A belated but useful review of the 2 tours that our group of 18 made in Italy were: Luccalimo, (office +39 3206066859) with our excellent guide Valter (Alias Giovanni) Roman to Lucca, Italy and an excellent tasting tour of the winery complete with 4/5 red wines, 1 white, and a sumdilly-iscous meal by the owners wife and helpers. It was paradise on Earth. Our last tour to the Amalfi Coast, Italy by the most handsome & informative driver, guide, & part owner of Lovelyamalfitours.com (+39 339 82458) by Giovanni Buonocore was complete with even an Italian serenade By Giovanni. Although only 31, he was informative & charming way beyond his years. Even Sheryl (sitting in the front passenger seat) was taken to a far-away, delightful realm by Giovanna. And when each of us was given a hug and our spoken name was cited, we all had delightful daydreams of G. that lasted way beyond our trip to another scrumptious meal & a drive back to our ship. There were so many excellent memories formulated that day. TY gentlemen for your service, information, and a rather full set of tummies!!!

As to Freestyle cruising on the Norwegian Jade: I really believe that it lost a personal touch with not having the same waiter/helpers each evening. Since we had trouble with service to 6 of our group of 18, we were able to have the same waiter: Alan & his helper Rita for all our evenings in the dining room. The dining room "commander" Ivan (from Slovakia) always checked on our service and meals each evening. That was the "selling point" that he earned from removing the utterly, useless Freestyle Cruising from our agenda. TY, Alan, Rita & Ivan for all your help!!!

We were blessed to get the handicapped, balcony room. Much more room than any of the cabins inhabited by our party of 18. Unfortunately our cabin was ALWAYS on the side of the ship away from the port visits.
