Odyssey of the seas excursion from Naples

[Tina80]

Hi all,

We will be sailing on Odyssey of the Seas 9 night Greek isles cruise starting Oct 2nd. Would like to book an excursion with a 3rd party company but the meeting point is listed as Stazione Marittima. Is that close to where Odyssey of the seas embark? Thank you

In case you want to fo to Capri I would organize it yourself, just buy the Ferry tickets in advance and especially for the return ensure to be back in Naples at least 90 minutes before all on board time. A day could look like this (assuming departure from Naples is at 18:30 or later):

Depart Naples at 08:35 (09:25 arrival Capri)*

Depart Capri at 15:25 (16:15 arrival Naples)*

Buy the tickets online before, there are several companies operating the ferry such as SNAV and NLG, depending on the schedule you choose you need to book one way tickets on the website of the respective companies. (Best to book it directly with the ferry operator, not any 3rd parties). totaost rount rrip should be approx EUR 50 per person.

For instance the above would be both ways with NLG. Also, unless it changed, you will only eceive a confirmation online, but the actual tickets need to be printed out for you at the port. Just go to the counter of the ferry operator. They will then print the tickets also forthe return leg.

1. After arrival take a bus to Anacapri and walk around there, optional take the chair lift up to Monte Solaro, for great views (EUR 14 round trip per person)

2. Take a bus to Capri Town, walk around the town, have some lunch etc

3. When it's time to catch your ferry, take the funicular down to the port (since there can be queues, be at the funicular station 45 mins before the ferry departure.

The cost for the bus / funicular is EUR 2.40 per person per ride. Best is to buy the tickets upon arrival in the morning at the ticket office. For the funicular it's a different ticket, therefore you need to specify. You would need 2x Bus tickets + 1 Funicular ticket per person.

 

In summary RCL offers a shore excursion covering the above at more than double the price absolutely not worth it. Here you can schedule the day per your liking on your own.

Thank you for your helpful reply. I would love to visot Positano, Amalfi coast and Ravello, those are obviously harder to reach 😞
