Croatia is such a beautiful country. We love split and the dalmatian coastline, the islands are beautiful but not accessible from a cruise.

Hi Isabelle! Thank you so much for this wonderful and very informative video. You did a really great job. Me and my husband will be there on September to October this year. Did you guys stayed in the hotel before your cruise day? If so, can you share it to me. Did you go to other cities like Rome and Venice? If so, can you pls share your experience. Where you stayed and how did you get around. Thanks a lot. ❤️juliet

Great video.
Did you book your excursions with Royal ? If not, can you share the tour sites you used? Thanks.

[@Isabellefarah4]

Thank you! We didn’t book them through Royal. I attached all of the links to the tours we booked in the description👍🏻

[@maireniscruz593]

Hi! Great video! Question- did you book the excursions ahead of time or when you were on the ship?

[@Isabellefarah4]

Thank you! We booked the excursions around four months ahead of time which I recommend because things can get booked.

I’m doing this cruise next week but with Santorini instead of Athens.

Great vid! We are also going this July 30 with the same itinerary. Wondering what was your experience disembarking? Any recommendations how to get off the port going to the airport? Thanks!

[@Isabellefarah4]

We flew out of Bologna because it was the closest airport and we hired a private taxi since we were a group of 6. The cruise line does arrange motor coach transportation to the airport and train station. Passengers are given a number depending on your flight arrangements for the transportation so everything is very well organized. The website has all of the options for disembarking too. Hope you have a wonderful cruise!

@@Isabellefarah4 was the port difficult to find in Ravenna? (Since I assume you flying in and out of bologna, that’s where you embarked from)
My fiancé and I will be flying into bologna for our honeymoon in October for a cruise on the explorer of the seas so any tips you can provide for day of boarding would be super awesome! 😊

@@newmyster8839 ​Hi! Since we were a group of 6 we rented a private taxi to take us and we had no issues finding the port. Royal also provides you a designated time to embark the ship to make the process as smooth as possible. Hope you have a wonderful trip!
