Do you know what will be included in your day tour?

That sounds like a great idea. I would look into getting tickets today.

What a sweet story of your youth and returning. That must be extra special to be visiting again after all these years. Funny how we remember every detail from 50 years ago and can't remember what we had for lunch today. I love your pictures and comments on each. This will be on my bucket list for a future cruise.

Thank you all. This was exactly the type info that I was looking for. We will be in Rome on Easter Sunday, so I am passing on this altogether. There are 3 others with me, and I think the coliseum tour will be perfect for them. I have been to Rome and Florence, so will do the Luca tour at that port. Croatia and Greece were the places I was most concerned, since I have never been to either country. What about Barcelona? We are doing the post-cruise extension. I know we have to do the La Sagrada Familia, but should we do it with a Viking excursion or one of the days on our own? What else would be a must see there? To me, Barcelona looks like it will be so much fun, don't want to waste any time on non-worthwhile things.

Our excursion selections open next week on the Mediterranean Odyssey cruise. I have tried searching CC for excursion recommendations, but can't really find anything. My thoughts are to take most of the included tours, since we have never been to Chioggia, Croatia or Corfu. We have been to Venice and plan on 2 days on our own there, pre=cruise, so won't need to come back for that excursion. I would really appreciate your thoughts on what is a must see on this cruise, any of the ports. Thanks.

Love your photos so far and looking forward to reading your future posts. Looks like you are having a great time.

Can't wait to ready your posts, hopefully you have all the bad stuff.

And, I forgot to mention how much I am enjoying your photos. They are just beautiful.

This sounds like our best option. Maybe there will be a roll call for our trip and I can find others willing to share a taxi. However, we will have all of our luggage for the 13 days, probably 2 26" and 2 totes. Will that be difficult on a vaparetto?

We will begin our cruise in Venice (April 2023), We plan on arriving a day early and staying in a local hotel. Now that we know we will be leaving out of Chioggia, we are wondering how we will get there. Since we are arriving the day of the cruise, or getting the pre-cruise package, Viking won't take us to the ship. With luggage, will a water taxi take us? Any idea on the price? I think the vaporetto/bus ride won't work for this trip because of the luggage.

I contacted Viking about this questions, are friends are PV and will be able to book before us. They can't book a table for 4, but when it is our turn to reserve, we can ask to be seated with them, if a 4 top is available. This will be our 1st Viking cruise, so hopefully it will all work out.
