteed). So, we changed the sofa’s orientation to face the TV (we put it back in place on disembarkation day). There were 325 French speakers on board, and a lot of staff from Mauritius, which made communication easier.
No annoying announcements about bingo, etc.—a nice change from COSTA.
For dinner, we were at the first sitting at 7:45 PM, at a table for 6. On the first night, we were two "gray-haired" couples at the table. The second night, two young women joined us but asked to change tables after seeing us... The show for our dinner time was at 10:15 PM and ended around 11:00 PM. We found that a bit late for us. The shows were varied and of good quality. The restaurant menus offered plenty of choices, but at the buffet at lunchtime, there were a lot of dishes with quite a few carbs. Afternoon tea from 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM included some great pastries, among other things.
We had an issue with the air conditioning and bad odors in the cabin one afternoon. I reported the problem to the reception, and staff along with our cabin steward came to check the cabin. The issue was resolved that same afternoon. Two days later, we were surprised to find a bag with items inside: 2 MSC mugs and 2 MSC thermos flasks that keep drinks hot or cold for 10 hours. It was a gift from customer service following the bad odors in our cabin. We weren’t expecting this at all and thanked MSC’s customer service.
For excursions, MSC always offers port-to-city-center transfers for 14 € per adult in Valencia and Tarragona, and 12 € per child. In Livorno, it was 10 € per adult and 7 € per child. In Civitavecchia, there was a shuttle to the train station for 6 €. On the MSC for Me app, there were "promotions" on certain excursions. We really enjoyed this cruise, but we couldn’t revisit some stops (Tarragona and Valencia) on our own because it was too hot. Great evening: Mum49
We just returned from a cruise from 08/13/26 to 08/20/26 on the MSC ORCHESTRA with stops in Tarragona, Valencia, Livorno, Civitavecchia, Genoa, and back to Marseille. The ship was fully booked. Deck chairs were already occupied by beach towels early in the morning, and there were only 1 or 2 people in the pools... However, on the day the Italians disembarked, there were very few towels on the deck chairs. We found the Italians less talkative.
We had a balcony cabin on deck 9, starboard side. The cabin was spacious, but the sofa was facing the desk, making it a pain to watch TV (neck strain guaranteed). So, we changed the sofa’s orientation to face the TV (we put it back in place on disembarkation day). There were 325 French speakers on board, and a lot of staff from Mauritius, which made communication easier.
No annoying announcements about bingo, etc.—a nice change from COSTA.
For dinner, we were at the first sitting at 7:45 PM, at a table for 6. On the first night, we were two "gray-haired" couples at the table. The second night, two young women joined us but asked to change tables after seeing us... The show for our dinner time was at 10:15 PM and ended around 11:00 PM. We found that a bit late for us. The shows were varied and of good quality. The restaurant menus offered plenty of choices, but at the buffet at lunchtime, there were a lot of dishes with quite a few carbs. Afternoon tea from 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM included some great pastries, among other things.
We had an issue with the air conditioning and bad odors in the cabin one afternoon. I reported the problem to the reception, and staff along with our cabin steward came to check the cabin. The issue was resolved that same afternoon. Two days later, we were surprised to find a bag with items inside: 2 MSC mugs and 2 MSC thermos flasks that keep drinks hot or cold for 10 hours. It was a gift from customer service following the bad odors in our cabin. We weren’t expecting this at all and thanked MSC’s customer service.

We're leaving on August 25th for a Danube cruise from Vienna to Bucharest. The travel agency refuses to postpone this cruise despite navigation changes due to the exceptional drought, which include bus transfers that don’t interest us.
Have you had any experiences with this that you’d like to share?
Hi there!
I’m going on a cruise with MSC on the World Europa this coming October.
Stops: Genoa, Naples, Messina, Malta.
Has anyone visited Mount Etna and Pompeii?
Could you share some tips for each of these stops?
I’d like to explore on my own without booking the ship’s excursions.
Thanks for your advice!
hi everyone!
are there other cruise formats besides the coastal express to see the northern lights in Norway in winter?
Just back from our first cruise on the Renaissance, and I’d like to share a few thoughts about life on board. Our feelings are mixed—we wanted a change after several MSC cruises, but the value for money on this repositioning cruise left us torn.
After taking advantage of successive promotions, we finally secured a well-located balcony cabin for 2600 € (almost 50% off the brochure rate). Given the amenities and the ship’s age, this now feels like the absolute maximum we’d pay for that period.
Overall, we were happy with our vacation on board, but a few details—when added up—left us with a somewhat mixed impression.
The pros: - Ship size - Reasonable noise levels, except in the restaurants (aside from the covered pool area) - Spacious balcony cabin (20 + 5 m²) with plenty of storage and a bathtub with jets - Understated, tasteful decor - French language spoken on board - Friendly staff for the most part - 100% French-speaking clientele - Decent food with French dishes (even with an Indian chef) - Tables for two available (though the ship was full, so no changes possible) - Some high-quality shows, thanks to an excellent English-speaking troupe - Interesting lectures (especially on history and cetaceans)
The cons: - Unreliable air conditioning in common areas (you’d go from a freezing lounge to a hot one, as if the system only worked in certain spaces at certain times) - Aging ship with a few glitches (noises, AC, toilet flushes, lights) reported at reception (luckily, our only issue was the bathroom door not closing...) - Industrial, thawed-out bread and pastries (a letdown for a ship with a French image) - Limited fruit selection (often just apples and watermelon/melon) and not much variety in vegetables - Worn, sometimes stained restaurant towels
We’re not ruling out another cruise on the Renaissance—their itineraries are unique—but only at a very competitive price.

