Has anyone been here recently? If so, is it easily accessible via taxi from cruise port and how long of a ride and how much should I expect it to cost? TIA

We sailed on Explorer to Greece and Croatia last September, had a great time! The ship was wonderful and the crew was friendly and helpful! I suggest you join the roll call for your cruise, also go to the boards for Greece and read other peoples comments about what to do in your port stops. There's a wealth of information out there (mostly good! :))

 

May I ask how you got from Ravenna Port to Venice Airport? Does

RCI offer a shuttle bus?

.

Is Quest something you watch or is participation required?

I am sailing on Explore of the Seas in May to Greece. First time on Royal Caribbean and first time in Europe. Please flood me with all the tips, strategies, and need to know info. I have my time dining reservations mostly for 7:30/7:45 times. Will there be late shows and also, what kind of shows do they offer? Any comedy? TIA!

But it is probably better to apply it closer to final payment. Having an FCC on your sailing does funny things when you go and ask for price drops. They tend not to look at the original price (before FCC was applied) Get the lowest price you can and then apply it right before final. 

Good to know, thanks!

Can the FCC be applied toward a booking that is already under deposit for next year?

I’m looking for a beach or hotel on the beach that might offer massages right on the beach. Any recommendations?

We will be going in a boat tour while in Capri and they have asked me what kind of wine I would like them to provide. I have no idea what they have there but I like a very sweet red wine (Think grape juice) or a sweet moscato type wine. Does anyone have any recommendations ?

We are in Santorini next June from 1pm-10pm. Would like to go to Oia, of course. Any advice would be great. I assume it is very busy at that time. Also, would we have time to got to a restaurant to view sunset and get back down to the ship on time?

Kusadasi is a port stop on my Med cruise for June 2020 and I’m wondering if ships stopped there this year or if that port stop was changed or cancelled? Is it a nice place to just walk around the port area and take photos? I am unable to find any recent posts.

they make it very difficult!  I've had to research what ships do the mediterranean and then sort by the ships...

 

I did a review of the greek isles on Jewel...not sure where specifically you're looking for, but that link is here:

 

I did find yours and it was very helpful! Thanks for sharing!

I am struggling to find Mediterranean cruise reviews on here. I keep doing a search and wording it different ways but I keep getting rolls calls and things that don’t apply at all to the Med. Please help. What am I doing wrong?

This will be my first Europeon cruise and would appreciate any advice, tips for international cruising. I read somewhere that we do not go through customs at debarkation, Is this correct? Any other useful info is appreciated. Flying in from US.

I am looking for some mid priced restaurant recommendations for Rome (in June) for lunch and also dinner. A nice view would also be great. TIA

Is Rome a good place for shopping? Never been there.....suggestions, please.

Has anyone gone on a Mediterranean cruise on this ship or is anyone going  this year?

I tried to search this but was unable to find an answer to this particular question. Has anyone taken a boat tour from (port) Naples to Capri, see some of the grottos, do some snorkeling, and then back to Naples? I’m not looking to take the ferry and then get on another boat, unless that is necessary. I would prefer to be on one boat the entire time. Hoping for a small group, don’t need private. In port from 7am-6pm so there should be time to do this.

We have never been to Mykonos before but I think I would like to just explore on our own. I am interested in the wind mills, wandering through the town streets and lunch somewhere on the water at Little Venice. How much time should I plan for this...walking? Our ship is in port from 6am-6pm. Please help with any advice and recommendations for places for lunch. Do I need to make a reservation? Maybe time to go to the beach for a couple of hours? We will be there in June.

Would this be a good cabin location choice? Is there any positives/negatives about being in this area?

Can anyone tell me how The Anytime Dining works on the Victory? I know some ships you check in on one level and are given a pager....

BBC (Baileys Banana Colada)

Not sure what’s in it but it’s creamy and frozen and delicious!

I have been on several Carnival cruises but am now contemplating an RCCL on the Rhapsody to the Greek Isles and Croatia. Is there a link or website or somewhere I can look to find out all I need to know about cruising from Venice, and general info I would need to know about RCCL? What levels and cabin areas of the ship to avoid? TIA!

Any restaurants or bars with nice view of the sunset? February. Preferably somewhere we can also hang out at during the day.

Most scooter rental companies open at 9am. Has anyone come across one that opens earlier?
