Change in itinerary

[jctdlt]

Anyone heard that Venice port has been changed to Trieste as early as April ?

Venetian authorities cutting down on big ships in the city and Grand Canal.

Yes- Venice is cutting back on cruise ships 20% (large ships will be banned in the future but Regent is not a big ship - only 49 tons). With all of the cruise ships sailing in and out of Venice, I would think that very few itineraries would change. While yours could be one of them, the website still shows Venice. Have your TA double check with Regent.

Thank you. Will have her check again. See that you are going on Cape Town to Cape Town, we are too. Sounds fantastic!

Are you doing the Cape Town to Cape Town. Maybe we should start a Roll Call:)

Venice

You were correct. April cruise still out of Venice.

 

Yes we are on Cape Town cruise. Another couple on Venice cruise is too. That makes three of us. Need a roll call. You want to start it

CC has a board that deals with Italy Ports.

Keep checking there for the latest on status of cruise ships into and out of Venice.

 

There is a thread that has been dealing with that specific issue. "Warning About Venice"

I suggest reading the entire thread, but if you want the latest info (Feb. 11, 2014):

We do not sail into Venice until April, 2015 so I should know before then.

For some reason the cut and paste for the last link did not work correctly so I am trying again.

Super!

 

Just a quickie post to say that I put the roll call in the wrong place. It has not been corrected.:o
