Thank You for sharing! Not sure why RC does not allow you to book the excursions they are offering for the Day 2 Montenegro. I would much rather use a smaller company. This is our plan at the other ports, as far as using a private company to drive us from place-to-place. Please let us know the details and we'd love to join in with you in booking it.

Do you have to boost before cruises?

Contact Discovery Tours. They are THE best tour company in Italy. Gilberto, the owner, is first class!

Try Discovery Tours. They were excellent in Rome. We used them for all of our tours and any transportation we needed for our Rome cruise.

Question: When I booked this cruise, Explorer of the Seas for June 11-18th, the iternary shows Day 1 Venice, 2 Bay of Montenegro, Kotor (Cruise day) and Montenegro 1-7pm, 3. Corfu, 4. Athens, 5. Mykonos, 6. Argostoli, 7, Cruise day, 8. Venice. When I log into our Royal app there is no time in Montenegro? It shows Venice, Cruise, Corfu, Athens, Mykonos, Argostoli, Cruise, Venice. No mention of Montenegro. You can book excursions there on the app. If anyone can clarify.

Are you on the Explorer of the seas 6/11-6/18?

Doesn't Royal Carribbean drop off at Tronchetto station in Venice after cruise? You can call and arrange this with RC. I just booked this shuttle a couple days ago for our 6/2023 cruise. We are paying RC 103$ per person (round trip) for pick up at Tronchetto station (we are staying in Venice a few days before we embark) to Ravenna. RC is dropping us off at airport when we disembark. It is $67 a person for one way.

RC only does cruise day pick ups. Taking the train is easy to access and affordable.

You can call air-to-seas 1.844.278.9745, they will set you up from the cruise ship to Tronchetta transit or to Marco Pollo. We are paying round trip $103per person to do Tranchetto transit to Ravenna to embark, then disembark from cruise to Marco Pollo.

Linda, Thank you for your input. We are staying in San Marco, Venice. We plan on having our hotel take us to our hotel when we arrive in Venice. Are you saying your hotel arranged for you to get to the Tronchetta transit area on the day of your cruise too? Or did you have to arrange for the water taxi? We plan on taking the shuttle to the airport after our cruise and have arranged that with RC. Thank you again.

Italy requires 5 day quarantine after testing positive. From what I could make out from the pharmacy, after a 5 day quarantine, no symptoms (no fever for 24 h, no sob, cough), being fully vaccinated I can get a letter of recovery or chose to retest. This is new as of 6/1. However it’s so unclear being I don’t speak the language. You are right, I’m VERY lucky because if the mandate wasn’t lifted it is possible I would have had to stay another 2-10 days. I want to do the right thing and not get anyone sick. My family wore their N95 mask the entire trip home just to be safe. They said the plane was a Petri dish with people coughing and sneezing all over the place. Sorry to hear you and family are positive. Hope you are feeling well? Great news.. tested negative today!!! Get to go home tomorrow!!

Wordell how was your cruise?? I’m hoping you and your family enjoyed it as much as we did? Thank you again for all the advice leading up to this trip. Aside from this hiccup, this trip has been the most amazing ones we’ve ever done. Spectacular!!

Great advice on the Embassy. I’m actually a block from there. My only hang up is finding out if I have to have any kind of certificate or further testing. RC at this time seems to think I don’t and can just show up at the airport. I’m not sure how I feel about just showing up so I’m heading to the pharmacy on Monday. Any thoughts? Your right in the validity of the test. I do believe I am positive. They gave me the option of getting a PCR after my positive but being I have symptoms I didn’t see the point. I retested today, 2 days after and still positive faster than the control line shows up.
