Jim so many do not post they are on a cruise. Even guests that come on a lot of KLT cruises. We have 24 people on the SPL231113 cruise, a lot of them regulars only ONE couple I do not know. So lots of people you will know or get to to know pretty quickly.

I agree Jim! I love knowing who is cruising with me. Sadly we are not on this one though. But that said, Jerry and I have never not loved everyone we have ever met on a Ngaire trip and many are now life long friends. ——————- Helen

Checking to see if we have new people to put on the roll call. Please sign up!!
FYI In case you might be interested. In 2011 we were in Rome and used a guide that Kathy St. Vincent had suggested. She was fantastic and I have actually recommended her to 4 people who all used her and agree.
Jan & I are considering flying into Rome arriving on the 11th, do a 1/2 day tour outside the city the 12th, and then have her take us to the ship with maybe a short tour along the way. We will probably book a room at the Hilton Garden Inn close to the airport. If anyone would be interested in joining us, let me know. Currently it is just in the planning stage.

OK. I need some help. When we disembark the cruise in Miami, Jan and I decided to do a road trip. Going to do highway A!A from Miami to Charleston. So we have already made rental car arrangements, but don't understand how it works when we get off the ship. Says there is a " free", rental car shuttle that goes around every half hour picking people up. It takes you to 99 Southeast 2nd Street. Then what? Is that where the rental cars are located? Or do they have to take you somewhere else? Just hoping someone who reads this can give me some guidance.

Jim, I just checked Google maps and Google Earth for 99 SE 2nd Street. They show that there are Budget and Avis rental offices at that location.

Just made some changes to our plans. Arrive 11/11/23 United # 8874 MUC to FCO 6:55 pm Canceled Hilton Garden Inn Rome Airport. Now staying at Hilton Garden Inn, Rome Claridge. Working with Francesca's Italian Tours ( Kathy St. Vincent recommended), and we used before, and recommended 4 times to others. Going to have her have someone pick us up at the airport and take us to the hotel. 11/12/23 Hopefully line up a 1/2 day tour outside the city of Rome. suggested to her maybe something like Castelli Romani or Tivoli which both would work for 1/2 day tour. 11/13/23 Have Francesca line someone up to take us to Civitavecchia and be able to board the Splendor around noon.
Don't have a price from her yet. Hope it is not to bad.
Room for 2 in case someone would be interested in joining Jan and myself.

Am I correct that the new European Union Electronic Travel Authorization does not go into effect until 2024? Or. ETIAS as it is called. Price will be something like $7.79 US dollars per person? We also will be able to do it all on line and receive the authorization which we print and have with us in our passports?

Yesterday I finally got our pre-cruse finalized. November 2011 we used a tour guide Francesca which was recommend by Kathy St. Vincent. Did a 1/2 day tour of Rome. Second day 1/2 day Vatican tour with Tim & Penny. She was wonderful. Enough that I have recommended her 6 times to others looking at private touring of Rome. All were very happy.
So this time we wanted to go outside the city. Arrive FCO Nov. 11th 7 pm. She will have a driver take us to Hilton Garden Inn Rome Claridge, City Center area. November 12th 10 am she and her driver will pick us up for a 5 hours tour to Villa d'Este gardens and fountains in Tivoli. And lunch at SIBILLA restaurant before returning to hotel. November 13th Around 10 am driver will pick us up and take us to the ship. Sure is great when plans come together. Now have fingers crossed that it all actually happens!!

It seems that the on line check in is actually working. I just took a photo of the bar codes on the boarding passes, but they weren't even asked for and we also weren't asked for the credit card. I don't know how Rome will do the check in, but in Athens we were able to check in immediately when we arrived at 11:15 for our 12:00 time.

Hello!
It's been a while but we're on this cruise and so looking forward to it! The online check in worked great and gave us a 12:30 check in time which is perfect. Spending a couple of nights in Roma at the St Regis. We're in suite 717
See you soon! Maria and Bob
