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

All done and dusted. See my main post

I like the idea however one bud there and one back doesn’t leave any Lea way if something was to go wrong. Loads of trains going. would rather get there and straight back and spend more time local

We are able bodied , it’s more a case of arriving in time and doing something. Today wanted to go to Pisa. Missed train and next one was 2 hours away so patched it tbh I am not religious , Seems you get off ship then bused to port then you need to get to station. other option was Santa marinella which isn’t far.

Hi guys. Looking at doing this tomorrow a couple told us it’s more hassle than it’s worth and to enjoy Civitavecchia anyone done it independently , ship docks at 715am then bud from ship to port then onwards ? Yes or no ? i can prebook fast pass to Vatican but can’t prebook train as don’t know how soon get to station

I’m on wonder of seas at mo in the med. first sitting is 6pm and 830pm. I am my time. Minute I got WiFi on ship I booked up.

Most people going Pisa or Florence on there own will use the train

Ok guys on to day 3 of my first cruise tomorrow and it’s been amazing wish I started cruising years ago Do I get train to PISA or train to Cinque Terre we are undecided the better choice ?
