Yay — we’re boarding tomorrow!!! We’re here in Venice, spent the day toodling around on the water busses which is interesting in its own self. But now trying to figure out the best way to get to the passenger terminal. Is the people mover the best option? Do they have everything well marked once you get there?

 

Where are you staying?  We are taking a water taxi from the Hilton (as was recommended by the concierge).

I believe I have some good news.

In January 2020 I posted on a thread that the OBC for Future Cruise Deposits had changed and did not take into account the different categories of staterooms.

Well they must have thought long and hard on this over the pandemic, because at the Future Cruise Consultant's desk is the current OBC, which offers OBC up to $500 per person.

(If I am wrong about these details, please post, as I am working from memory.  But I do think that it is a much better deal now!)

I still happen to have the exact same flier that I pick up during 2/2/2020 cruise.

Our navigator app is showing the Eurodam is in Trieste tomorrow. Have they changed the boarding port from Marghera to Trieste? Has anyone seen the same thing on their navigator app?

Sorry to read this. I’m curious though, where in the Navigator app did you find it?  I went through everything and can’t find it.

Well I had a bit of a disaster last night and have either pulled a muscle in my back or damaged a nerve.  It is almost impossible to move from sitting or lying down.  I am kinda ok when walking as long as I don't stop.  

This morning after breakfast we took a taxi into Mestre centre to go to a Farmacia to purchase Voltarol gel for my back.  Ellen suggested that embalming fluid may be a better choice 😭

As the pain eases as I walk, we walked around the town centre for a while and then had a light lunch of pizza slice, macron and latte macchiatos

 

Then it was time for gelato (purely medicinal!)

 

Sorry to hear about your pain. I once flew cross country for a wedding and arrived with pain as well. I went to our hotel spa, explained my pain and asked if they had an available massage therapist. His massage was more of a medical or therapeutic massage where I worked with him rather than just lay there. By the morning I was good as new. Maybe ask your hotel if there’s something like that close by. Hope you feel better. 

THank you for your replies

As part of renting the Private Oasis Palm Package on Half Moon Cay, the description says there is an ‘iPod music system’. Could someone who’s been there tell me if the usb cord that I charge my iPhone with works with the music system there? I called HAL but they didn’t know and will have to look into my question.
