Sloop-JohnB Posted December 6, 2011 #2 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Just wondering if anyone has booked this excursion through Celebrity? If so, how was it, enjoyable, too short, good value....?Thanks Hi Angel77, Would be helpful if you told us what ship you are sailing, and when. At first glance, I am thinking that you might be referring to the 2012 Mediterrean Cruises scheduled for September thru November 2012 in the "Immersive Europe Wine Cruises" series... (onboard the Constellation) if so, these are just a recently announced addition to Celebrity's European Itineraries (as of mid-October), so pretty sure that no one has taken these or similar Celebrity Excursions as of yet. Info from the Celebrity Website = http://www.celebritycruises.com/planAndBook/themeCruises/tabLanding.do?pagename=theme_cruises_gateway&tab=theme_104%2FplanAndBook%2FthemeCruises%2FthemeTabs.do%3Fpagename%3Dtheme_104%26promoType%3D104 Other wine cruises as part of the series in 2012 will be featured aboard the Solstice and the Silhouette Hope this is (somewhat) helpful, As I said we could use a bit more info to make sure this is what you are referring to with your Question... Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted December 6, 2011 #3 Share Posted December 6, 2011 The Constellation's immersive wine cruises aren't Mediterranean and don't go anywhere near Tuscany -- they sail in and out of Southampton and do France and Spain, but not Italy, so it can't be one of those cruises.

angel 77 Posted December 6, 2011 Author #4 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Thanks for the response. We are sailing on the Silhouette on April 22 TA from Cape Liberty to Rome. We will be in Florence/Pisa (Livorno) on May 4. I was looking at the shore excursion Celebrity was offering on the website and say this one (Tuscany Wine Tasting or Tour or something).

Rare Azulann Posted December 7, 2011 #5 Share Posted December 7, 2011 angel77, Before you book a ship tour check out http://www.guido-tours.it We hired Guido Bandinelli for a day tour from the port of Liverno. He first took us to Lucca, a walled town for the morning. Then on to a small winery. We had wine and olive oil tasting. We had a Italian lunch cooked by Ava, the owners wife, on their beautiful veranda overlooking the vineyard. It was like being in a painting of the Tuscan countryside. Guido customized this tour to meet our needs. He promptly replied to our emails. The best part is that he is a sommelier and really taught us about wines. I have done ship tours and also like the ones we picked. But for Tuscany, which I had been to before, I knew exactly what we wanted to do. Enjoy your cruise!

Rare Azulann Posted December 8, 2011 #8 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Angel 77, We had seven people for the day tour. If I remember right it was about $125.USD per person. This was back in Sept.2008. I organized the tour and got additional people from our roll call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
