erby2283 Posted August 29, 2023 #1 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Haven't sailed Carnival since 2015 and have only been to the Mediterranean once but that was on RC. Can someone explain how the distribution of tender tickets works on Carnival since FTTF (which I usually buy) is not available for Mediterranean sailings? On Royal, you had to go down to get in line about 2 hours prior to port arrival time and get your tender ticket. Wasn't sure if it was similar on Carnival? Have heard stories about taking hours to get off the ship in Santorini and really don't want to purchase a ship excursion unless I have to. Thanks in advance.

Rare ninjacat123 Posted August 30, 2023 #3 Share Posted August 30, 2023 @erby2283 you specify Santorini and I think the consensus on this Greek Board is try to book a ship's excursion to expedite your way to Oia and Fira. I didn't want to put out the money either but finding out how long passengers were waiting to ride the cable car (2 hours) I decided to bite the bullet. I'm on Carnival Pride this Oct 18. When is your cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am booking many of my excursions through TripAdvisor and I booked over a year out. What ports are you visiting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I am not supposed to advise you until I have taken an excursion, I will write back after Oct 29, 2023. I'm writing it in my calendar. I am also thinking of writing a review so I will post a link as well.👍 Edited August 31, 2023 by ninjacat123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
