so i have spoken to rc excursions and oia on own and oia and fira guided both included return coach travel from the tender and return. no longer are you left to get cable car

hi guys normally explore ourselves however in reading reviews seems that if you don’t book an official tour could take you hours to get off ship ? we are sailing next saturday from ravenna first stop santorini on monday Anyone been on any of these below and any recommendations. We are mid 50s and fit looks like all the tours finish in fira and you need to get cable car for the tender ? had a wee look and one other ship arriving same time and leaves hour earlier as attatched when do you arrange tender if your doing your own thing ? is it day before ? thanks in advance

thanks for that extremely helpful. much appreciated

so did you organise that on the ship for the return ?

iglu are saying £176 for 2 persons that’s a rip off

i’m doing it july 27th. did you book cruise direct with RC ?

hi guys booked cruise only and arriving a few days early to see florence etc. called up for shuttle cost and RC told me i need to do it via iglu cruises whom i booked with. bit strange !!! there wanting £176 for 2 persons return seems steep. Any other options ? train doesn’t look that frequent to ravenna

hi there i sent you a private message

so i have only been on 2 cruises wonder of seas and this one. on this cruise i had a promenade view with a room up above and a room below there was no reason for the noise !!! i totally now agree with above comment re going for wonder of seas to this ship the class is night and day however the level of service at guest services etc should be same

friends were next cabin not any noise. wasn’t air con

we’ll just off this ship on sunday and i think i made a mistake first ever cruise on wonder of seas last year then in this last week the standards are night and day (1) issue with my room - mechanical noise all night in roof space ( deck 7) couldn’t sort it and couldn’t move us as said ship full (2) Guest services atrocious and not interested (3) no proper live shows like wonder of seas (4) toilet urinals not dispersing on several floors (5) my time dining went at 745pm one night couldn’t get booked waited till 915pm to get seated at 945pm still no food as was other guests next to us. - 1 server. had to go and hunt down restaurant manager to sort (6) Barr montenegro was ships first visit to this port. why no KOTOR. don’t bother getting off ship i have sent a complaint to RC customer services whilst i was cruising. be interesting how long they take to address it. stateroom floor manager thought he was at an auction offering me 10% then 15 then 20% off next cruise. don’t think so !!!! paltry few hundred off room rate excl taxes in next cruise won’t be on these size or class again. shambles

last august went in wonder of seas and managed to get deluxe package 3 weeks prior to cruise for £530 for 2 of us via call centre. im out on explorer in june 25th and it’s £928 for 2. no chance am i paying that can you still get free tea , coffee and soft drinks at certain outlets as there was a place on boardwalk on wonder that never charged don’t know set up on other ships

Ship docked at Naples total dump of a city , streets and buildings filthy , took train to Pompeii Ooft I will be honest not really in to archeology but thought worth a wander lasted 30 mins Everything looked same , a few heads up if coming on this trip. Do AMALFI or Capri or stay on ship.

Hi guys last day tommorow. Totally undecided. Help

Ok guys day started off a bit of nightmare had phone in airplane mode so clocks went forward an hour last night and I lost an hour left ship about 8am we thought was 7pm, There’s a transfer from port to station 3 euro each. We then got in train to terminal and started off with coliseum, then Trevi fountain then Spanish steps , Vatican , St. Paul’s square we were back on ship for 4pm with a cut off of 730pm there are loads of trains , metros. A wee tip is book the Vatican in advance we ended up paying an extra 20 euro each ad had to buy from third party on arrival at station ad was sold out. The coliseum viewed external no drama to go inside don’t be put off by people saying too far away
