It took us less than 40 minutes to get to the airport. We used uber.

I did have an international driver's license which is really easy to get. I went to the local AAA office to get mine.

The car rental was Royal car rental and it is located in the cruise port passenger terminal that you walk through when you get off the ship. It is extremely convenient and I paid 50 to 60usd at the time.

That attire is definitely appropriate. Nothing in particular to be aware of. If you can rent a car, do so. It was so cheap and we were able to do all of the things that NCL offered as individual excursions. We found the beach just riding around town. We also went on a boat excursion around the coastline for like 60 euros for 4 people. We did the achilleion palace tour and just enjoyed the freedom renting a car provided for us. We got back in plenty of time and even had time to do some shopping. It was my first cruise and I planned all of the excursions instead of going with NCL. The savings were tremendous - instead of paying 1000+ for 4 people, I paid under 400. Don't be afraid to be adventurous. Just be sure to keep track of the time.

We actually cruised to Corfu late October - like last week of October - we actually enjoyed the beach! The water was amazingly warm, the beach was clean and the sand was very fine. I don't remember which beach on Corfu we went to unfortunately.

I understand the hesitation. I have only been to Santorini 2x both in the month of October. I didn't have to wait as long as others have experienced either time. I'm guessing going in late October may be the reason; however, with only 1 ship in port, I don't believe you will have such a long wait. I'd be interested to know how it goes for you. Our first time we booked a private excursion for just the 4 of us and our drove did an amazing job.

We were there in late October on the NCL Jade this year from 1 to 10 pm. We were the only ship in port with another ship coming in later. We were not on a ship excursion which made our tender time longer. However, it took us less than an hour to get off the boat and then less than 20 minutes to get on the cable car. I thought it would be longer as we reserved a rental car for 2:30 but we had time to stop and eat lunch before meeting the guy to pick up our rental.
