Fr/italian Rivieras sept 11th dept

Thinks of taking the free air offer for the 14 day cruise on

Flyer. Any feed back on the Flyer and especially the cruise would be helpful. Have been on the Royal but not the Flyer

thanks

Can't let the mistakes continue:

It should have read Fr/Italian RIVIERA Sept 11 departure

and THINKING of taking the...

Just could not let the spelling mistakes continue.

Thanks

75 views and not one reply to either info. on Flyer or the Western Med. cruise area.

Surely someone has some info or has knowledge of a web site that has more information to give.

Norm -- Haven't been on the Flyer (twice on Royal), or to that particular part of the Western Med, but maybe this will break the ice and someone with something to say will join in. Meanwhile, try searching prior posts, or just scrolling down through prior topics until something relevant pops up.

 

You also might look at the Windstar boards on this site, where there seem to be lots of comments on the ports at least.

thanks for the idea for future search. I have also been on the Royal and a great ship and cruise was had. Just not sure what to expect with the med. cruise locations.

We are mostly island travelers.

thanks again

We have been on all three but we like the two smaller ships a tad better. However, that can sometimes be overridden by destination/cruise area. They are all a great experience. Have 2 more lined up! :D

FYI--not too many people post on the Star Clipper threads compared to other lines. However, from our experience, the people are great, well traveled, intelligent, and a lot of fun!:rolleyes:

The Star Flyer is a great ship, spit and polish all the way with TLC. My experience was 17 days on the ship in Tahiti, c'e magnifique! The crew were wonderful, the food, delicious, and the atmosphere most welcoming and , intimate, and not overbearing. I even fished with the crew! We Too are interested in learning of others' experiences with Star Clippers in the Med. as we are sailing The Flyer for 2 weeks, Sept. 11-25, celebrating my wife's birthday on the 12th.

justjoejj,

also on the Sep 11-25. See you there. Just trying to figure out how to pack with either summer or Fall clothes. Maybe some of both. If anyone has been in the Med. in Sept, would be great to hear their advise.

September in the Med should be warm still . However, I would pack a few cotton sweaters for layering if necessary.....

 

- we've been in the South of France in October and November and still been wearing shorts and T shirts, other times lighting the woodburning stove!!

Also thinking of what to pack being also primarily island voyagers; Tahiti was so easy; guess the best way is in layers as suggested by our friend M from the UK. Are you flying into Nice? Our plane arrives 11:40 AM and we are seeking the most cost efficient transport to Port Hercule in Monte Carlo.

[normca]

We arv. Nice at 0845 from JFK via Delta. Have arranged trans. thru Star Clippers for rt. Think that is the no stress way to go.

We are also island sailors and will pack using the layer method. But think the weather will be warm. We are 2 couples from NC

We did Venice to Rome on the Royal Clipper last September. The weather in the Adriatic was disappointing - some rain, a lot of cloud and not much sun or warmth. However, as soon as we hit Corfu the weather improved dramatically and we had spectacularly good days until we reached Rome - when a thunderstorm greeted us in Civitavecchia.

 

Short answer to your question - be ready for anything and use layers, including something waterproof!
