  1. Is there any update on this zip line.  We will be here in Jan 2023.  Is this opened for walk in and book independently?  At one time, we had to book through the ship.  Thanks

  2. Marazul, thank you for the parking info.

    we are renting the car from Nice train station.  We need to return the car by 6:00 pm.  How is traffic on Thursday in June to return the car from Cap  Ferrat? What time do we need to leave Cap Ferrat?

  3. Hi Hank, Greatly appreciate your feedback.  I have been thinking a lot about car rental vs public transportation.  We don’t like to rent car because fear of finding parking spot, small road driving, unable to enjoy the scenery while driving.  Anyway, you convinced me. We plan to rent a car while in villefranche to go to St Paul de Vence and Eze Village.  May add Cap Ferrat if we have time. 
    Looking for suggestions On best place to rent car from Villefranche port.  We may have to take the bus to Nice center.  Also advice in parking in St Paul de Vence and Eze village. 
    We were in Villefrance a few years back, waiting for bus #100 to go to Eze village but the bus never came.  Ended up spending the day in Nice.  This time, I had plan train/bus or Uber options to Eze village. But, now we will try to rent a car. 
    Thanks 

  4. We will be arriving Livorno from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm on Rhapsody of the Sea in June.  We want to maximize the time in Florence and ease of travel also.  This is our 2nd time in same port (previously on big ship Solstice).  We did Rome in Limo tour and we were not happy because we were rushed through.  We decided that next time we would DYI to Florence.  Now, we are looking at 2 options:

    1.  Ship excursion - Train to Florence 8h30m duration.  Starting at 8:00.  4 hours free time in Florence.  Surprised of the short time in Florence.  Tracing back train time, look like this excursion takes the 8:49 train (arriving 10:00) the  and return on the 2:28 pm train.

    Has anyone done this excursion?  Please help to confirm.

    2.  DYI - We should be able to take an earlier train and come back on the  3:00 pm train arriving 4:48pm.  

    Will we be able to get out early to catch the 7:30 train?  I found some little info that small ship docks closer to town.  Where does Vision class ship dock in Livorno?  Will we be able to walk to the train station or take ship shuttle to the train station?

    Thanks for your help.

     

     

  5. We will be in Cannes from 7:00 am to 8:00 pm in June. We would like to go to St Paul de Vence by train/bus in the morning, then spend time in  Antibes and Cannes in the afternoon.  Please help to advise best way to St Paul de Vence; train from Cannes to Cagnes sur mer + bus 400, or train to Nice + bus 400.  It probably depends on connection time.  I have difficulty to find the bus schedule.

    Thank you for the info about Bophut beach. We actually want to go to a resort and have nice massage. I contacted a couple of resorts and they don't arrange for transportation. I've read about extortion from taxi drivers to bring back people to the cruise ship at the end of the day on this island; thus, we don't want to stress over it.

  7. Has anyone taken Princess Shore excursion - Resort & Beach Gateway, USM-590? Description says it's a 4 star resort in Bophut Beach. Use of pool, amenities and Thai buffet lunch are included. Duration is 7 hours. We would like to find out

    1. The name of the resort? Does it have nice beach?

    2. What kind of amenities are included? Is kayak available?

    3. How is the food? is it good, authentic Thai food?

    Thank you very much for any info on this excursion

    We are trying to determine if we should take this ship excursion or independent island safari tour. Since it's a tender port which had some difficulties in tendering in the past, a long duration ship excursion is very attractive.
