If you STILL have Liberty questions...

[suzy671]

What time did you get off the ship, did you do self-assist?

[scubalisa]

Is the in cabin wifi system included, or do you have to pay for access?

[lv2cruz]

Did you know of anyone, or talked to anyone who took the "Beautiful Tuscany Tour" or "The Essence of Italy Tour" when it stoped in Livorno?If so, How was it?

[winewanderer]

I don't remember reading anyone who said they did the "Wines of Tuscany Tour" through Carnival at the Livorno stop. Do you know anyone who took it and what they thought?

 

Thanks

[charmary]

Did you take the ships tour? And if so the Liberty was in port on a Sunday and did you have any trouble with sites being open only limited times durring the day? We will be in port on Sunday and don't want to be disapointed when they skip things they advertise.

Anyone remember what time sunsets in Venice and did you take the gondola ride at night? My group is wanting to pre book as it is much cheaper than the ship's tour.

Still looking for the Liberty's pins if anyone received one they don't really want.

[SPKR]

what about bringing a laptop. Do you know if it can connect in your room?

[TwoBayLady]

Hi - can you educate me to the difference between Euro Travelers cheques? My daughter and I also plan to spend a few days in Paris and a few in Rome -

When is your cruise?

 

Thanks!

Hello TwoBayLady,

 

If you are going to spend some time in Paris and Rome - as we intend to do -

I think it makes sense to get your cheques in euros instead of US dollars then there won't be a conversion fee.

We are also thinking of getting a Travelex cash passport from our bank here. Then we can use it in any ATM's abroad that accept Visa. I think you can get a similar thing from Amex in the US but I checked our Amex website here in Oz and can't see anything on there. I will check that out to make sure.

We are on the Carnival Liberty cruise on Sept. 30th - which one are you on?

 

Bye for now

I'm booking for 6 persons. They do have a 2 person price but not sure if that means ONLY 2 persons in the boat. http://www.weekendavenezia.com

re:attire for cathedrals-- my husband wore knee length shorts and was not turned away at all. One of my party wore t tank and short shorts and had to cover in ST Marks. The facilities give you sort of a paper"shawl" to put over you when you enter if you are not appropriately dressed. You leave the shawl when you leave. It was very warm, so I would never suggest long pants during this weather.

Euros were exchanged at a "hospitality" desk, away from the purser's desk. Hours were posted in the Capers.

[RatherBCrusin]

I did not have travellers checks per se, I brought the actual euros with me and had no problem. I do remember peoples standing in line at the pursers trying to exchange travellers checks and they were having a problem. I would suggest the bare minimum of travellers checks (maybe 100E) to cover the cab ride, tips to your hotel. Then change $ in the airport at the ATM--- NOT the currency desk.

[RatherBCrusin]

Reply to Sy--

I brought 200E in checks, as our connection to the airport was 96E and we wanted to have some emergency money. The rest I did at ATMS.

tours--NONE of the toru operators took travellers checks-- just euros.

It would REALLY be pushing ot to do Capri and Amalfi coast in one day. I dont think you would have time to really do anything with that kind of itinerary. Hope this helps

[RatherBCrusin]

Trains are NOT reliable re: getting back tot he ship. Our ship was delayed in Livorno due to just that problem. I might suggest that you research train out and cab back.

[luvz2run2000]

I e-mailed weekendavenezia and they said if you reserve for two you will not have additional people added to your gondola. I checked because I didn't think being squished in with strangers would do anything to enhance my romantic experience. On the other since the price is basically per gondola if you had a group of 4-6 traveling together it would definitely be a good deal.

[scubajohn02]

Any links to carnival capers would be great.

 

 

Thanks,

Can you please tell me what the terminal is like, is it a building or tents set up. Thanks

[Sybird]

Thanks for the reply. We realized the imposibility of doing both Capri & Amalfi and for the sake of not wanting to "miss the boat".\, we booked the Carnival excursion to Amalfi. We know we won't be left behind(for a price, of course)!

[Sybird]

Good thought. We might just do that
