Anybody have experience with company Tours of Amalfi Coast?

Has anyone used company called Tours of Amalfi Coast ?

What was your experience?

You're right, of course. But that's the way it is.

 

For perspective - the Oceania wine markups Pinotlover reported are pretty much what you would see in a nice restaurant anywhere in the states. Wine (and liquor) are significant profit centers in the business.

 

Again, for perspective, we might eat out at a nice restaurant once or twice a month while at home so the markup is not too bad a hit. But on a cruise we are "dining out" every night and it adds up dramatically. The $25 corkage fee is a wonderful benefit on Oceania and rarely, perhaps never, seen on any other cruise line.

 

 

We do spend a lot of money on wine while on a cruise but Oceania's liberal policy basically allows us to drink a wine comparable to their $200 (plus gratuities) for maybe $75 ($50 + $25 corkage). Pretty good deal all things considered.

This is our first Oceania cruise. We were told that we were allowed 3 bottles of wine to be brought on board per statement for the duration of the cruise. In your experience do they hold you to that limit?

Tender in Amalfi

(y)(y)Thanks

Does the tender take you to Amalfi or Positano?

My husband and I are starting a group to tour Pompeii,Sorrento, and Positano on May 18 from Amalfi port.

Would love to have 1 or 2 more couples (van holds 8, but who wants to be crowded)
