  1. 8338 on Beyond was inside and quiet.
  2. looks like there's a british isles for may 2024 as well
  3. Thanks for sharing that Transeero. Never heard of it before but now have so thank you.
  4. Yes there is that option if your group is larger than 2 but for us, it was only 2. And of course, we could have done more effort to find others to ride share. Also, the ride shares tend to prefer cash. If you do credit card to the driver and/or site, they will take on a certain percentage.
  5. Just some thoughts from a frugal traveler. There are numerous reviews about the Celebrity Beyond ship so no need to rehash it here. Will say that the crew and ship was superb. No packages - just bare bones interior room. More than sufficient space for the two of us. We didn't do MDR or any of the specialty restaurants. Buffet was more than sufficient for us. Grill and pizza were fine too. Free pastries from the Café al Bacio (no need to have a drinks package or order any drinks from there). Shuttle to the airport post cruise. This can be ordered from Guest Services - current price was $71.95 per person. Did not need the more pricier private/shared shuttles from Rome to FCO. Made the 1030 flight (Guest Services says it's at your own risk since they can't guarantee that we'll make it). Walk off with your luggage at 0630 (there was a long line to get off). Don't need to wait for the luggage tag number time since there'll be a line to get off anyway. Make sure you find the bus with the correct number and get on the first bus that's loading (our time and terminal had 3 separate buses). If you don't know your terminal number, Guest Services can look up that information when you order the shuttle. 1 hour from port to FCO. Made with plenty of time to go through security. Recommend paying for the shuttle to Dubrovnik. It's walkable, but there's inclines and slight hills going from the port to the city. Well worth the $12.00 shuttle. Just note, their "all day shuttle pass" just means that you can come back at any time; it is not a multiple back and forth shuttle. Naples - We did a Mondo Shared Tours (Rick Steves). Well organized and worth paying for. Postiano (pricey), Sorrento (2 easily accessible and cheap WCs; cheaper than Postiano for souvenirs), and Pompeii. Temp in the ship was fine. I tend to run cold but no need for a sweater/jacket on the ship. Well worth saving money for the trip.
