cruzduo Posted April 3, 2009 #1 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Anyone booked on the Celebrity Summit August 2, 2009 sailing from Venice to Barcelona? We are almost ready to book but would like to know a little more about excursions at the ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlijny Posted April 3, 2009 #2 Share Posted April 3, 2009 We are actually getting off the Summit on August 2nd (we embark in Barcelona). Since I am sure that the excursions are the same, what would you like to know? We have booked our excursions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CathyCruises Posted April 3, 2009 #3 Share Posted April 3, 2009 We did Barcelona to Venice last year and did all excursions on our own. These are easy ports to get around in, and you can save a whopping lot of money, plus have a much more 'real' experience, by going off on your own. You can actually spend more than your cruise fare on ship's excursions if you insist on taking them-- You should post this question on the Europe/Med boards--there is tons of info there.

cruzduo Posted April 3, 2009 Author #4 Share Posted April 3, 2009 :) Can you give me the names of the tours you booked. We would prefer to go on private and DIY tours at the ports. How easy was it to get others to come on the private tours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emtccdoc2 Posted April 3, 2009 #5 Share Posted April 3, 2009 My husband and I are booked for the Venice to Barcelona leaving August 2nd. Still have a a lot of research to do:o This is our first cruise on X and to the med. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adorable_kelly Posted April 4, 2009 #6 Share Posted April 4, 2009 We're excited!!!! This is our 4th cruise together and our first time on the Celebrity. If anyone can share any information, we'd love it. We've never cruised anything except the Caribbean so we can't wait to spend our honeymoon cruising around Europe. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbmam2 Posted April 4, 2009 #7 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Check out the reviews from the Summit on this cruise. I wrote an extensive one last year June 16th, along with several of our cruise critic friends. Also sign up for the roll call on your cruise to share your questions. I don't know how to post a link to the reviews, but if you do a review search on my name you can find it. Good Luck. This is a great cruise on a fantastic ship. We had a wonderful time.

MisterBill99 Posted April 4, 2009 #8 Share Posted April 4, 2009 If you are looking for people on your cruise, then you should post on the Roll Call board. If you are looking for info on the cruise itself ,you should change the title (or repost) so it is not so specific since it can be answered by people who are not on that cruise who would not otherwise look at this thread. BTW does anyone have a link to menu scans for this 12 night cruise? I understand that Celebrity has recently changed their menus (again) but I'd like to get an idea of what they have as I've never done a Mediterranean cruise before.

jlijny Posted April 4, 2009 #9 Share Posted April 4, 2009 After doing a lot of research, and recommendations from cc members, we have decided to use: Revelations for our tour of Nice/Monaco/Monte Carlo/Eze/Saint Paul de Vence Romeinlimo for our tour of Florence/Pisa AND again in Rome Athenstaxi (Paul) for our tour in Athens Pepito Tours for a private tour of Montserrat, Spain We have decided to use a Celebrity tour in Naples.....Sorrento, Capri, and Pompeii. In Santorini, Dubrovnik, Venice, and Barcelona.....we are doing everything on our own. I hope this helps. I know that this Board has been very helpful for me.

jlijny Posted April 5, 2009 #15 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Thanks Jlijny for all your help with the tours. Any recommendations for a hotel pre-cruise in Venice? :) We're staying at the Londra Palace Hotel. They get very good reviews on Trip Advisor.....check it out. The hotel is right on the canal and within walking distance of everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
