Thanks for the info and the quick reply.

Thanks for the info and the quick reply.

Our itinerary has changed due to weather. We are on Odyssey OTS and are skipping the Azores. So instead they have added a 5 hour stop in Funchal. We are there tomorrow from only 5:00 pm to 10:00 pm. Are there shops close by that might still be open? Is there an outstanding restaurant nearby? Anything close to port to see in that short of time? TIA!

We are on Odyssey OTS and just had a port change. we are skipping Azores and have added Funchal. We are only there 5:00 to 10:00 pm. Anything close by to see? Any outstanding restaurants close by?

Agree! I get offers for FL and CA but need Galveston!!!

Would love this but didn’t get the invite! Not the big gambler some of y’all are!

Agree

Has anyone on here done the city tour through the cruise line? It says it is a walking tour. How hilly/ steep is the walking area of ponta Delgado?.

On Odyssey OTS...which balcony rooms have the largest balconies? (Not suites...just "balcony" cabins.) Particularly interested in 1C but also curious about other categories. Please list specific cabin # and category. I realize not all balconies in the same category are the same size....therefore, greatly appreciate cabin numbers/locations/ all specific details you can list. Thanks to all of you experienced Odyssey cruisers!

We did the ship’s tour to Cinque Terre last spring. (We went by mini bus not boat.). There was lots of uphill/steep walking. I did it with medical conditions but I would definitely consider it strenuous.

I love bakeries!!! I love focaccia!!!

Is this restaurant in La Spezia or Porto Venere? Thanks again!

Thanks! Will check them out!

Oh no! The tapas place looks terrific but the website says they aren't open on Mondays (and guess what! We will be there on a Monday!!) Darn!

Sounds perfect! Thanks so much!

No. The lounges are overcrowded as it is. With the drink vouchers there really isn't a need to go "hang out" or even "drink" in the lounge. If you need to see the concierge then go in most definitely but no need to take a guest with you.

No....we have always gone "out and about".

Noon to 8:00 pm on Monday Oct 30. Thanks!

Roger.... What would you recommend for our group of 6 to 8 based on the following.... We would prefer to do something possibly nearer the port. We have done the Drach Caves. We have done Valdemossa. We have done the Nadal Academy. Some of us have mobility issues (no wheelchairs, etc just don't need 100 stairs or steep hills to climb). Maybe somewhere with a nice lunch? Some shopping? History? Architecture? We had to walk 3+ miles last time to get the rental car so no rental car this time!!!! Need something with a taxi from the ship or a tour guide that picks us up at the ship, etc. Thanks so much!!!

Any particular things to see? Are there great little shops with Italian products? (olive oil, etc) Any great restaurant for lunch? Any recommendations for transportation to get there from the ship? Or a tour guide? Thanks so much!

Thanks so much to everyone!!!

Nope. Definitely La Spezia. Did Livorno many years ago but the CT tour was definitely from LS.

Is Johnny Rockets serving free breakfast? Was there a headliner show? (Sorry....I did a search in the thread and nothing came up.) Thanks so much!

Thanks for the suggestion of Portovenere. Don't know what to say about our experience of CT. Not sure why it took so long. Maybe our driver/guide took us on the "long way"?!? Just know that everyone in the mini-bus were "green" and wanting to kiss the ground when we got to the first village and for sure when we returned to the port.
