    I will be doing the 10 day version of this cruise. I'm flying into and staying in Bologna 4 days early, training my way around Italy for those 4 days (iv prepurchased my train tickets. For the day of the cruise Iv got direct train tickets to Ravenna from Bologna. It's an 1hour and 15 min train ride. Then we've got the shuttle from the train station to the cruise port.
    My advice for anyone doing this cruise is that folks watch as much content from as many different creators as possible. I learned about Santorini from one creator, the embarkation port from another, and Mykonos from another, and Athens from another.
    Thank you for your vids and information, I very much enjoyed them!

      Could not agree with this more!! The more information you have the better!! We do the same before any trip! We always watch a ton of vlogs before any trip! Good to be as prepared as possible!

      @ryanandkala thank you so very much. Thanks, also, for sharing your experiences. I learned from your Santorini blog that reservations for a restaurant are a must, and so I'm in the process of researching that now, as there are 2 other ships in port with us that day. I did sign up for a little excursion just to get me off the ship to a tender, and to the top in as little time as possible, with the least amount of hassle.
      Looking forward to your next cruise blog. Cheers!!

    Regarding sleeping schedule, to avoid jet lag a day or two before your trip, try to stay awake as much as possible or vice versa that way the ff day your body will be able to adapt the time change. 😊. I used to do this trick whenever I go visit PI due to time/day difference.

  • @adventuresforthecurious

    Had to watch, because we did a Med cruise in May 2023. We did a private tour to Krka - it was fabulous! We had a driver and a licensed tour guide who picked us up at the ship. The area had such a horrible week of weather prior to our trip that our cruise port of Ravenna was not even open for us to leave from. When we were going to Split, the organized tours to Krka were all cancelled due to the flooding that had been happening there. Our guide literally found out after he picked us up that we were going to be allowed in to the park (he got on the phone because they were making a last minute decision). It was phenomenal and not very crowded that day since people thought it would be closed. While we walked in the park, the water was up to the boardwalks and the waterfall was so running so strong, that we got wet on that last bridge. On the way back to Split, we stopped at the Fortress of Klis - where the city of Meereen in GoT was filmed, and the views looking down at Split were spectacular! When we got back to Split, we went through Diocletian's Palace with our guide, and learned and saw so much! Some of GoT was filmed there too. Highly recommend a private tour guide!

      That’s always rough when the weather has other ideas and impacts excursions.
      We are slowly learning that private tours - although more expensive - are generally better worth the extra $$
