I'm glad you loved the B&B and the city as much as we did. Glad we could help. Happy Cruising!

Two antennas met on a roof, fell in love and got married. The wedding wasn't much but the reception was excellent!

We stayed at the Hotel Moresco for 3 nights before our cruise in Oct. It was fantastic. It was about a 10min walk to the people mover that took you to the shuttle pick up area. If you have some large suitcases, I would suggest arranging with your hotel for a porter to help you with your bags. It cost only 5 Euros a bag. Worth every cent. Happy Cruising!

What kind of socks do pirates wear? Argh-gyle

We've used these on past cruises and they work great. You can place one in the cabin, one in the bathroom. Just enough light and the batteries will last the entire cruise for sure. You can find them on Amazon. They're really inexpensive so if you forget them or lose them, it's not a big deal. Happy Cruising!

First, welcome to the blog! That's news to me as we just got back from that same cruise in Oct. They offered two different shuttles. One to and from Nova del Trochetto to the port in Ravenna and the other one to and from the Marco Polo Airport. I can't believe that they would have stopped the airport shuttle, unless there wasn't the demand for that one, assuming most people come in a day ahead. Maybe they didn't understand your question? Seems pretty straight forward to me. I would try calling RC again and see if you get the same answer. It wouldn't be the first time that two different customer service agents gave two different answers. Happy Cruising!

We always get at least one app, salad, 1/2 pasta and then an entree and dessert for each of us. No issues. May I suggest the mushroom risotto. One of my favorite dishes on RC. Enjoy! Happy Cruising!

I'm sorry to hear that the Hotel Moresco was sold out. We stayed there in Oct and it was fantastic. The shuttle only runs on cruise day as it is offered by RC specifically to get you to the ship. If you want to go to Ravenna early, you'll have to find your own transportation. A lot of people took the train. If you need a suggestion where to stay in Ravenna may I suggest M Club De Luxe B&B. It's right in town close to everything. Fantastic! Happy Cruising!

We just took the exact shuttle last Oct. There were actually 2 full buses worth of people. Not sure why they would have stopped it. It was a paid service as well. No free shuttle to or from Venice. That was only the the first year after they moved the cruise port from Venice to Ravenna. Happy Cruising!

We took the shuttle, not the train but quite a few people on our cruise did take the train and did have an issue getting back to Venice because the trains were in fact on strike. It caused a lot of headaches for quite a few people, trying to make last minute arrangements. Hoping you do not run into that. Happy Cruising!

First, welcome to the family! So, are you coming into Venice a day early or will you be in Ravenna a day early? I'm a little confused because you asked for a hotel recommendation close to the port in Ravenna, but also shuttle info from VCE. A first overseas trip can be very intimidating, so no worries. We are here to help you. Happy Cruising!
