passepartour

[Michi VI]

Hello, We are a family of 4 from Belgium, our 2 sons our 9 and 12 years old.  We have cruised once with Royal Caribbean and have now booked a Mediterranean cruise on Costa Fascinosa during the summer.  I'm wondering if any of you have booked the passepartour package for the excursions.  If so, did you find it good value for your money ?  Which tours are included ?

It says that half day tours are included, however does this mean 5 hour tours, or only 2-3 hour tours ?  And are only the cheapest tours included or do you have a decent choice of tours ?

It also says you then need to make your choice of tours once you are on board, this seems rather late.  Is there enough availability on the tours, or do these tours fill up well before the ship sails ?

Any info would be very welcome.

Well to be honest they are not much cheaper than normal single tours. As there re four of you may find it better to select tours that interest you and the family rather than those on offer with the package. A lot of the POC in the 'Med' can be done either by taxi or the HOHO buses even if you just want to see one or two places on the bus route. I.E Barcelona is very easy by the Metro. with local bus into town right outside terminal.

 

The tours offered on that package can be short as three hours often not what you even wanted to do, as they are changed to suit number booking them.
