I was in group 27. But my cabin steward came and took the tags back. There is an updated departure timing document and new tags coming. Things are still fluid on the ship as they try to pin things down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottraveller Posted May 20, 2023 #31 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Ha ha that’s great. Just phoned Royal Caribbean and as I expected there was no update. Guy was trying to fob me off that they will transfer guests from Ravenna to Trieste. When I told him that would take at least 5 hours he re-read his script and changed it from Venice to Trieste ( takes 2.5 hours he said). He’s been told that the cruise on 28th is as planned, going from Ravenna. I’ve what’s app’ed my hotel in Ravenna this morning and they have advised that some of the back streets in Ravenna area have now cleared and are open again. However, the railway line between Bologna and Ravenna is still closed. I’m presuming that they’ve had landslides as well as flooding to contend with. Clearing that from a railway track will take time I guess. He also told me that I’ll get an email if things change re embarkation. I asked him when that would happen and he said if arrangements change and if they don’t I won’t get an email. I told him that was absurd being left on the hook so to speak. I’ll phone back on Monday as I will not be fobbed off easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our luggage tags have disappeared . We are on a full package with Royal Caribbean, so we are laid back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We refuelled and loaded at 30 lorry loads of supplies and provisions in Athens this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted May 20, 2023 #37 Share Posted May 20, 2023 For anyone on board, visit the NextCruise desk looking for vacancies on the next sailing - it might be simpler than Trieste. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCL doesn't re-supply at Ravenna, Athens (Piraeus) is the supply point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottraveller Posted May 20, 2023 #43 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Thanks for posting this sowhat. That’s pretty early for the departure to Bologna airport but completely understandable. I presume these transfers are booked on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also have the Italian strike on 26th to contend with, which makes even getting from VCE to our hotel a challenge! I sure hope you don't mean 29th May as all being well we’ll be in Kotor on that day 😜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
