[Sixseto]

Hello!

We are going to cruise the Mediterranean on the Ruby Princess 5/15/2009 from Venice to Barcelona! Very, very excited to leave soon. Does anyone have any suggestions on which shore excursions to go on and purchase with the Princess? We would like to pre-reserve! Here are our ports:

 

 

 

VENICE, ITALY

 

ATHENS (PIRAEUS), GREECE 09:

 

EPHESUS (KUSADASI), TURKEY

 

ISTANBUL, TURKEY TURKEY

 

MYKONOS, GREECE

 

CAPRI/NAPLES, ITALY

 

ROME (CIVITAVECCHIA), ITALY

 

FLORENCE/PISA (LIVORNO), ITALY

 

MONTE CARLO, MONACO

 

BARCELONA, SPAIN

 

THANKS!!!!

Might I suggest that you check out the Princess "roll call" area for the May 16 Ruby Princess? There were several posts looking for extra passengers for private tours for your ports.

Welcome to Cruise Critic and thank you for your first post! However, you have posted on the Cruise Blogs & Websites Forum where members share their personal cruise-related travelogue blogs or websites with their fellow Cruise Critic members. This is not the correct forum for your post since it is off-topic here.

 

When you have a chance, please read the Sticky post titled What is a ROLL CALL and how do I find mine? at http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=44773. The Sticky post will tell you about our Roll Calls and how to locate the Roll Call thread for your cruise. That's the correct place for you to get to know the other Cruise Critic members sailing with you before the cruise.

 

As BJ says and to help you find your Roll Call thread quicker, click here http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=791094 for the Ruby Princess Roll Call thread titled May 16, 2009 Venice to Barcelona Ruby Princess.

 

To research for information about your ports of call click here http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=5 for the Ports of Call Forums list. Your fellow Cruise Critic members post their reviews/recommendations there. In your case, you will want to research our Ports of Call - Europe - Mediterranean - Eastern & Western Forum at http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=234.

 

To research for information from your fellow Cruise Critic members that have sailed your line, ship or itinerary before, click here http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=197 for our Princess Cruises Forum. Also, you may want to click here http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=114 to research our Ask a Cruise Question Forum for even more helpful information.

 

Please feel free to use the Search this Forum feature on all Cruise Critic message board forums with your key word or words. It will help narrow down the threads you will want to read during your research. Also, you can see if your inquiry has been asked and answered before. And it probably has... many, many times!

 

Click the Search this Forum feature to open the drop down. Type in your key word or words then click the little Go button. I suggest you do not try a search with too many or too common of key words at one time. This will sometimes overwhelm the search feature with too many threads to scan and it will time out. From time to time, you may receive an error message that says "Search function is down". PLEASE TRY AGAIN in a few moments. This message will often pop up during the busiest times of the day.

 

The following information may be helpful too:

 

Be sure to read our FAQ, especially the Getting Started section. You will see how a new topic should be consistent with the specific forum you choose. It also gives a brief summary of the topics covered in some of the forum sections. Other important FAQ sections are Subscriptions (Receiving e-mail notification of replies to posts and threads you specify) and User Maintenance.

 

Click here http://boards.cruisecritic.com/index.php for the list of all Cruise Critic message board forums and be sure to read all Announcement and Sticky threads at the top of the various forums for very important information or instructions.

 

In the Guidelines we all agreed to follow when registering for our free membership, please note the Please Browse BEFORE You Post section since many of your questions may have been asked and answered before as mentioned above.

 

While doing your research, be sure you are on the correct forum. After you have browsed/researched for your topic and possibly not found an answer, word your new inquiry title so the other members scrolling through the thread titles will know exactly the information you seek. This will help the members as they scroll through the thread titles so they can reply to you. It is best to limit each inquiry to only one topic or concerning one cruise line, port of call, etc. You will get more replies that way. Be sure to mention your cruise line, ship & sail date in your inquiry if it will help the members with their answers to you.

 

If you wonder what some of the icons/symbols/arrows on Cruise Critic mean, just use your mouse to hover your cursor over the item and most often a tool-tip will appear with the name or action.

 

I sincerely hope this information will be helpful and glad to have you aboard Cruise Critic!

Hello We are going on the same cruise in July can you tell me about it.

As I mentioned above, this is the Cruise Blogs & Websites Forum where members share their personal cruise-related travelogue blogs or websites with their fellow Cruise Critic members. This is not the correct forum for your posts. Please read the information in my post #3 above since the information should be helpful to you since you are a new member.

 

Regarding your finding your Roll Call thread, the information on how to do it is in the Sticky thread titled What is a ROLL CALL and how do I find mine? at http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=44773. Since you did not mention the sail date for your cruise, I am not able to give you the name and link for your Roll Call thread as I did for Sixseto and Anchor Annie above.

 

For feedback on the ship, you will need to research the Princess Cruises Forum at http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=197.

 

For feedback on excursions, you will need to research the Ports of Call - Europe - Mediterranean - Eastern & Western Forum at http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=234.
