How is the leg room in the vans? My DH and I are tall (not freakishly😉) and have long legs. Are we going to be cramped in the vans? We are booked for Florence & Pisa and possibly Pompeii & Amalfi coast? 

Well, after updating dates several times, the last updates were sent by form online  (noted at the top of this thread), we got tickets! I submitted the form at night and by morning had tickets. The only struggle is that it’s for the morning we arrive in Italy!😩 Oh well, I am thankful just to have tickets, regard how tired I’m going to be when we go!

I can’t imagine how discouraged and frustrated you must be. Your dates are pretty far out and so I’d think the chances of your requested dates being full is small. How many different date options did you give them?

Thank you for your kindness.❤️ I originally sent 2 days (sent from 2 different email addresses) then realized one of those days is the day we arrive in Rome!🥱😴 I never got a response, so I then changed it to 3 days as options not including the day we arrive in Rome. 

Well, I’ve emailed (several times from 2 different email addresses, one Gmail), I’ve submitted the form referenced above, and I’ve faxed them requesting dates for the first week of May 2024. I have heard nothing. I started emailing 10/1 and last 10/27, and faxed on 10/25. Does that mean they just can’t meet my dates or am I just one of the ones they haven’t gotten to yet?  Opinions? I will new so upset if I can’t get a reservation!😭

I used the email address on this form. I got a reply the same day. 
 

I had tried everything else with no luck. 
 

I hope it works for you. 

I still haven’t heard from them. We are requesting the first week in May, so I thought we would hear from them since you had heard from them for June.😞 I will try faxing next.

It worked!! I got a response !!

 

I am going to pay now. 
 

I have goose bumps. It is exciting. 
 

thank you so much 

Can you please tell me if you used the form mentioned above and what email address did you send it to? I sent one on 10/1 and have not heard anything. I used the same email address my friend used for her trip that worked: scavi@fsp.va 

I want to send another one through my Gmail just to make sure.

To use the SEARCH tool, for la Spezia threads, go to the Italy Boards forum, but stay on the general page, not an individual thread.  Insert la Spezia into the empty search box under your user name then hit the little spy glass and all previous threads containing that name will appear ready for you to choose which to read.  Works across other forums too, you only need be in the correct (according to CC) geographical forum.  Also works on cruiseline forums too.  As an example, if you go to the Princess Forum and want to ask about eg "laundry" go to the general Princess forum and insert the word "laundry" in the search box and hit the little spy glass. All previous threads with that word in them should appear.

 

May I please ask how to find the Italy Boards? I found the Italy Ports but not boards. Is that the same thing? TIA

Yes, there is a drying line in the shower.

So I can just bring clothes pins instead of needing magnetic hooks?

For hand washing, get some strong magnetic hooks for drying

Is there not a drying line in the shower? And what do the magnetic hooks attach to?

Our current sign (which is reusable) says Cruising from the port of XXXXX, NM with our names. The artwork is a silhouette of a ship at sunset.

 

Many people on our current roll call have ordered magnetic door signs from VistaPrint.com - I think we are keeping them in business. ;) And their prices can't be beat (free). :D

Where did you find the ship with the silhouette? I went to their site, but I can't find a free sign like that. I did find one with a palm tree, though, but not enough space to put what I want on it.