Hi everyone! 😊
I discovered solo cruises last year, and it was a wonderful experience. Since then, I’ve decided to do one every year, usually between October and March, departing from Marseille or Le Havre.
I travel alone, but I enjoy sharing certain moments with other travelers: having meals together, attending shows, enjoying the evening entertainment, grabbing a drink, or going on a few excursions. Of course, everyone keeps their freedom—the goal is simply to have a good time in a friendly atmosphere.
For the end of this year, I don’t have a cruise planned yet. However, I’m already booked on the MSC Magnifica from October 29 to November 3, 2027, departing from Marseille with an itinerary to Spain and Italy.
If you often travel solo or if you’re on this cruise, I’d love to chat with you before departure. Looking forward to meeting you! 🚢😊

We're considering a Danube cruise that stops in Bucharest.
Are there any travelers currently on the river, which is at its lowest level?
Hi there,
I’m taking a cruise on the Costa Pacifica in December—what should I expect in terms of rough seas?
contact me to get referred at MSC, for your first cruise or if you haven't traveled with MSC in over 5 years
Hello!
After a lot of hesitation between different cruise lines (Explora, Oceania, YC, HAL, NCL) and several destinations like Norway, Ireland, and Iceland,
I finally chose NCL’s Star for Iceland. I had already looked at this itinerary when I went to Scotland in April with CFC, but it was really expensive. You should know that CFC often offers last-minute deals 45 days before departure (the point when you can no longer cancel or modify). So, I got a great opportunity and grabbed it. Departure is on August 23rd.

Hi everyone,
I’m staying in a suite on the Pacifica in October and I can’t find any details about the suite benefits beyond the elite restaurant, the butler, and the espresso machine.
What about breakfast and meals served free in the cabin, and the spa?
Costa’s been cutting back on perks for Gold members, and it seems like suites are next.
Thanks for your replies!
Hello,
We’re back from this cruise.
Boarding in Dunkirk: The doors opened around 12 PM. Since we were a bit early, I asked if my husband, who uses a walker, could wait inside instead of outside. I left him with the two suitcases and our two backpacks in the small hall while I parked the car in the reserved CFC parking lot for 10 € per day.
The shuttle that was supposed to take people from the parking lot to the model pavilion was supposed to arrive in 5 minutes, but after 15 minutes, nothing. After waiting 15 minutes, I saw a man walking and asked if I could follow him. In 15 minutes, we arrived, and still no sign of the shuttle—it must have passed us. Arrived at the model pavilion.
My husband had already checked in the suitcases with the help of a CFC staff member. The remaining formalities were completed quickly. We were on board by 12:15 PM. Headed to the buffet on deck 11 and waited in a lounge to access our cabin.
At 2 PM, we discovered our balcony cabin on deck 9 at the rear: spacious with a large balcony compared to MSC/COSTA.
Since we were at the rear, cabin 9202, there was always an issue with elevator number 4: "priority."
Elevator number 2 stops at deck 10... and elevator number 3 was often out of order, leaving only number 1 for those with mobility issues to reach the buffet, especially for people who struggle with stairs. Note: only one child on board and lots of "gray hair."
DAY 2: At sea. Lots of activities offered.
Day 3: GOTHENBURG (Sweden). Sunny, 19°C at 11 AM.
Excursion booked with CFC: Gothenburg and Haga for all.
Interesting visit with a great guide. The HAGA district, in our opinion, is full of cobblestones and nothing special, not suitable for people using a cane or wheelchair. Elevator number 3 was out of order again.
Day 4: Copenhagen. 15°C in the morning, showers in the afternoon.
We didn’t book an excursion since we’d already stopped here with CFC in 2025, and based on advice from this forum, we took the hop-on/hop-off bus right in front of the ship. I still went to see the Little Mermaid again.
No TV, but the elevator was fixed.
DAY 5: At sea. Still no TV.
DAY 6: GDANSK (Poland). 15°C, rain all day.
There’s a shuttle to get to the city center.
We took the excursion: Panorama of Gdansk.
The guide left us at the entrance of the city center for 45 minutes, telling us what to visit. Meet-up for the rest of the tour at 3 PM. The bus left at 3:15 PM to cover 10 km to see St. Mary’s Cathedral. We arrived at 4:16 PM... The guide said there are often traffic jams in that direction. We had 10 minutes on site before heading to see the lighthouse and the Westerplatte monument, where we also had 10 minutes.
Many of us wondered why we didn’t do the tour in the opposite direction since they knew there would be traffic...
I went to reception to complain about the organization. The staff member read me the program: we were supposed to start with the lighthouse, then go to the cathedral and stay for 30 minutes before heading to the center of Gdansk for a short guided walk with some free time to buy souvenirs, etc.
The guide did the complete opposite of what was planned and didn’t even give us a guided tour—just dropped us off in the city...
DAY 7: Bornholm Island (Denmark). 14°C, a few sunny spells.
We saw in the excursions that there was a walking tour of RØNNE. So, like many others, we explored on our own. There was a small orchestra welcoming us at the port and two people with city maps. We took the shuttle to leave the port—it ran every 15 minutes. The tourist office was next to the "shuttle bus." A pleasant visit at our own pace.
DAY 8: KIEL (Germany). 18–23°C, nice weather.
We took the "Kiel for all" excursion. Great guide and interesting visits.
The port is in the city, and in 10 minutes, we were in the city center by following a blue line on the ground from the port. Elevator 3 was stuck again... and the TV was back.
DAY 9: At sea. Elevator 3 works.
DAY 10: At sea. Elevator 3 is out of order again...
DAY 11: Disembarkation in Dunkirk.
Cabins had to be vacated by 7:30 AM. Buffet open until 9 AM.
Elevator number 1 was "reserved," leaving only number 2, which doesn’t go up to deck 11... a problem for people with mobility issues who had to cross the entire deck 11 and try to use one of the four working elevators at the front, which were crowded.
My opinion: Interesting stops.
The onboard staff were always welcoming, smiling, and mostly French-speaking.
Evening shows were better than in March/April 2025—better singers, dancers, and presenters, and the costumes were improved.
I liked the "magician" shows less.
There were three onboard lectures by a very cultured person, but they went off-topic and were too historical for my taste. I didn’t attend the other two; my husband went to the second but not the third.
For this cruise, there was a bridge theme, but we’re not players or interested.
We didn’t take a drink package on board—water, coffee, tea, and herbal teas were available.
We had a water leak in our cabin the night before disembarkation. We reported it, and after the technical staff came (with a translator who didn’t speak English), we were asked to leave the cabin for a while for repairs. We went to a lounge, and after 1.5 hours, I checked in at reception. The repair took longer than expected... we had to change cabins... not ideal the night before disembarkation. No balcony cabins were available, so we got an ocean-view cabin, 6075, with a bathtub (impossible for both of us to use). We packed our suitcases, took a shower in our cabin, and moved to the new one. Noise from chairs until 12:30 AM because the cabin was under a lounge, and constant ventilation noise in the hallway... sleep was hard to come by. Disembarkation: Well organized. We were helped with transporting the two suitcases and bags to the waiting room while I took the shuttle to get the car. Guylène

