Ban-One

@Matt Hi Matt, thanks for you reply. Yes, I'm referring to the official embarking time I got on my check-in papers. They gave me a time-window (11.30 - 16.30). But in Ft. Lauderdale it was always possible to show up earlier than the official time (window) - but it's been a while, maybe that changed. I just wonder if it's possible to do that in Venice as well.

Hi, going on a cruise with the Rhapsody this month on the 29th. The last few times we embarked in Ft. Lauderdale and were always able to get on the ship early. I wonder if that is also possible in Venice. Officially it starts at 11.30am. I really like to get on the Rhapsody as early as possible, even though Venice is very nice (but we'll stay here for a few days after the cruise). Maybe anybody has some experiences with the embarking process in Venice? Thanks for any help!

Hi, going on a Cruise in September / October this year. Not our first cruise, but it's been a while. And it'll be our first time in Santorini. Arrival is at 7am, departure at 5pm. I checked the shore excursions with independent time in Oia. But it will only give us 90min in Oia. And we really wanna spend more time there. There are busses and of course taxis from Fira to Oia. Which is the better option? Any company I could (or should) book in advance? I know the cable car up to Fira will take lots of our time, so I wonder if it is worth to travel on our own or is the shore excursion still the better option? Thanks for any help and advice!
