Ugh, sorry, I put Palma de Cruz in the search and it took me here, I didnt even realize it took me to the wrong place!

We have a cruise stop on Casablanca on 9/30/24 and will be in port from 9am - 6pm. Does anyone have a tour guide/company they would recommend for a tour of Rabat and Casablanca?

Hello Roger B! I see your favorite cruise line is Oceania - it is ours also! We will be on Vista at the end of September and will stop in Santa Cruse de la Palma, a new port for us. We are a group of 9. What would your recommend for first timers to do? Tour? DIY? Would very much appreciate your advice so I can start planning. We are pretty much open to anything. 🙂 Thanks for any help you can provide!

Looking for some help with shore excursions for our September cruise on Vista (do not like cruise ship excursions). I tried the Ports board and not finding answers. We want to do whale watching in either Funchal or Tenerife ~ has anyone done this in either (or both) ports that could help us decide which place to do it in and/or have a company they would recommend? Does anyone have a tour they would highly recommend for Casablanca? Open to any suggestions. Thanks!

Thanks for the post. I found this tour thru a booking site and sent an email based on your recommendation. Hopefully they are available to take us this September!

The ship does not get to LeVerdon until 2pm and all aboard will be at 6:30. If there is an hour drive there and an hour drive back that only leaves you a vist of about 2 hours. I am still looking for one more couple for my Bordeaux tour of the Medoc area that will pick us up at the port in Bordeaux and drop us off at the port in Le Verdon. It is full day and the cost is 300 euro for a couple plust tasting fees. Please email me at gbits[@]optonline[.]net if you would like to fill that spot.

I organized the Meet & Greet for the Vista cruise leaving Trieste next Saturday. I emailed the groups department (groupsOCI@oceaniacruises.com) and they got it approved for me. They will provide a segregated area for the gathering (usually, but not always, in Horizons) with servers to take drink orders and a table for name tags (that I am making and bringing myself). I had to provide a list of attendees with their cabin numbers so they can send invitations to each persons stateroom. I asked if any officers could attend and was told it will depend on availability. Kiara was very helpful. Will let you know how it goes after next Saturday. We had 52 sign up.

I only see the crab cake as an appetizer. Is the cobb salad the kale & chicken salad?

I don't see the short ribs, swordfish or cobb salad ion the menu posted by the first poster ~ are these young to be specials?

our Vista cruise. Any shuttle updates? We docked there last September on Marina. You have to take the train to Dublin, no shuttle. The train station is walking distance from the port. We got off at whether Pearse or Tara stop, I can't remember which. I think it was a 20 minute ride. We bought the tickets right at the station from a machine.

We were on the Oceania Marina last September that overnighted in Bordeaux. I used Ophorus for tours each day, one to the Dordogne and the Lescaux Caves and the other to St Emilion with wine tastings. I formed groups using my roll call and wound up with 4 vans of 6-8. Nancy was fabulous in helping me plan and all 4 guides were terrific.

We arrive in Venice 2 days pre-cruise and the second night is my husband’s birthday. Looking for a restaurant for dinner with a view or atmosphere and good food that won’t break the bank (200€ or under per couple) for 4 of us. TIA!

What company did you use if you recall?

What company are you using for the tour?

I asked my husband's family about Electra Metropolis. They were not familiar with that hotel so couldnt get you any info on that one, sorry.
