jabcruiser Posted August 22, 2021 #1 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Glad we decided to avoid Italy/Venice for awhile and booked a Hawaii/French Polynesia cruise instead with our FCC from cancelled TA last year. Interesting article from CNN on Venice transportation issues right now. This in addition to the problems caused by ban on cruise ships in Venice. Wonder if people will even be able to get to Venice from the alternate ports. https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/venice-armed-guards-boats/index.html Jane 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare VMax1700 Posted August 23, 2021 #5 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Are there no armed guards in USA? This article is more about the transport system not reacting to the increase in demand. Queues always appear longer if proper social distancing is maintained while queueing. And there are always the few who believe that the rules don't apply to them. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Hlitner Posted August 24, 2021 #7 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Just reinforces our decision to go to the Greek Islands (just returned) where the number of visitors on an island is limited by hotel rooms. Venice tends to attract many day visitors. In fact those of us who have spent nights in Venice know that the Venice after 6pm becomes a lot quieter and more charming.
