Not sure why RCL is still trying to make it appear that Venice and Ravenna are next door to each other YES THIS!!!! I was so vocal about RCCL's continued misleading advertising, I cannot believe they've not been sued by any one of the many folks who wake up in Venice to "get a cab" to the ship, only to find out its 3 hours away. We heard so many nightmare stories last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzfool Posted April 19 #53 Share Posted April 19 Last year, we flew into Bologna and planned to take the train to Ravenna a few days prior to our cruise, however torrential rain flooded the area with lots of damage to infrastructure, including railway tracks and needless to say, no trains to Ravenna. Lucky for us we were a few days early & as we stood hopeless at the ticket machine, I happened to catch sight of a Celebrity Cruises bus outside the railway station and they kindly let us hitch a ride to the port where their ship was leaving from also a few days before our RCCL ship. We then got a taxi to Ravenna where we stayed at a lovely airbnb. Having a plan is awesome, having a back up is best. We took the RCLL bus from Ravenna to Venice on the return. Sold on board, very reasonable, very easy and prompt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they ought to look at a map once in awhile before traveling? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't like other European places where the port is listed for the city, like, Civitevecchia, (Rome), Piraeus (Athens), as those are the ports for those cities, but Ravenna is not and never will be the port for Venice.
