Hello All Just got this email from my travel agent. There have been increased concerns regarding the future of cruising in Venice, Italy due to port congestion and the ability to control port traffic. And, while it's not yet clear how cruise operations will be affected there, it's important to us that we continue to do everything we can to provide you with a great experience and plan ahead, whenever possible. We know how much time and effort go into planning your vacation, so we've proactively made the decision to change the homeport for Rhapsody of the Seas for the upcoming Summer 2021 season to ensure there's minimal last-minute impact to your cruise. As a result, instead of Venice, we've changed our departure and arrival ports to Ravenna, Italy - a city located just a couple hours south of our original cruise port. We're terribly sorry for any inconvenience caused by this change. However, to ensure you have the smoothest experience possible and that you still get to experience Venice as planned - we're providing complimentary shuttle services before and after your sailing. Below, please find our revised itinerary, as well as shuttle service information for your sailing. Has any one else had this happen to them and any advise on this change . they say the shuttle now from Venice to the new port is 2.5 hrs. Thank you for all comments
