Thanks, everyone for your information. The reason I asked the questions is that I had a conversation with my brother-in-law who had been on a recent Viking cruise and he said, "Be sure to download the cruise line's app." He found the Viking app very handy for accessing all of the things mentioned by zalusky. It does seem a bit "old school" that Oceania does not yet have an app. 

Does Oceania have an app? I can't find a link for one or find it in the Apple app store.

I am planning a cruise for September/October of 2017 for a group of 5 couples. We plan to take NCL's "7-Day Adriatic, Greece & Turkey from Venice" itinerary. Any idea when NCL might release their September/October 2017 dates? Once we know our cruise dates we will plan a week-long stay at an Italian villa the week before the cruise. We have a specific villa in mind and it books up early, so the sooner we know our cruise dates, the better. THANKS!

Liz315, did you take this excursion? If so, what was your experience? THANKS!

Good question! The itinerary says "Depart" so I guess we have to be back on board earlier than 8 pm. Guess that answers the questions if we have enough time to do this. And I don't want our time to be so stressful and non-enjoyable because we're nervous about missing the ship. So I'll be making a different plan!

Thanks so much for your help!

We will be in Saint John, NB on Oct 12. Will have a rental car for the day. According to the tide tables, low tide is at 6:51 pm. So if we can see the sea caves and walk the ocean floor two hours before low tide, I assume that means around 5 pm. If we spend around an hour there, leave around 6 pm, will we have enough time to drive back to Saint John, return our rental car and get on the ship by our 8 pm deadline?

Is there a time difference in Saint John between the ship and on land?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Our Carnival Sensation itinerary says the ship arrives at Port Canaveral at 7 am. Our flight from MCO is at 12:25 pm. It's cheaper to do a one-way car rental to get ourselves to MCO, than to take a shuttle. BUT will the extra time it takes to pick up and drop off the rental car give us enough time to make our flight? There are four of us (2 moms, 2 teens) and we are all first time cruisers.
