Greek Isles Excursions from RCCL

[iceangel2335]

Hi everyone! I'm going to the Greek Isles on the Rhapsody of the Seas in September 2017 from Venice! I'm so excited and eagerly counting down the days to what looks to be an amazing trip! I was looking for some help in regards to Royal Caribbean's excursions. I can't seem to find any specific reviews (besides a few general ones on CC and other web sites) but was wondering if anyone has taken the below tours and can offer some insights? I'm a newbie cruiser (only just took my first cruise a couple months back) and would prefer to stay with ship excursions right now. I love photography and enjoy taking photos on vacation while also seeing as much as I can in the short time we are in areas. I am not really a beach person, it's nice to see but I don't need to lounge on the sand. Any and all information is appreciated! :)

 

Here's the excursions I'm thinking about:

 

Kotor

(Ideally I'd love to see the old town as well as Our Lady of the Rocks and willing to go outside to Budva/Perast if the time/price is right.)

 

KVA8 – Discover Montenegro

 

KVA70 – Baroque Charm & The Bay of Kotor

 

 

Corfu

CG04 – Achilleion Palace, Perama & Old Town

 

CG05 – Achilleion Palace, Paleokastritsa & Old Town

 

 

Athens (Piraeus)

(Ideally since we are in Athens, I want to see the ruins but also see a bit of the city.)

 

PRC3 – Athens City Sights

 

PR15 – A Taste of Athens (Strenuous)

 

Mykonos

(Is it worth going to Delos or staying more in town? Is there enough in town to wander and see?)

 

MK10 – Ano Mera Monastery w/Scenic Island Drive

 

MK54 – Ancient Delos & Mosaic Lessons

 

MK01 – Ancient Delos

 

 

Argostoli

0001 – Melissani Cave & Agios Andreas Monastery

If nothing else, do go to Delos.

For Corfu - I would take the excursion that includes Paleokastritsa. If you're into photography it is one of the most scenic areas around. When I'm on a cruise that includes Corfu, I always pick an excursion that goes there.
