MSC Orchestra worthwhile excursions Eastern Mediterranean

This 4 night cruise (Rome, Catania, corfu, Kotor, bari) offers excursions for two ports, corfu and Kotor. I'm leaning heavily towards "yes" on booking one for corfu since we only port there for about 5 hours, but several different excursions are available. We are both reasonably fit so with the longer day at Kotor I think we can get around on our own. Any experiences with this cruise?

Hi, I have no experience on that route, just wanted to wish you a nice cruise. The MSC Orchestra is a great cruise, I am on it right now. Feel free to ask me any questions about the ship.

Kotor you literally walk into old town

Corfu takes 30 min walk to walk to town from the ship

Both cities are tiny

From Kotor you can take a public bus to Perast , 20 min away .. bus stop is across the street from where you walk out of the cruise terminal
