Rare Got2Cruise Posted December 20, 2014 #2 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Hi. If this is the Venice to Athens sailing my husband and I are waiting to hear back from our travel agent, we are very interested in booking this cruise. Have you researched any information on the ports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollymoo12 Posted December 21, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted December 21, 2014 (edited) Hi Yes it is that cruise. The ports of call should all be very good. We have been to a few of the ports before (Venice, Dubrovnik, Corfu Town, Mykonos and Santorini) so we will be looking to doing something different in those places. I love Venice (staying there 3 days pre-cruise), Dubrovnik and Santorini but I don't think there are any "poor" ports in the itinerary. Will need to start doing some research once Christmas is out of the way. Husband's 60th birthday is on the day we are in Dubrovnik so need to see if I can find something special to do that day. Thinking of a lovely lunch in a restaurant with fantastic views. June Edited December 21, 2014 by mollymoo12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Got2Cruise Posted December 21, 2014 #4 Share Posted December 21, 2014 We reserved our cabin. I know so little about Star Clippers so I might be a pest asking lots of questions. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollymoo12 Posted December 23, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) Glad you got your cruise all sorted. It is our first cruise on the Star Clipper but I am sure there will always be someone on this forum site you can help you. It will all seem more real after Christmas is out the way. Hope you have a lovely Christmas. June Edited December 23, 2014 by mollymoo12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Got2Cruise Posted January 2, 2015 #8 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Hi. I found a couple of videos posted from past pax on the Star Clipper face book page. Since there are so few posts not difficult to find. Lol. Same if you go on the CC members reviews page. There are so few and even fewer with our itinerary easy to get information quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollymoo12 Posted January 3, 2015 Author #9 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Thanks. Will have a look later. June Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Got2Cruise Posted April 6, 2015 #10 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Hi MollyMoo (June)! Time for the cruise is getting closer, final payment almost due. I'm off this week and trying to research various ports. (eek!) very overwhelming. I figure I'll get the Venice and the Athens figured out, and just go with the flow when we are on the cruise for the rest. If you are interested in sharing a private tour of Athens from these guys https://www.pktravelgreece.com/full-day-tours/ or any other guide from CC let me know. I think that the 1/2 day tour would be just right. The airfare is ridiculous but it has been exactly the same price since December. Has not budged a penny. Maybe because I insist on flying non-stop and there aren't too many choices, even from NYC. . . Take care. If anyone else wants to chime in, please do so. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Got2Cruise Posted April 8, 2015 #11 Share Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) So here's my idea with the tour in Greece. We(Ray and I) only have one day (Saturday) then we fly back to JFK on Sunday. My plan is to have the taxi/tour pick us up at the port, drive us to the Acropolis, etc. The tour is 5-6 hours. By then I figure we'll be exhausted already. After the tour the driver can drop us off at our hotels. After a rest we are free to explore from the hotel. The next morning after breakfast we leave for the airport. Unfortunately we can't extend our holiday any longer. When we get closer to the date I will start contacting the various taxi companies.

Rare Got2Cruise Posted April 11, 2015 #12 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Update on PK travel in Athens. We decided we are definitely going to use them for full day. Just a driver to drive us around. I'm sure it will be very hot in Athens and having an air conditioned vehicle waiting will make it enjoyable. We will only be in Athens one day. I'm not hiring a guide but a guide is available if one wishes. If anyone wants to join us we can simply request a larger vehicle. If you haven't done so there is a form to fill out with passport information. I asked about it here on Cc and a nice lady was kind to respond. Thank goodness for CC. There is no place on the website to do it you need to send as an email attachment. We only have the free Adobe so I had to print mine out, fill it in by hand then scan. Have a nice weekend.
