Creator's Key Takeaways

We weren't in a rush to get off the ship, so we went outside on deck for a look around the port.

We decided not to wait and we turned back towards the ship.

At least we know next time we're just going to book the paid shuttle from the ship into the town.

It was a really pretty sunset.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book the paid shuttle from the ship into the town to avoid long queues.

We dock in Marseille cruise port on MSC Splendida, we check out the free shuttle bus into the town, but the queues and the weather put us off, so we go back to the ship, and spend the day onboard enjoying what this beautiful cruise ship has to offer.
