Golfinthe USA Bucket Lists
European Cruise Destinations: Palma De Mallorca – The Island of Mallorca, breathtaking coastline views, great wine and a little history adds to the Spanish flavor
Palma was different than Barcelona, but seemed to be distinctly Spanish nonetheless, including the wrought iron railings on upper-floor windows and verandas on the townhomes. One can only imagine it’s quite expensive to live there, but the residents no doubt enjoy the readily-attainable cultural connections and buzz of urban nightlife.
European Cruise Destinations: Barcelona – Drink in the sights, sounds, culture and history of the Sagrada Familia dominated Barcelona. Prepare to be wowed.

The entire Mediterranean region is dominated by Roman influence, and Barcelona was no exception, though most of the city is newer than the Eternal City.

Having conducted our quick once-over of Rome the two days previous, and having boarded Oasis of the Seas the evening before, we were ready for another intense day of history – and perhaps a little breather – in the Naples area. Naples, like other Southern Mediterranean destinations, provides a multitude of possible tour ideas for you to choose from. But be advised you’ll have to cram everything into a limited time window. Ours was 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
