Glad you liked Ajaccio. We docked there as a substitute port in 2015 when we couldn’t tender at Monte Carlo. It was an unexpected and unplanned gem. We’ve always said we’d go back…but of course we haven’t yet 😊

I thought you said it was a “naughty train” and was left wondering until I read some comments! Will be in Ajaccio next summer on Mediterranean cruise. And Carole the self guided tour on Alcatraz is fabulous.
We went on an excursion up into the hills, then on a Noddy train (bit hairy). It was then on to a bee farm where we were told about the different bees and varieties of honey. It was a lovely day and we have a jar of really tasty honey

I'm concerned about The Exchange venue being on deck 8 as I have booked a cabin right there before I realised. Do you know whether the noise affects cabins close by? Marella staff are unable to answer this question and I'm not having much luck trying to change the cabin. Do you know which side of the ship the entrance to this venue is? Thanks
@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel

Looking at the deck plans the cabins across the corridor 8108-8118 are closest. However, would not imagine too much noise coming from there as there is some music but a lot is narrative. We have not heard any complaints so far. What cabin did you book?

Hi, This is not about the video, its just a question your group cruise. We are interested in coming on the group cruise with you, but are concerned that it may be a large number of people within the group. We have been on cruises where there have been large groups where they take over restaurants or cafes, affecting the quality of the cruise for other passengers and wouldn't want to do this to other cruisers. Have you got a numbers restriction on your group or do you have an idea how many will be going ? Sorry to ask this question it makes me sound like a whinger which I hope I am not, I just want everyone to enjoy themselves.
@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel

No problem asking. We have had a LOT of interest in our group cruise, so it will be a large group. We are discussing with Princess about having our group get togethers/Q&A's, etc, in areas that wouldn't impact other passengers. Obviously those in the group will get to know each other and sit together in bars and lounges, but guess that's no different from anyone going on a cruise and meeting fellow passengers and arranging to meet on a ship in venues for drinks etc.
