Easy to get bus across road to pile gate but you need Kunas .plenty buses either way

Very easy to use people mover .you see the sign and mono rail when u get off ship and walk left out of port then to the right there is ticket machine in foyer .as Jenny wren said you can walk to st marks square ,we took vaporreto down the centre of the grand canal past all sights and Rialto bridge fabulous very cheap to use . Then easy to walk back ( unless you go in every handbag shop ) follow yellow signs on wall high up The ship does vaporreto from port about£15.00 I believe but it takes u to st marks down the external grand canal .enjoyed so much booked again for next year !

Whoops kunas

You can get local bus outside port opposite side of road but need ku as also taxis at port .to pile gate lots of buses easy ! You need to be back for lifeboat drill about 5 .fabulous cruise enjoy every moment x

We took the people mover ,head to the left out the port and you'll see the sign ,about 15 mins walk you can see it from ship .its a monorail takes you straight to p Roma near station . 1.5 euro single You can take vaparetto down grand canal .it was sunday when we went .off ship early ,we got front seats on vap .st marks square was quiet ! Lots of little places for coffee procecco St marks £50 but depends what you want .venice is a place to wander and people watch . An interesting place to go that is quieter is the Jewish quarter (and old ghetto )turn left past the station Google map . There's a museum and a beautiful art shop . Enjoy !

Bottled water not included ,when we were on spirit ,but staff would bring iced tap water or soda water .you can't fill bottles in the lido ,big signs up ,but we went to gym ! Hope this helps

Yes and the crew show is worth staying up for !

Entertainment great show team work so hard . We enjoyed food in mdr at night prob has deteriorated if comparing 10 years ago but plenty of choice and improved since on majesty 3 years ago . We enjoyed lido for breakfast .never went to speciality restaurant the waiters and wine waiters fantastic and very friendly .we sat different table every night and made great friends ! It's not maybe "cordon bleu but far better than home !!!!

We independently walked to all sights .lovely city felt safe ,occasional asked if we wanted a carpet !! You get real feel of spice smells and culture .enjoy ,we did walk miles but you can have another cake when you return to the ship !!! X

You can get when you enter but I think more expensive and a queue . We paid on line with nationwide card in dollars ,converted to approx 10 pounds . You could get from travel agent but we booked on line .immigration stamped passport in and out of dalaman airport .

Yes ,we were recently on cruise and you need a visa to get in and keep to leave . You get it on line official site and can print out about 10 pounds each . Lovely cruise !!!

Hi just been on "Ancient Wonders " on spirit. Small friendly ship ,we enjoyed every minute .food lovely ,we eat in main dining room .Entertainment 1st class . You will have a ball . Istanbul we walked to spice market and blue mosque got book and map from library at home or you could take tram very easily . Bozcaada tender of ship lovely to walk round ..Kusidasi have been previously to Ephesus ,worth going if you not been ,but can wonder round .Athens we walked to metro 30 mins took train to plaka and Acropolis ,easy cost 1.20 euro each way .the line ends in pareus so you can't get lost ! .santorini favourite place .tender then cable car .we took taxi to oia 20 euros with tip but some people took bus easily . You can just wander round shops in thira though. We then walked down steps with donkeys ! Enjoy every moment xx I would be envious but off to Adriatic in July !!!
