Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I have to factor in getting to the VCE airport for a very early flight out a couple of days later. Trying to decide between a hotel in Cannaregio, or one right next to the Venezia-Mestre train station instead. The one in Mestre will allow to drop off the suitcase early, and will be a much better value (even factoring the expense of the train into Venice itself.) The luggage can easily be carried off the ship in Marghera, and was hoping that a taxi to Mestre could be taken from the port there.
  2. How do they transfer to the Stazione Marittama, do you know? is it possible to head from the Marghera port to a taxi to Mestre?
  3. Hello, Disembarking the MSC Armonia in Marghera (Venice) in April 2024. Traveling alone, handling own luggage. How does it work? Are we transferred onto buses to go into Venice (Piazzale Roma)? If staying in a Venice hotel: are we shuttled by tender boats or water taxi - where to, and do we pay? If headed to the Venezia-Mestre train station - can we get a taxi from the ship into Mestre, if not staying in Venice? Can you please explain how disembarking works for those of us not headed to the airport, please. Thank you.
  4. I was tempted by that Rio to Lisbon one. Will you and Synnøve spend any extra time in Lisbon?
  5. Hey, hi!!! Unfortunately, I’m relying on it more and more. Have you and Inge restarted cruising again? I agree! Bill and I will be snowbirding in Portugal, and a friend tried talking me into doing a Spring Med cruise on another line… so I’ve talked her into doing this one instead. 😉 Diane
  6. I’m looking at booking the 9-night Mediterranean Rivieras itinerary, from Barcelona to Civitavecchia, on Pursuit for the beginning of April 2024. It’s a port-intensive itinerary, and includes: Palamos (for Figueres), Port Vendres, Sete, Marseille, St-Tropez, Monte Carlo, Porto Venere and Portofino. I’m wondering about the tendered ports of St-Tropez, Portovenere, and Portofino. Portovenere will be a challenge for me, and I will have to do it with a cane. Esp. for St-Tropez, could I load my mobility scooter on the tender (not ride it onboard, but actually load/unload it.) I’ll be calling Azamara tomorrow to ask, but I don’t always trust their answers when it comes to accessibility issues, based on my past cruising experiences with them. There is only one excursion listed this early, and I know more will be added later. Do you what are some of the excursions that have been offered in these ports. Any idea where the AzAmazing evening could be held? Thank you for any feedback on this itinerary, and any additional info that you can share.
