We are first time cruisers and would like to get some insights on Excursions and self tours at various ports.
We have been very occupied at work recently and I have now started serious research, not much time but that's what we got.

Thanks for your help. I have added the Cruise ticker.

Which ports are you going to?

Also, there is a "port chat" area on this site that has some great information.

Well, not really. It appears you didn't select the BB Code option which is the only one that works here. HTML won't work. There are three code choices at the ticker websites. Be sure to use the BB option.

I just checked the RC Web site, and the ports of call are:
Barcelona, Spain;
Cannes (Monte Carlo), France;
Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Italy;
Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy;
Naples, Capri, Italy;
Venice, Italy;
Split, Croatia;
Valletta, Malta;
Barcelona, Spain

Here are a few threads from our Europe Port Chat Forum to get you started:

Excursions - Mediterranean

Carnival Freedom Eastern Med Review (Although you are going to the Western Med, several of your ports overlap, and this is an excellent and thorough review)

I also changed the title of your post to hopefully generate more responses.
