I am wondering if the sheer amount of passengers on these huge ships has just become too big for smaller ports and excursion operators to handle.

We are beginning in Venice and ending in Rome with ports in Croatia, Tunis, Sicily, and Sorrento. I am toying with the idea of doing a food/wine tour and a history tour one day during the cruise. I am not sure I would do this more than one or two days throughout the cruise. One of the ports in which I would book two is Tunis. Another might be in Croatia. I’m really just kicking around the idea at this point looking for opinions.

Hi! My travel agent has indicated that as long as excursions do not overlap, more than one excursion can be reserved at a port. I’m wondering about the feasibility of this. Has anyone done this? Is it too much time in a bus and too little time to explore the port area? Exhausting? We are youngish and capable (I think, lol). Your thoughts?

Thank you very much for all for your opinions. Although it is more pricey, I think we may go through the travel agent using the Allianz Journey policy. I did call the Trip Insurance Store and felt that the service was good. However, I’m a total novice at buying insurance. Strange how illness, advancing age, and Covid has changed my outlook and needs. Again, thank you.

We are first time cruisers on Silversea. We’ve never purchased insurance before but age now dictates that we should. We are thinking about using Allianz either through our travel agent or the cruise line to meet our needs. I’ve read other threads about insurance but am uneasy about agencies I haven’t heard of. Any guidance you may have would be appreciated.
