Heather White Posted April 23, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 23, 2016 On the Cruise Venice to Istanbul, which port is likely to be selected for this activity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairsin Posted April 23, 2016 #2 Share Posted April 23, 2016 We have done it twice in Corfu on that routing and expect it to be the same on our June cruise Istanbul to Venice. But then they might surprise us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxburgh Posted April 23, 2016 #3 Share Posted April 23, 2016 We did shopping with the chef in Kusadasi. Chef was also shopping in Kotor but there was no organised tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whystayhome Posted April 24, 2016 #4 Share Posted April 24, 2016 We did it in Izmir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairsin Posted April 24, 2016 #5 Share Posted April 24, 2016 If the OP is sailing this season then Izmir and Kotor will not be options as I believe none of the itineraries for the Venice to Istanbul cruises include those ports.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather White Posted April 25, 2016 Author #6 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Thank you for your replies. Chairsin is correct. We are stopping at Corfu and Kusadasi, but not at Izmir or Kotor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Norton Posted April 26, 2016 #7 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Just remember the shopping with the chef tour may no longer be announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather White Posted April 27, 2016 Author #8 Share Posted April 27, 2016 So we should ask/express an interest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairsin Posted April 27, 2016 #9 Share Posted April 27, 2016 When you board I would try asking at Seabourn Square, If they claim they don't know or it has not been finalized seek out the chef after the first night. You might try something on the order of complimenting one of the dishes you enjoyed the previous night and telling him how much you are looking forward to going shopping with him. A little sugar never hurts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tv24 Posted April 27, 2016 #12 Share Posted April 27, 2016 :cool: This is the best route IMO. I agree with the others. On our cruise SWTC was not announced in the daily bulletin and the good folks at Seabourn Sq. had no clue. We should have sought out the chef, since we completely missed the boat! How's that for a well-chosen cliche/metaphor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
