Has anyone done this without going through the ship? It seems you take the same ferry to the island as everyone else (non ship tours). The ship excursion is set to start at 8 AM so that’s a lot of waiting around if the first ferry to the island doesn’t leave until 10 AM? And from reading online it is never guaranteed or your ship Medoc which can sometimes cause confusion if you do try and do it on your own. Price wise there is potentially quite a bit of savings but that is not factoring in transportation from where ever the ship docks to getting to where you to purchase tickets Does anyone have experience doing it either way and any recommendations?

Yes, some companies have large enough carts. LivTour is one, My Best Tour is another. If you use Viator you can search multiple companies and once and set your parameters for the number of people

Which company did you use?

I have read all the ways to hopefully combat jet lag but for the first few days when did you find yourself at your best? We wanted to book a few tours before sailing and am unsure if I should book morning tours or if you found you were more of a night owl? I am a Canadian currently on Central Time (7 hours behind Rome)

My issue is that when booking excursions/drink packages/etc the exchange rate is about 1.50 (a direct example is my pop package is 9.99usd but 14.99cdn) so I am wondering if the cruise price is at that rate also. I can’t do a dummy booking to see as the ship is sold out. I will try to call and see what the price would be in USD. Our final payment is next week and unfortunately I don’t think our dollar is suddenly going to get much better 🙁

We have done the golf cart during the day before and loved it. I am going with family members who haven’t been to Rome before in August and have recommended it. Would anyone be able to tell me if the evening one offers something different?

I know most people suggest leaving your account on board in USD but has anyone done the comparison of purchasing the cruise (and add on packages) in USD vs letting them convert it to Canadian? (Sailing Royal Caribbean if it matters)

Thank you Capt_BJ! I hadn’t thought of the difference in wind issue

Which of these rooms would you recommend? (and if it matters, it will be for the 8 night Greek Isles cruise)

Oops - sorry. Was originally looking at RCCL 😊 Can I delete this thread?

Does anyone have any experience with the Kids/Teen Club on Jade? Booked the Greek Isle cruise and was hoping my 13 year old would be able to make friends but all I can find from looking at posted itineraries is events that start at 11pm - we will be fast asleep by then 😆

Thanks! Maybe it’s just poor video quality. Do you know if there are any that are open? (I am one of those people who like the tiered balconies and not concerned about privacy)

I am wanting to book a balcony cabin but every photo/video I find makes them look like dark caves. The larger extended ones in particular look dreadful! Are there any that are more open than others? Something that gets more sun? Is it possible it’s just bad lighting in videos? I am not worried about privacy
