Smaller and more compact than Pompeii but NOT handicapped accessible by any stretch of the imagination. Steps to enter the site, full of uneven surfaces, cobblestones, high curbs, etc. If Herculaneum or Pompeii are a challenge, try the National Archeology Museum in Naples. It is a short cab ride from the ship. Just double check that there is a an accessible entrance because the main entrance is up a flight of steps. https://www.museoarcheologiconapoli.it/en/tickets-and-info/accessibility/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you specifically instructed to bring your passport? In 2017 there was no such requirement. We leave our passports in our safe and carry only our driver's license and a photocopy of our passport information page. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lew - I was thinking it may depend on the port as to what documents you have to bring or not when you go ashore. Most of the time we didn't need anything but our room keys. (I always did like you however and kept photocopies of passport with me). I do remember that in St. Petersberg, they required your passport offshore at all times. Was a bit nervy and we made doubly sure not to get it stolen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comeonnow1 Posted October 4, 2019 #111 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Do they give you any options at the Chef Table? We are doing the Asian Panorama as well, and duck is a no go for me. If no other option, I'm fine just skipping that course. It's not a big deal, I was just curious. We signed up for 2 Chef's Table dinners-and of course once I did I was unable to go back and locate the menus! The Asian Panorama and the Xiang.

broker1217 Posted October 4, 2019 #112 Share Posted October 4, 2019 The Chef's Table is similar to a Chef's Tasting (or Prix Fixe) type menu. There is no choice A or B. However, they do go out of their way to accommodate food allergies and preferences. I would give them as much notice as possible and they should be able to provide a sub for the duck.

Homosassa Posted October 4, 2019 #113 Share Posted October 4, 2019 You won't be missing much by skipping the "Peking Duck" version in the Chef's Table. It has as much a resemble to Peking Duck as a frozen pizza has to a pizza in Naples. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was ok. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zitsky Posted October 5, 2019 Author #123 Share Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) 10 minutes. Maybe 15 to 20 minutes. That's all the time we had there in the Sistine Chapel. We were told the staff makes you leave after 10 min. True? Made up? The art was impressive. No question. Edited October 5, 2019 by zitsky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
