  1. We chose Pisa for our Livorno day and got a taxi. There were plenty waiting right as we got out of the terminal. He said he could also take us to Florence as well but we knew with my elderly mother Pisa would be enough.
  2. We were on Enchantment in July and one was left at our door every day.
  3. We were on Enchantment in July. They used the local boats as tenders not the ones from the ship and it was great. We found out the night before we did not have to get a tender ticket if not on an excursion we would be allowed off when they made the announcement that we were cleared to go ashore. I think that was around 7:30 am.
  4. We have never been on that ship but although we have taken 4 cruises with Royal and after we board always head right for The Windjammer.
  5. We were on a Med cruise in July on Enchantment and there was a paper Compass left for us every night for the next day.
  6. I always print everything out and keep in a folder but before we get in a line whether it is to board a cruise ship or enter an attraction I always take it out and give to everyone so are ready when it is our turn and do not hold anyone up behind us.
  7. That is what happened with us for our July cruise.
  8. I was on the same cruise as Gail and it was amazing!
  9. We sailed on a Med cruise in July were gone 2 1/2 weeks spent some time touring before and after and thankfully none of us got it including my husband who has health issues so has a compromised immune system and my elderly mother. We frequently wash our hands but do not mask up unless required.
  10. We visited Genoa. My mom was with us who is slow and needs to sit down and rest every now and then so all we had time for was the aquarium we were there most of the day and then did one circuit on the HOHO bus there is a stop near the port.
  11. We went on a Med cruise in July and never got the wellness check on the app the day before and no questions were asked at the port.
  12. Our trip was in July and I am sorry do not know the exact distance. It was maybe a 5-10 minute drive from the port. We actually took the HOHO bus from the aquarium back to the ship. We bought our tickets at the aquarium itself when we arrived we had trouble buying in advance online.
  13. We were on a cruise in July and thought all of the dinners in the MDR were wonderful.
  14. We were recently on a Med cruise. For Livorno we took a taxi to Pisa. They were right there as we got out of the terminal. We agreed on a price and a time for him to pick us back up. He said he could take us anywhere else but with my elderly mother being with us this was enough. For Portofino it is a tender port and you can walk around on your own seeing the castle and shops.
  15. We took a taxi to Pisa. They were there right when we got out of the terminal it was so easy. We arranged a price with the driver and a time for him to pick us back up.
  16. We were recently on a Med cruise. It went from Barcelona to Rome. We came in a few days early wish we had more time in Barcelona it was so amazing. Our ports were mostly different than yours but we mostly did on our own usually there were taxis outside the terminal. Instead of Cannes we had Villefrance which was a tender port and we took a taxi to Monaco. For Livorno we took a taxi to Pisa.
  17. We were recently there and right when we walked out of the terminal there were taxis waiting. We took one to Pisa but I am sure can take you where you need to go.
  18. On our recent Med cruise in July we got an e-mail 30 days before with our cruise documents and on the last page was a luggage tag. I had to make a few copies of it.
  19. We recently visited both places on our own and it was just fine. We bought both tickets online and for St. Mark’s got the one that included the altar and museum upstairs. We also booked the bell tower.
  20. We were recently on a 7 day Med cruise in a Junior Suite. We did the prepaid gratuities but our stateroom attendant was so wonderful so we also left 75 euros in an envelope for him in the room on the last day. We saw him later that day and he was so appreciative.We also gave to our wait staff as well.
  21. We were on Enchantment in July for a Med cruise. We just checked e-mail and went on websites and it worked just fine no matter the time of day.
  22. On our recent Med cruise in July we never got the assessment to do the day before and no health questions were asked when we checked in.
  23. Only slightly which was our fault. The taxi driver who brought us to Monaco gave us a card with his phone number on it and said to call 30 minutes before we were ready to return to the port. Even though we have an international plan on our cell phones had trouble making the call. Luckily there was a tour group near us who were on a break so we asked the leader what we were doing wrong trying to call out and she made the call for us on her cell phone. We should have arranged a time and place for him to come back for us.
  24. We sailed out of Barcelona in July and masks were not required. I do not think we had to wear them anywhere our entire trip and visited 3 countries plus a principality but had brought with us just in case.
  25. We were recently there on a cruise with Royal and a few days before we disembarked there was a flyer about options. It did not list the Civi train station so we went down to guest services and found out they arrange transportation for that as well. It was 25 not sure if euros or dollars per person. Then we picked a time had different choices. When we got out there were people in the terminal asking if we had arranged anything and once it arrived took us out to our shuttle which was a van and there was another family with us.
