  1. I'm not sure there is another food item on all of RC that gets such mixed reviews as the kummelweck. The quality and reviews for it seem to vary from ship to ship and cruise to cruise. Happy Cruising!
  2. We're in a GS now, suite 1060. It's got I believe the biggest balcony for its size on board, looking at the deck plans. Don't need 2bdrms, so if we bid, it would only be for an OS or the RS. Not sure it's worth giving up that balcony. We'll see. Happy Cruising!
  3. Just got an email today with a chance to bid on Royal Up opportunities for our Greek Isle cruise leaving Oct 9th on Brilliance of the Seas. Isn't this kind of early? Here are the minimum bids. Royal Suite $455 Owners Suite 2bd $300 Owners Suite $225 Grand Suite $205 Any thoughts? How do these minimum bids compare to your comparable cruise? Happy Cruising!
  4. What are people's thoughts about carrying their full passport vs a passport card while off the ship. Since we have both, I'm leaning toward just carrying the card and leaving the full passport back on ship in the safe. I'm sorry if this has already been answered. I tried searching for this specific topic but couldn't find one. There are a lot of threads here! Does anybody have a passport and vaccine card case that they like? Just one that just carries them both. I don't need any other bells and whistles. Happy Cruising!
  5. We're not sailing until Oct, so we might have to wait a little longer.
  6. How soon before your cruise is this posted? We haven't sailed since the apps started. Happy Cruising!
  7. It might Not be an option at this point, being it's only a couple of weeks away, but have you considered flying out of Bologna? It's only about 1.5 hrs from Ravenna. Happy Cruising?
  8. We stayed at the Seaport Boston a few years back and it was fantastic! Surrounded by great restaurants and only about a 10min taxi or Uber ride to the cruise terminal.
  9. "Boy, those French. They have a different word for everything!" Happy Cruising!
  10. Good luck to you with that. Happy Cruising!
  11. Before we got our arrangements worked out, I looked at mydaytrip.com. They seemed to be the most reasonable, still not cheap, but.
  12. So we are flying into Venice but flying out of Bologna. Our TA could book the shuttle from Venice to Ravenna, but not from Ravenna to Bologna. RC told her that we would have to book that on board. They could only book round trip shuttles to and from the same destination in advance. Huh? Happy Cruising!
  13. I'd have to agree from what I've read here over the years. Happy Cruising!
  14. We've been very happy with Kathy Geiger. Happy Cruising!
  15. Definitely great news! It wasn't long ago we were going to need 3 covid tests getting to and from our Greek Isle cruise in Oct, but as of Sat, we'll only need the one to board the cruise. Hopefully by Oct that one will disappear too. Happy Cruising!
  16. Don't miss the Tutti Bar on sea days in the MDR! I hope it's back after Covid. Anybody know? Happy Cruising!
  17. The Isola Nova del Tronchetto is the people mover station near the cruise terminal in Venice. This is where the busses leave from. I'm not sure where you are staying, but if you have access to the Vaporetto, you can take the #2 and there is a Tronchetto Mercato stop which would only be a short walk to the station. This would be your least expensive option. This is what we are doing in Oct. Happy Cruising.
  18. It really all depends on what type of activities we are interested in. As far as the MDR, we always choose My Time Dining. This always us the ability to adjust what time we eat. Eat earlier if there is a show we want to see. Eat later if we are coming back from an on-shore excursion. Even though you need to select a time ahead of time, you can change it easily once you are on board to suit your needs. Or just show up at what ever time you want and wait for the next table available, like a traditional restaurant. We've done this multiple times with a very short wait. Happy Cruising!
  19. We've also used this and have had no problem getting what we've asked for.
  20. Also, I think dining in the MDR is a good way to start your cruise, especially your first one. Make sure to do the 2nd formal night in the MDR usually night 6 on a 7 night or more cruise. Also known as lobster night. They're not the biggest or best lobster tails you will ever have, but they are all you care to eat!
  21. They're strictly for transportation in and around Venice. And even if they did, I'm not sure you'd want to foot the bill for the trip considering 126 Euros was the cheapest I could find for a water taxi just from Marco Polo Airport to Venice.
