Thank you. I also saw that the Rhapsody of the Seas (1,996 max passengers) and the Viking Neptune (930 max passengers) will there as well. I am confident that we can be on an early tender leaving our ship. My research also shows that passengers on any ship organized excursions will tender to a different port at Santorini, allowing the rest of us to go to the "Old Port". This SHOULD help, if correct....as many people buy the ships excursions. (they were all sold out for Santorini when we booked the cruise....we generally shop around as well) However, these ship purchased excursions may leave passengers at the top after the excursion, requiring them to use the cable cars to return to the tenders at the Old Port. Regarding paying for the cable cars with a credit card, I have seen both yes and no, so I am hoping for a recent experience to confirm. (Perhaps this ability has changed?) I plan to buy Euros at a bank ATM in Fira, and will then have Euros for the return cable car tickets. Thank you again for all answers!

New member here...thanks for any help! We are stopping at Santorini Nov 4 on Enchanted Princess. We are seniors with some mobility issues. We have booked a 3 hour tour (sounds ominous!) through Viator to meet "at the top of the Cable Car" at 9:00 AM. Princess says we will be there at 7AM, and we are Elite so I hope we can/will be on an early tender. We are early risers. My 1st question. I have read both answers: will we be able to purchase Cable car tickets with a credit card? YES or NO? 2nd question. I am certainly hoping we can meet the tour at 9AM...BUT I AM able to change our tour to depart at 11AM, but then we will possibly get involved with a long cable car line to descend....ship sails at 6 PM. I would rather do our tour, have some time to walk around on our own, then return to the shop. without standing for more than an hour, as I am really not able to stand that long. Should I change to the 11AM tour? Thanks for any help!
