October 10 cruise out of Venice

[nelson]

Would be interested in any info any one has on shore excursions for this cruise. Would also be interested in sharing a private guide for these excursions. Nelson

If you go to http://www.oceaniacruises.com and click onto cruises and destinations in the left corner it will take you to excursions where you will be asked to give booking number, name and cruise date, the individual excursions as well as packages for your cruise will be there. It will give a description of the excursions, length of time and cost. Hope this helps you out.

I was referring to private tours--not going in a group from the ship. Nelson

Venice, Dubrovnik can be done on your own and Santorini ( unless you want to see Akrotiri -which shouldn't be missed- then you will need to have a way to get there) here is a website for info..

I have used all of the following people and highly recommend them..

for Rhodes driver- Nick

Claudia:

Do you by any chance have a list or website of Corfu's jewellery shops (in English), such as from the local yellow pages or tourist shopping guide? Thank you.

No Meow. But, you might try emailing the driver above Dimitrius ( he runs the whole taxi /driver deal) in Corfu and is also a driver. He should perhaps be able to give you some names of companies?

Oh and I googled this for you:

Do You Have Any Particular Idea What Cabin If We Go For The Suite Which Cabin Number We Should Look For? Oceania Is Having Such A Great Deal For The Specials Now That I Would Like To Try It With The Wife. Let Me Know What Cabins You Would Suggest As The Inside Scoop Is Great..

 

Thanks - Dennis:)

Hi Dennis, My top picks would be these:

Any cabin on 8th floor esp. liked the location of # 8005 ..close to elevator. These cabins are very spacious w/ balconies and include treats and butler service.

any cabins at the aft ( rear) of the ship - something special about being back there ( to us anyways).

7th floor cabins 7116 or 7121 which are smaller cabins then the penthouse cabins but still have balcony and they are between the owners suites which are cabins 7114 & 7119

6th floor 6090 & 6093 ( the same as above) and ofcourse owner suites 6088 and OUR cabin always 6091!

have a great time!
