Depending when in June - the lavender fields might be in bloom. This seems like the "thing" to go see. I'm on Disney in mid June and we're doing a private tour to see lavender blooms and a few small towns.

 

I agree with previous poster - Marseille is gateway to provence - SO MUCH TO SEE AND DO! If you like art - you walk in the footsteps of Van Gogh, Cezanne, Matisse.... A ton of history in Arles, Avignon etc.. and some other's i've researched -

 

- Les Baux-de-Provence

- Sanary

- Bandol,

- Le Castellet.

- Châteauneuf du Pape

- Saint-Rémy-de-Provence.

- Aix en provence

 

 

Some of them easier to reach on your own than others.

 

 

apparently Rick Steves' book on cruise ports is supposed to be amazing for DIY - you can also listen to several of his podcasts for free to get some ideas.

We will be there the second week of June. Thanks for your input! I will definitely look into his podcasts to get some ideas.

You will have no problem if you take the ships tour , but it is difficult on your own as it is at least one hour trip to get there,you would be very rushed .

Personally I would explore Palma a jewel of a city lots to see have a nice relaxing day with lunch.

The caves are very touristy , and is along way to travel for half an hour underground unless you are a caver.

Thanks for the input Roger! We are not cavers so I think exploring Palma will be the way to go for us.

Thanks for your input Hank! This is a great start. I will definitely check out what excursions they offer. I also recently found the roll call for my cruise (all new to me) and it seems there are some members trying to setup private tours.

Hi All,

I am looking for advice on what to do in Marseilles. This is our first cruise, Royal Caribbean Symphony of the Seas in June. We will be at port from 9am - 6 pm and need to be back an hour before departure. I am looking for best things to do in the amount of time we will have. Recommendations on transportation, etc, would be greatly appreciated as we have no idea what we are doing. Thanks so much!

Hi,

We are going to be in Mallorca in June and wanted to plan some easy diy activities. This is our first cruise, Royal Carib - Symphony of the Seas. We will be porting in at 8 AM to 4 PM and need to be back to the ship an hour before departure. I am really nervous as we've never done this before and don't want to miss the departure. I was interested in seeing the Drach Caves. Would there be enough time? Any recommendations on what we should do with the limited time we have at the port?
