  1. No doubt the increase in popularity of cruise traffic has an impact on many places.   Venice is also being damaged by the large ships coming into port.  Until countries start to limit the number of ships, not much can be done.    I was in CT last July ( on a land vacay, not cruise)  and I didn't find it to be crazy crowded.  But I've lived in/around LA/NYC, so it's all relative I guess. lol

     

    Due to the internet,  travel blogs and low airline costs, travel has increased almost everywhere.  Land, cruise, tour, train, it's  all increasing.  We are a more global world than ever before.   Popular places get instagrammed and boom!    So, there are positives and negatives.    But it's here to stay if I had to guess!  

     

     

     

     

  2. Thank you for your replies.  I have been to Florence, Pisa and CT before.  I think CT is darling and what we wish to do for our day at port.   Our port was supposed to be La Spezia and was then changed to Livorno sadly.  It makes it more difficult to get to CT easily.   But it can be done. Our cruise ship is not offering an excursion.    We are in port for 12 hours, so we should have plenty of time.   I think we are looking for a driver to simplify the day.   I have no desire to rent a car or take a train this time.   

  3. It took us approx 30 minutes to get through immigration and to exchange money last week on Sun. You are only allowed one bottle of Rum per person on NCL and 100 cigars. We hired a private tour and guide through Blexie.

    How did you like the tour through Blexie?

  4. That is finalized.. he says will be meet you outside the terminal :) You can not pay him until you get there.
