My sister and I took this cruise two years ago. It was wonderful. Plan your excursions ahead of time. For example the second stop is Toulon, a lovely seaport town that you can walk around at your own pace, then come back to the port and have a lovely lunch at an outside cafe on the water. Save yourself from getting on a bus to see some other town which will look similar. Be glad the cruise has eliminated Istambul. I did not like getting off the ship at this port anyway, too unsettling. Mykonos can be explored by just walking around. Croatia looks fantastic. I wish we had stopped there. Touring can be very tiring. Book your excursions carefully. Have fun.
