We are staying about a 5min walk from the Pizzale Roma tram station, so we will walk there and then take the people mover to Isola Nova del Tronchetto. Happy Cruising!

Shuttle update. So apparently, according to an email I just got from my TA, RC will not book an airport transfer from 2 different airports in advance. We are flying into Venice, but out of Bologna. She could only book the trip from Venice to Bologna, and that we would have to book the transfer from Ravenna to Bologna once on board. She's going to investigate some more and get back to me. I'll pass the info along. If I wanted to jump through this many hoops, I would have joined the circus. Happy Cruising!

Hopefully pre-covid tests are next!

Matt also likes to shop at Tar-zhay!

I have not heard anything about the water taxi. Water taxi from where?

RC is offering shuttle service from Porto Corsini to Venice City Center for $58pp. The drive is 2.5hrs, whether by bus or private transfer.

Just got an email from my TA. She has secured us transportation through RC for $58pp from Venice City center to Ravenna. They also have service from Marco Polo Airport. Two shuttles each morning at 9 and 11. The shuttle from Marco Polo Airport is $45pp. The RC reservation system requires same day flight information to book an embarkation airport transfer. She will provide them with a same day flight itinerary, even though we will arrive 3 days earlier. This will satisfy the requirement and get us on the shuttle. I would suggest anybody booking through a TA to inquire about this. My TA Kathy at MEI does it again! Happy Cruising!

Just got a quote on Mydaytrip.com for a van for up to 7 passengers from Venice to Ravenna for $326 Euros. Service gets great ratings on Tripadvisor. Sounds like great option. Happy Cruising!

Just emailed with my TA Kathy from MEI and she has said that RC has been very unyielding about the same day fly-in requirement for shuttle service, not only for Venice. She is currently working with a client that is having the same situation, flying in a day early to Copenhagen. She did say that a RC representative said they thought you could just go to the airport and buy a ticket the day of you just couldn't prebook a transfer. I'm not willing to take the chance that a RC rep had misspoken, because we all know that never happens. Our cruise isn't until Oct, so I'll be learning more as the months go on from the rest of you that sail before me. Good luck with your travels and keep everybody updated on how your situations turn out. Happy Cruising!

Did you book it on the site? If so, where was it located? Thanks. Happy Cruising!

I checked prices again this morning and they are the same as last week during the "Black Friday" sale, so should I assume they were never really on sale or that they are still on sale? Happy Cruising?

The "sale" prices are ok like @PPPJJ-GCVABmentioned. I've held off on a few things until this weekend and just went ahead and purchased them today. I'll continue to watch prices and repurchase if and when they drop, like usual. Happy Cruising!

Is anybody else having this issue? There are no Black Friday deals offered on the cruise planner for our cruise next year. Prices are the same as earlier in the week. Is it me? Happy Cruising!

Thanks @twangster. I know I'm not alone, but it's all very confusing. A lot of hurdles and hoops to jump through and navigate. In our case getting to Venice 3days early before cruise out of Ravenna. Our pre-flight test will not count as pre-cruise test, because it will be more than 72hrs and will need to re-test in Venice. The cruise is not until Oct, so let's hope all this craziness will be over by then.

I know we probably don't have an answer yet, but does anybody know how long RC plans on offering onboard Covid testing? As long as countries require it? Happy Crusing!

Happy Thanksgiving! My hope is that all of us have so much more to be thankful for this year beyond cruising getting back to normal.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our big happy RC Blog family! Happy Cruising!

Welcome to the blog Dorothy! Happy Cruising!

Add that $60k closet!

Alright, you've convinced me. I'm doing it! Got me with the wash and fold service.

Hello Super Mario!!

Any announcement that has to do with some type of cruising "expansion" whether it be policy, destinations, ships etc. is better than the "contraction" news we have heard the last 1.5years. Happy Cruising!

Shorts are now allowed in the MDR for dinner!

That's where the Genie comes into play! Happy Cruising!

All a part of working with the public. You've got to have some thick skin. I'm sure he's used to it. Happy Cruising!
