- Chapter 2 of our cruise vlog series from Odyssey of the Seas, and we’re off the ship heading to the village of Oia on the stunning island of Santorini.
We took an excursion through Royal Caribbean to the other side of the island. However, things didn’t go exactly as advertised, and Glen was left with a couple of options which were not appealing to him. Did Royal Caribbean lie to us? Was the excursion miss-sold, or did we misunderstand?
Find out in this new video from our ongoing series from this amazing Quantum Class ship as we sail the Greek islands.

This is such an amazing video it’s very honest and a real eye opener and if you’re planning a trip information like this is needed. Thank you gentleman.
Thanks so much, glad you found it useful. Also check out our Mykonos and Turkey video if the itinerary interests you.
Looks like you had a great time. I can imagine how busy it was with 3 ships in
Wait for our Mykonos vlog, it can get worse!
Excellent as always, yet to visit Santorini but whilst it looks picture postcard beautiful it all looks a bit of a chore!
It is a chore, Andy, but one you gotta do at least once. Thanks for your comment!
Very helpful Gentlemen! We're on the same route in May. I also have a terrible fear of heights and am not sure about the cable car.
Hey John and Louie, Glen here. I kinda had no choice and as such, coped as best I could. Getting on is a challenge as the steps to board the cars are very steep and once aboard, if you’re facing the direction of travel, you are going to see a whole lotta stuff you don’t wanna see (if you’re acrophobic, of course).
Walking down is no better, in my opinion; very steep zigzag cobbled pathway down the cliff-side, shared with convoys of donkeys. But please don’t let that stop you exploring this beautiful island, just close your eyes, grit your teeth and it’s soon over.
Sounds like a proctol exam but ok.....@@AntandGlen
Great video. Was the seas stormy during your trip as concern about motion sickness? Thanks
Thanks Steve, glad you enjoyed. No motion to speak of. Our cabin was midship which does help, but barely felt movement at all. Are you thinking of doing a similar itinerary?
Excellent video, very informative… my only questions are were you in port from 1pm - 11pm? Also how long did it take from the time you got into town until the time you were back on the ship? Also what time of day was that? I know you said you were on line for an hour. We are visiting Santorini in July on Odyssey and we see there are several ships in port that day. We were thinking of doing dinner in Fira before heading down the cable car but your video made us nervous to do that. We are in port late so I’m wondering if that’ll help on getting back. Thanks for your help…
Thanks so much for your comment, Jamie. Cannot remember the exact docking times, but it was certainly earlier than your scheduled times. I think we must have departed 6pm give or take an hour and we were one of the last tenders to leave. Would the cable car be quieter later? Who can say - I would check it out when you are there and make a call if you are comfortable dining in Fira and getting back down in time. You will certainly love the place!
May I ask how you found out there are several ships in port that day? We will also be there, on Odyssey, in July
We are thinking of booking an greek island cruise with Norwegian on the Viva next year and my Mom is macedonian so we will probably visit the greek orthdox church as well
That looks a fantastic ship, have a great trip and enjoy Santorini!
I’ve booked this for next September with the family. I’m just wondering for Santorini do you need to book excursion with the cruise ship or did you just make your own way? Also for the other stops would you book your own excursion or book with ship for convenience? Thankyou I’m first time cruiser. 😊
Congrats on booking your cruise! For shore excursions, you can book with the cruise line (more expensive, but guaranteed to get you back to the ship) or independently (better value, more flexible options, does carry a risk of missing your departure). For your first time, it might be good to use the ship’s excursions.
We made the mistake of visiting Capri on the weekend when the cruise ship were there. So crowded could really enjoy the beautiful island.
Hey Tracy, good to hear from you! We would love to visit some of these places as a land-based trip and time it so we avoid the cruise crowds
What time of year did you go?
This was September
I would have took the steps
Brave man, Dave!
