Definitely right on!!

Thanks. I feel the same way about the gondola ride but if we don't I will never hear the end of it. Must be a universal thing.

Thank you. That would be helpful. We board in Athens. Round trip.

One tour is $89 and the other $151 and they sound the same. Lack of info. I am sure they aren't the same.

The translation thing worked great. Thanks. We would like to do a MSC excursion but the description on line lacks a lot of info. Will wait until we board.

Sorry, cannot read German.

Wow!! That is good to hear. In 2 weeks we will be sailing on the Sinfonia. Looking forward to our first European cruise. Have done probably 50 others but mostly Caribbean and Trans Atlantic.

What website? Not MSC for sure.

Thanks. I think I will just take the shuttle to the Venice cruise terminal and do my own thing once I get to Venice. Good plan?

As long as I get there, no info from MSC. A mystery,

From what I am reading from this post. I am better off just getting off the ship in Marghera, wherever that is, and do my own tour and gondola or taxi thing. Sound right?

Did you do this on your own or was it a planned tour? recently? Cost?

Thanks. Is there difficulty getting in and out of the boats? I don't use a cane but knee is not the best.

Has anyone taken the gondola tour from the ship or a private tour? Is it worth the money? Is it difficult to get in and out of boat? I have a gimpy knee and wondering if that will be a problem. Thanks.

One more thing. How was desembarkation? We have a flight to catch after the cruise. What time were you off the ship?
