shared tour Amalfi coast, Solstice 13th May?

sassigirl · #1 May 6th, 2012, 01:08 PM

We are sailing on Celebrity Solstice from Barcelona on 11th May.
Would anyone like to share private tour e.g. Viator on 13th May to include Amalfi Coast, Positano and Ravello?
Does anyone know if it is easy to pick up a tour when you disembark?

Welcome to Cruise Critic!!
We're on that same cruise. There is a very active roll call, even if you are rather late in joining in you'll get a lot of tips and ideas just by reading the posts. There were quite a lot of people looking for others to share tours of the Amalfi coast. Perhaps it's not too late to find somebody to share the tour with you if you register for the Meet&Greet party Celebrity has for CC members, it's usually in the morning of the first sea day.
Don't worry if you can't find anybody to share the tour with at this late date, though. It is really easy do find others to share a taxi just by standing near the MANY available taxis and vans when you leave the ship at Naples or the other Italian ports . That's what we did last year - we either were asked by other passengers, we asked ourselves or the taxi drivers tried to find 6-8 people to share their vans. We have met really nice fellow passengers that way and had a good time.
An option to fall back on is always an excursion offered by the ship. We've done several in the Caribbean, for example, when we didn't want to haggle with taxi drivers . The excursions were more expensive for sure, but not bad at all!
Enjoy your cruise! This is the link to the "Solstice" roll call - enjoy!

Thankyou so much for your tips. I know we're a bit late thinking about this. I can't believe where the time has gone since we booked.
WE did what you suggested in Athens and met another couple just as we disembarked and had a really great day. Enjoy your cruise

sounds great, we have visited Pompei before and were hoping just to find a tour of Amalfi coast. Maybe we will meet up with others if we disembark early. Definitely need to get more organised next time!
