Yes, only a half day. That's why I was confused, I figured the more expensive tour was better but couldn't understand why it was shorter. That didn't seem to make any sense.

I am between these two tours but I don't really see the difference between them. The longer one is cheaper which is odd. Can anyone weigh in on either of these tours?

Yeah, saw that they added that after I posted. I'm still waiting for them to add Volos. There's only one right now

We prefer DIY when we are in a safe place and we don't have to worry about time constraints. From what I've been reading, it seems like Istanbul seems pretty safe and with the tram right by the cruise dock, it's easy to get to where all the sights are. I was considering booking a ship tour but they seem rather expensive. We also don't like big tour groups and prefer to do things on our own when possible. Wanted to see what the consensus was here. Thanks in advance.

I'd appreciate some feedback on these plans for any/all of our plans for these ports. It's going to be a very busy cruise with no sea days. We really enjoy history and old cities so that's how I planned all of this out. -Saint Tropez - walk around, browse shops, possibly take the ferry over to Grimaud -Livorno - take the train to Lucca, take the train to Pisa and then back to Livorno -Naples - we've been to this area before so we are just gonna grab some pizza. Otherwise will relax -Messina - take the train to Taormina -Corfu - hop on/hop off bus -Katakolon - train to Olympia Santorini - boat and then bus to Oia Kusadasi - take a cruise excursion to Ephesus since this is a short port day and the prices are cheap Istanbul - we want to take a tour of the city but still up in the air as to how we are doing it. NCL has not released any excursions of this port yet so I can't evaluate them Volos - We are going to Meteora and will almost certainly go through NCL. They just haven't released these excursions yet. Whew, that's gonna be a lot but I'd appreciate any feedback on these plans. Thanks.

Celebrity's website either doesn't provide this information or I completely missed it but I'm looking to book the Flora for either November or January. How does the land package work? Does it cost extra or is it included as part of the price on the website? If it's extra, does anyone know what the average cost is? Thanks in advance.

I would like to go to the Galapagos on the Flora in November but I can't tell if it would be better to wait until January. I can do either but would prefer November. Google gives me inconsistent results so I'd like to see if anyone has been there in November. It seems like there is less rainfall and heat in November but the main downside I see is that the water isn't as clear for snorkeling. Thanks in advance.
