Great guide and she says she can customize tours. I told her that I was listing her info on CC and she was very happy 😁 Thnx. I will contact her directly and will refer to your post on CC 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big crowd already and they don’t open for an hour. Got a number from the woman in front. Thats a lot of people!! But i notice the sky is mostly blue. Did you like the beer? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our driver dropped us at the base of a walkway which led upwards to the ticket booth. Probably a 8-10 minute walk. Thank you!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We love cruising but afraid we will feel rushed because it will be our first time in Italy! We are also leaning toward NCL (normally carnival loyal) because of the fewer sea days…oh the decisions! We've done both, and I recommend it as a land trip. It gave us time to explore without needing to rush every day to see everything. We rented a car and drove from Venice > Florence/Pisa > Rome > Pompeii/Amalfi > eastern coastline > Venice. We spent our last few days in Venice but ditched the car at the airport. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ninjacat123 Posted October 27, 2023 Author #797 Share Posted October 27, 2023 We checked out Cody Fisher, funny magician and it was fun. I guess Carnival flew him in for two performances then flew him back to home. Seems like odd money spending but what do I know? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ninjacat123 Posted October 27, 2023 Author #798 Share Posted October 27, 2023 (edited) Had dinner then took a pic with our waitstaff. Santos, Robinson and Dejan were great and I gave them an extra tip on top of our prepaid gratuities.
