Help needed from recent Holland Med Cruisers

[cordi]

Anyone back from June 4 Med Romance? We are sailing on same itinerary next week and have some questions.

1. What time can you start droping off luggage in Venice? I understand you do that before proceding to the check in. What time does check in open and what time did they start boarding? HOw did you get to St Marks square? When did the vaporettos start and stop running? When was the lifeboat drill and what time did you actually sail away?

2. How much time did you actually have in Santorini? Did ship tours get off first? How long was the cable car line?

3. Did anyone go on the Koklos private mini van tour of Corfu? Any thoughts? What time were you off the ship? Did you stop for lunch?

4. When were the formal nights?

5. Did anyone go swiming at any of the ports?


Would love, love, love it if someone posts a review in the next few days!
Thanks!

Cordi - you might want to go to this cruise's roll call in the hopes that one of them comes back to the roll call and post these questions there.

I did the June 10th sailing on the Noordam & had some of the same stops so maybe this will help.

2. Ship tours were directed to tender starting at 8. Everyone else was directed to tender starting at 9. We stood in the cable car line one hour. I think there were 4 other ships in port that day. The line for the donkeys seemed much shorter than for the cable car.

3. We rented a car in Corfu for 50 euros. We just grabbed one near the port; it was not reserved ahead of time. We drove all over the island. We ate lunch on the beach. Near Angelokastro I think.

5. We went swimming in Dubrovnik. If you stop there, I highly recommend you do this! I found the water much too cold in Corfu, and I found the water in Santorini kinda gross (full of algae or seaweed).

Enjoy your cruise!!
