We stopped in the port of Toulon, which is the gateway for Marseille, Provence and some other Ocean Facing French Villages.
Marseille was ok. Our tour had a short stop there. Not long enough to enjoy. Though a highlight -we went to the Norte Dame de la Garde Cathedral. It had 167 steps to the top, with truly incredible city and ocean views. The girls sprinted up the stairs. I was impressed.
Next we travelled to Aix (pronounced Ex) En Provence. Cute little town. Wandered around some walk only streets. Had some pizza at a little café. Then figured we had to get some crepes while we were in France!
Review: Majestic Princess
We had a sea day the day before France. Becca spent a little time in the kids' club. Hannah is a few days too young to stay there alone - she's ALMOST 3, but they have the passport info on file, so no fooling them.
So as mentioned we're sailing a new boat for the first time. The boat had 10 days of service when we boarded. Its a larger boat - 3,600 people - but not as large as the big Royal Caribbean Boats (5,400 people-ish). Being on a new boat means it really sparkles - everything is in great condition. The boat has a water show on the pool deck (bleh) and a really high quality outdoor movie screen. There are two "skywalks" - glass platforms protruding over the edge of the boat.
Downside - It definitely feels a little crowded. The buffet is always a little chaotic.
