Sounds like it will be an amazing trip. Wishing you safe travels, and a wonderful cruise. Looking forward following along.

Interesting, the “Book shore excursions and pay using OBC” online does not show as an option on my upcoming cruise, and I do have OBC available. I have already used some of my OBC to pay for excursions by calling. I also did not get that email.

@island lady thanks so much for taking us along on your adventure, really have enjoyed following along. Safe travels home.

Glad you made it to Singapore safely. Enjoy the rest of your trip!

As others have mentioned, Visby is easy to do on your own. Nice little medieval town. Many interesting ruins of ancient churches. Had a nice drink and snack sitting in one of the town squares. in Ronne (Bornholm), the town is a very short walk from the ship. It’s a pretty little town, but not much in it. We took a cruise line tour that took us around the island, which was really nice. We visited one of the interesting round churches, stopped at a beautiful beach, visited a fishing village, and stopped in another small town (sorry, don’t remember the name) where there were a lot of shops that did glass blowing, and a lot of small cafes. I don’t think it would be easy to do all that without a tour. Enjoy your cruise, sounds like a lot of wonderful ports.

In checking out shore excursions for my Mediterranean cruise this summer, I was surprised at how much some of the non Azamara options I was looking at were. In many cases, they were very similar price to the Azamara ones. I think in general excursions have gotten pricey. Luckily, several of the ports we just plan on doing on our own.

We visited Bornholm on a cruise in 2022. We had an excursion from the cruise line that we enjoyed. Basically did a tour of the island. Visited a few of the round churches. Stopped at a beautiful beach, visited a fishing village. Also stopped in a town (don’t remember the name) where they did glass blowing. We had time before our excursion so we walked around the town of Ronne where the ship docked. Pretty town, we visited one of the churches and some of the shops.

Thank you all for this fabulous cruise report. Really enjoyed following along.

I was also going to say the same thing. We recently had a post cruise flight scheduled that was changed by Delta. The new flight time was earlier than we wanted. We called, and were easily able to change to a later flight. Hope you’re able to work this out.

I understand your frustration. However, just because you never had a problem with this agency in the past, doesn’t mean that you couldn’t have a problem with them now. Mistakes happen unfortunately. You need to deal with the agency to straighten things out, and get to the bottom of the discrepancy, and find out exactly where the error was made.

Love the pictures of the icebergs, simply amazing!

Sorry you got sick. Hope you feel better quickly.

We finish our cruise in July in Chioggia. We’re taking the Azamara transfer to Tronchetto also.

Wishing you a wonderful trip. Sounds like it should be an amazing experience!

Thank you for your fabulous trip report. I enjoyed reading along. Safe travels home.

When we were in there on Pursuit in 2022, we docked in Gdańsk.

I don’t think it’s too early to book. I just booked flights for our cruise in July leaving from Barcelona. I’ve been tracking the prices since we booked the cruise, and they recently came down a bit, so we booked. Cruise does end in Chioggia (Venice), and we are flying home from Milan because it was $500 cheaper a person, we can take the train from Venice to Milan fairly cheaply, and gives us an opportunity to visit another city.

Thank you for sharing your cruise with us. Really enjoying all your photos. Hope the rest of your trip is wonderful!

Just an FYI, just logged into my Azamara account, and my missing OBC has re-appeared.

I just checked my booking, our OBC is not showing either, and it was the last time I checked.

So sorry to hear that your husband had a fall and is in the hospital. Hope and pray that he is doing ok.

@Jay19 thank you! Really helpful. Truly looking forward to our Mediterranean cruise!

@terry&mike Thank you! Very helpful information!

Thanks for your review. Sounds like a great trip. We are on a Mediterranean cruise in July on Azamara which also disembarks in Chioggia. Did you go to Venice from Chioggia after the cruise? If so, how did you get there? You said Sibenik was one of your favorite ports, we are going there also. What did you do in Sibenik? Thanks for taking the time to tell us about your cruise.

Have an awesome time. Hope your back isn’t too bad .
