Silly question about Adriatic cruise

[dln929]

We're going on the Voyager and on the first night it leaves Venice at 5 pm. On the schedule it says "arrival in Koper, Slovenia 8 am." No way it takes all that time to get to a place that's so close by! What does the ship do? Sit in the water and idle until morning? I'm just curious. (first cruise ;))

I assume it just takes it very easy!

I am doing same trip in July so will let you know.

they have to stop in Livorno first to pick up some food for the Windjammer

Thank you Karen! I hope you write a review. I've never been on a cruise before and I've never gone to any of the ports we're visiting, either. I'm dying of curiosity about everything.

First belly laugh of the morning and on a Monday, too. :D:D:D

Not a silly question at all. I've been on cruises where we've spent a sea day in between close ports or spent all night travelling a short distance (such as Venice to Koper) and either the ship travels very slowly (which will likely be the case on your cruise) or you "detour" a little off the straight route, which is what we did on a sea day in between Livorno and Civitavecchia. Have a wonderful cruise - that itinerary looks fantastic.

PLEASE do post a review of your trip. That's the cruise I'm already looking at for summer of 2012 (whenever they finally release the dates/itinerary). We're doing our first Med cruise this coming summer and since I will miss Venice and DH has always wanted to go to Dubrovnik, it would be the perfect itinerary for us.
