I hope you are correct!!!

Thank you for all of your responses. I just called Royal Caribbean and the answer was the same, Naples is a tender port. The person on the phone suggested I work with guest services once on board the ship to see if they can help us get off in Naples in a timely manner. I will plan on 30 minutes to disembark in the other, docked, ports. Thanks, Norwich. We haven’t cruised on anything with more than 600 passengers in a long time so I am prepared for culture shock…..anything for the grandkids!

And then, after passengers are cleared to disembark, are ships tours given preference and, if so, then how long do people with private tours need to wait until they can go ashore? My TA said that we will tender in Naples? So how long will people with private tours need to wait until they are allowed a spot on a tender? I am attempting to ascertain when to let private guides know we will be ready to begin our tour and how many hours we will really have available to tour. Thank you!

We are booked on the Symphony Western Med cruise in June. How long will it take us to get off the ship and join our private tour in docked ports? In tender ports? Thank you!

Does anyone know if we need to apply for this online form to enter South Korea for a one day stop on the Oceania Nautica? Thanks!

Does anyone know if a K-ETA needs to be applied for online for our one day stop in Busan?

We will be on a Western Mediterranean cruise in June with our Son, DIL and 14 & 12 year old Grandsons. Can anyone recommend especially interesting shore excursions/activities/private guides for the port of Naples on a Friday and La Spezia on a Wednesday? Also, we will be staying in Rome for a few days pre and post cruise. Activities/Private Guides and hotel recommendations would be most appreciated. Thank you!