Hi there,
I'm looking at a cruise in the north.Which one do you think is more interesting? Thanks
Hello
We’re taking an MSC cruise in May, and after the Cinque Terre, we’ll be stopping in Naples. We’d like to know if it’s possible to walk out of the port quickly and reach a nice area of Naples on foot (we’re two older people). While we’re at it, I’ll ask the same question for Palermo, since we’ll be there the next day. Thanks for your replies.

hi,
I’m leaving Hamburg for Iceland at the end of July. The boat arrives in Reykjavik on Tuesday, August 4th at 8 AM, and I’d like to book a day trip like the Golden Circle or Secret Lagoon… The sites like GetYourGuide and others list departures at 8 AM. If you’ve used these sites with the MSC Preziosa, could you let me know how to go about it?
Thanks! 😉

Hello everyone,
It’s with immense sadness that I learned this morning of the passing of our friend Nathalie (nadu). Many of us knew her through this forum, which she loved so much. She enjoyed reading your travel stories, joining discussions, sharing her cruise reviews, and offering valuable advice—always with kindness, gentleness, and discretion.
For me, Nathalie was so much more than just a cruise enthusiast. She was a friend, a deeply kind person who was always there to listen, despite the many health challenges she faced with tremendous courage. We corresponded regularly, and sometimes we had the chance to visit each other’s homes or attend the cruise show together with our respective husbands.
We shared a common dream: when we both retired, we had planned to finally go on a cruise together. Life had other plans, and that trip will forever remain a journey we never had the chance to take. That thought weighs heavily on my heart today.
I’ll remember her as a gentle, generous woman who was always ready to help others. Her presence on this forum will leave a huge void, just as her friendship has in my life.
I send my sincerest thoughts to her husband, her family, and all those who had the chance to know her.
Fair winds, Nathalie. I like to think you’re now sailing on an infinitely calm sea, under an eternally blue sky. You’ll remain in our thoughts and hearts every time we talk about cruises or set off on a new journey.
Rest in peace, Nathalie.
For those who’d like to send a message of comfort and sympathy to her husband, you can send me a PM, and I’ll pass it along. THANK YOU

Hello everyone,
So happy to be back on this Forum!
We’re heading off on another cruise—our 7th—after a 5-year break...
We’ll be leaving from Venice on April 26th with stops in Kotor, Mykonos, Santorini, and Ancona.
Could you help me plan the stops by sharing tips, tricks, and advice?
For those who already know me, you know we prefer not to take the cruise line’s excursions but instead organize everything ourselves.
Thanks in advance to everyone, and looking forward to chatting with you all!
