Hey Joey...I'm also an anal planner - but hey it's so much fun.

Tonia ...good idea about sharing water taxi's. How many people do they take at a time?

I've lost track who all's staying at Locanda Orseola??

I'm confused :huh:

What are they calling a shuttle in this post. On our last trip on the Milliewe docked at all three of these ports - Civitavecchia, Livorno & Venice.

Civit & Livorno - both of these our tour guide was waiting right alongside the ship. No need for any type of shuttle. Venice is a water bus that transports you to St. Mark's Square, now I can see them starting to charge here, although I'm with the poster about nickel & diming!!!

Santorini cable car - to buy your tickets on board would be an awesome help - no standing in awful lines, but again price??? Are they making a major markup on these?

Santorini, Villefranche and Dubrovnik are all tender ports - now I had heard that X was going to charge for tendering? Any truth in this?

The way I hear the story... from the point the ship docks to the front of the pier in some locations is far enough for the cruiseline to operate a shuttle from point a to point b...now they are apparently charging for this service.$8.00 usd.. although to this point i haven't been able to get anyone from Celebrity to confirm.

You may want to write Claudio and verify they can still do this (could be a post 9/11 thingy)

If they didn't mark them up I would be really disappointed LOL happy but disappointed never the less :grin: :grin:

Have not heard a thing about that......this is my first... if they did that .. I would really be upset. :angry:

Charging for tendering??? How else can one get off the ship??? I don't really feel like swimming - to me a tender is more like a gangplank - just a way to get off the ship. Charging would certainly be a very petty action on the part to Celebrity.

We were there far more recently than 9/11 - maybe I'll ask Claudio as you suggested. The shuttle may be for people taking trains, because as I say the tour guides pull up close alongside the Mille.

I was lurking on CC earlier - Man the tone on that board is awful - oh I'm so happy to be here!
