Glad to hear no wind damage, hope water surge spared you as well. The video coming out of Sanibel is heartbreaking, I have great memories of shell-hunting with my daughter there when she was 9 and 11.

Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted October 3, 2022 #40 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Jimbo, I hope you get a better tourguide at Acropolis than we did. We didn't even get the headphones promised in the Carnival excursion description. Then we were promised refunds and apology phone calls from Excursions and neither happened. Disillusioned because Carnival "always" keeps their promises. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jimbo5544 Posted October 3, 2022 Author #42 Share Posted October 3, 2022 After walking this morning we heard some disturbing news. I would not pass it along if it had not been confirmed by the Captain in his noon talk. Apparently, sometime around 10 pm the night before, a young boy drown i the pool, was pulled out CPR for a good while and brought back. The ship spun around and headed back to Rome and was met by some faster ship where he (and family I assume) were taken off and brought to a Hospital. Have not heard further on his status. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horrible to hear about this. Hopefully this ends well for the child and parents, and no permanent damage was done to the child. Will not even venture to guess why the child was in the pool at 10 pm, and why the parents weren't vigilant in watching the child. Prayers out to them all, on top of the prayers sent your way for Ft. Meyers. Edited October 3, 2022 by pe4all 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jimbo5544 Posted October 3, 2022 Author #45 Share Posted October 3, 2022 2nd sea day, been torn back and forth and did not have a ton of time with all emailing with our condo board. Tomorrow, they flipped Santorini and Mykonos to have fewer ships in Santorini. Yeah! More coming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the cluster of last week and the lines, I'm not surprised they switched the stops around. The 1.5 hour wait for the cable cars put a damper on that stop which otherwise was a fun day.

Cost about 30? We had an excursion that took us to Oia first via water shuttle but we had to take the cable car back down in Thira (or walk the stairs but a number of people fell so we opted against that). NCL was supposed to leave at 2:30 but due to the line didn't get out until probably after 5:00pm. We got to the water shuttle around 4:15pm-ish and had a couple from NCL in our cable car. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
