Like others have posted, we are trying to navigate our day in Santorini to enjoy the island with 5 other ships in port that day. We are thinking of doing a catamaran tour. Royal Caribbean does offer "Sailing the Caldera of Santorini" but I would like to hear from other people that have done it. We have kids ages 10 and 12 in our group. I was thinking some swimming would be fun for them since we are cruising in August when it's supposed to be very hot. Although this particular excursion says it is just under 3 hours, dropping you off by noon. I would appreciate any feedback! Thank you!

I did see this hotel, but I was hoping for something more economical. This hotel is $400 a night in the summer months and is a 4 star hotel. I was hoping for a little less expensive, clean, and near the Piazzale Roma. I figure we will be spending such little time in our room, as long as it's clean, has A/C, WIFI, and a good location that would fit the bill.

Thank you for the suggestion. I was thinking that staying near the Piazzale Roma would be convenient. Thank you for your response!

Thank you all for the suggestions and recommendations! I appreciate you taking the time to offer some tips!

I'm looking for any suggestions of transportation options from Ravenna to Bologna? I called RC and was told there is a waitlist for a shuttle, but it is only for people flying out that same day. We would like to spend a night in Bologna and leave the following day. In addition, does anyone have hotel recommendations near the Bologna Airport. Thank you...

I'm looking for Venice Hotel Recommendations. There are 4 separate families traveling together. Any recommendations for economical, clean Venice Hotels? We will be taking a shuttle to Ravenna where the cruise departs, meeting at Isola Nova Del Tronchetto. Should we be looking for hotels near the Isola Nova Del Tronchetto? Any advice would be most appreciated.
