Santorini

The ship arrived at 9 am, and Santorini is a tender port. Santorini was once known as Ancient Thera. We were not able to book the ship’s tour of Akrotiri, because those tours filled up before we booked the cruise. But we figured out how to do it on our own.

Ravenna

We had a 9 am transfer from Vienna to Ravenna. When we arrived at 8:30 am at the transfer pickup point, we found that our names were not on the transfer list, along with a number of others. They also couldn’t fill a bus with people as the luggage area would fill before the seats did. Our bus had 18 empty seats, and we got pulled out of line to get on because we had small luggage that would still fit below.

It’s a three-hour bus ride to the ship, so they needed to call additional busses to get everyone to the ship.

Venice

We had some issues getting to Venice. There had been weather delays in Newark, NJ for the past several days. The flight from Kansas City to Newark had been canceled the previous two days. We got on the plane, but after they closed the door but before the plane pushed back, the pilot announced a three-hour delay due to approaching thunderstorms in Newark. We all got off and waited.
