Following a suggestion on another posting (thanks Geoff!) http://www.pocruises.com/community/Topic8798-8-1.aspx I am now also curious what everyone's least favourite cruise destinations are...

I'm struggling to think of many, and where we haven't perhaps enjoyed some ports as much as others, that's probably more to do with how we've utilised our time...

  • We've never liked Gibraltar much - apart from the Duty Free :o)
  • We didn't really like Corfu, but then we did only walk around the old town
  • Toulon was disappointing
  • Our first visit to Messina was poor, but we made up for that second time with the trip to Taormina which was lovely

Apart from those, just about everywhere we've visited has been enjoyable. So what ports would you really prefer not to visit again?

Happy Cruising!
Danny

Praia de Roche (I think it is?) in Portugal.

Just like Blackpool, and 1/2 hour tender and coach trip to get there.

Waste of time.

Tunis - not impressed

Corfu - took shuttle to town, caught the next one back to the ship

Messina - nothing there

Nevis on new year's day. It was closed! A ship load of people walking round with stonking hangovers and only a small supermarket was open

La Goulette in Tunisia. The beach and promenade are nice and are within walking distance of the ship but you have to run the gauntlet of hundreds of taxi drivers to get to it. Not our idea of fun!

I would be happy to sit on the boat on Southampton water and be waited on hand and foot with all that lovely food. I don't need ports of call !!!!

 

Have Fun!!!
