Rare cruisemom42 Posted December 20, 2010 #1 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I wanted to start a thread asking previous VtoA cruisers to identify which ports on their cruises were tendered. I know there were some issues with tendering -- whether it involved the tenders themselves or the tendering skills of the crew, or just bad luck and rough waters..... At any rate, in trying to decide which Voyage(s) to book in 2011, I'd like to know which ports are tendered (and thus have a somewhat higher risk involved of missing them) versus ports where the ship is docked. It might be useful for others as well, particularly anyone that might have difficulty boarding a tender. I will start: Safaga: docked Sharm el-Sheikh: tendered Ein Sokhna: docked Beirut: docked Tartous: docked Latakia: docked Cyprus: docked Antalya: docked Athens: docked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ontariotrekker Posted December 21, 2010 #2 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Great idea for a blog. I'm not going to post my Pompeii trip yet. Hopefully someone who was on the later version of this cruise will post since they did re-jig some of the ports. Something people might include is how easy to disembark at the port.. we had to step off at some very narrow, damp steps a couple of times. - Shar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geologger Posted January 1, 2011 #3 Share Posted January 1, 2011 On the Egypt-Jordan VtoA cruise in November ("Time Fears the Pyramids") the Aegean Odyssey docked at all the ports-of-call including Sharm el-Sheikh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geologger Posted January 1, 2011 #4 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Thanks for the invitation to review my recent trip on the Aegean Odyssey. I have posted a detailed review on another site - would it be ethical to copy this to Cruise Critic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissMyst Posted January 1, 2011 #5 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Don't think there are any "ethics" problems with reposting your own cruise reviews here - pretty hard to re-write something new and novel for the same experience for different websites, right?. Hope you do post your review here as we are looking for any and all input for our trip on VYA next November (Palmyra Rival to Rome). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
