AmoMondo Posted June 9, 2013 #4 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Another protest by those that are anti cruise ship's in the lagoon. It's not the first protest and it won't be the last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MADflyer Posted June 10, 2013 #6 Share Posted June 10, 2013 This was a planned 3 day event and should not be a problem for next weeks sailings. Fantasia left port basically on-time, while Costa was delayed a couple hours. They both made Bari as scheduled. http://www.nograndinavi.it/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skipper Tim Posted June 11, 2013 #7 Share Posted June 11, 2013 The chances are that the Venice authorities will build a new cruise terminal outside the lagoon. They won't want to lose the cruise trade and yet have to appear to be sensitive to environmental concerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidari Posted June 11, 2013 #8 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Tim ... I recall a few ships having docked at Maghera just up from Venice due to Fog and the passengers taken by bus to Venice. Maghera also being the home of Fincantieri shipbuilders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
