We are looking at different options for the day. Just realized I forgot to mention that if you do book your tour with Pure Azores (the fellow I have exchanged emails with was Filipe), please be sure to mention that you are on the Carnival Venezia so that he can put you on the same van as Penny and Art!

Excursion1 Posted April 19, 2023 #227 Share Posted April 19, 2023 And… In looking briefly at the ship-sponsored excursions, it seems this excursion is about 1/2 less than something similar advertised by Carnival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruiser Art Posted April 20, 2023 #229 Share Posted April 20, 2023 That's great to hear, Karen. Do let me know what you hear back from them. It should be a wonderful tour and we'd love to do it with friends from our ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excursion1 Posted April 20, 2023 #230 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Now we just need 2 more companions to make 8 for this delightful Azores tour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TravelBluebird Posted April 20, 2023 #231 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Good evening all! My husband Russ and I will be on this cruise, and we are so excited! We are from Knoxville, TN. We were initially on the cancelled Jubilee Transatlantic, but we are glad we found this cruise as a replacement! We’ll be staying 3 nights in Barcelona before the cruise. My first time in Barcelona, although my husband has been before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mik0227 Posted April 20, 2023 Author #232 Share Posted April 20, 2023 We have a question. Is anyone fly2fun for their flights? If so have they received the ticketed email yet? Were trying to select our seats and need the eTicket numbers. This airline won't use the indicator. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I feel sure there is room on this tour for you guys. I think you could go on and book online with them and put in the notes that you are on the Venezia and want to be included in the van with the other cruisers.

If you want to keep in touch, my email is artc6114 at gee mail (type it properly, the subterfuge is to just to keep the scammers from harvesting my email too fast). I'd be happy to share my cabin number privately so perhaps we can touch base on board prior to arriving in the Azores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are interested, you book directly with Pure Azores but I would appreciate you letting me know you signed up for it. Should be a great tour!

gortfamily Posted April 21, 2023 #240 Share Posted April 21, 2023 my apologies for the delayed response. We have a commitment in Ponta Delgada until noon, I would think the tour would be on its way to the wonderful places by that time. We have never been to Ponta Delgada so we'll do the city this time and we'll have to come again! I know you all would have a great time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkkjcolter Posted April 21, 2023 #242 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Hello this is Jerry & Krista Colter of Ohio. We would like to join your Azores tour. We emailed and asked to join the tour. Should we wait or just book the 9am tour and say we want to be part of the Venezia group? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excursion1 Posted April 21, 2023 #243 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Wonderful, you will round out the group to 8. Look forward to meeting you soon on what promises to be a memorable voyage!

Thanks for letting us joint your group! That's great, Jerry and Krista! I think that makes 8 in our van so the tour should be a go. I will email Filipe the first of the week and see if he confirms we are a go. You can email me at artc6114 at gee mail (sorry for the subterfuge but I think you get it) and we can trade cabin numbers so we can touch base on the ship. I think it would be helpful to all meet up beforehand or at least talk to come up with a plan for that morning to eliminate any problems meeting our guy. Look forward to meeting all you guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
