Looking forward to following along! Have a wonderful anniversary cruise! Congratulations on your retirement. 
 

Pompeii is one of my favorite locations to visit and you made a great decision to avoid the tour with all the shopping stops. Thank you for the great photos, too!

Thanks everyone! Bar hopping RN trying to find a bar that knows how to make an espresso martini. No luck so far.😂

In Santorini is there a ferry to Oia, once you get off tender?  If, so how much per person?

Did you do the stairs up or down?

the water taxi ties up to the same pier the tenders use.  There is no schedule.... it only leaves when its full or close to full. Holds 75+ pax.  It can sit for an hr waiting for enough pax.

 

Ticket is 3o euros. when you get to Amoudi Bay, a van will take you most of the way up the cliff to Oia, and you will be given a bus token for the ride to Fira. Bus leavs hourly.  When you get to Fira, you must take the cable car down to the tender or walk the donkey stairs.

Just back from NCL Escape from Cvi, can highly recommend MY Lord just in that little square behind the B&B we also stayed in the Square

Great photos around Civi! Are there still lots of vendors with their junk spread out on the sidewalk on a sheet? There were many of them along the waterfront sidewalk the last couple of times we visited,  but that was pre-covid. Some were pretty aggressive and came up to our table at a restaurant.

Some but not too many that we noticed.

We had an excellent dinner at a place along the side streets. The pasta was amazing!

Up having breakfast! The ships are all in port!

[HBCcruiser]

The port is a little odd. We walked with our luggage to a bus stop that took us to where we board a second bus that takes you to the ship terminals. It took us 5 minutes to walk to the first bus.

Great review. Your B&B looked like a very good choice. 
 

Thanks, enjoy!

Oh man...was on the Epic this time last year on a Mediterranean Cruise.  This brings back a flood of great memories.  Looking forward to this.

 

Thanks!

Major internet issues. I bought the StarLink  upgraded package but it does not work! Trying to get refunded. Oh and our concierges are duds. Boo. More later when I can post.
