Did you receive an email from Royal regarding transportation options?  We received ours a few months before our upcoming cruise and in the email it specifically outlines the two options and to contact Royal if interested in booking either.

We did not. All my information on how to get to the ship has come from this forum! I have also since learned the reason they won't offer ground transportation from anywhere other than the airport for our specific cruise is because there is a Marathon taking place the day we board the ship. Now I'm really worried how we are going to get from Venice to Ravenna!

They provide a paid shuttle service from Tronchetto/Venice city center.  You have to call air to sea to book or have your travel agent book for you.

I really wish they did provide this shuttle for us but they will not provide this for our cruise. I have called, messaged, and emailed and I have gotten the same answer 3 times. The only transportation that will provide is to/from the airports. Very frustrating especially since I see that they do provide this for other cruises.

We are leaving out of "Venice" in October and Venice is listed as our Day 1 on this cruise. Royal Caribbean will NOT provide ground transportation to the ship (Ravenna) from Venice. They will only provide transportation from/to the airports. I find this very frustrating since we made all our plans around having Venice being our Day 1. We will be arriving the day prior and had planned on spending a day in Venice before getting on the ship. Now I'm told we have to get our own transportation to the ship in Ravenna. I'm at a loss as to why they are even calling Venice a port or referring to is as Day 1.
