I am interested in contacting anyone who is going on this 14 day Venice-Lisbon cruise on the Insignia (Oceania) Nov. 11, 2006muller@golden.net. We could swap e-mail addresses and compare shore excursion research. This is my first posting so I'm not sure of the mechanics but I'll work it out.

My husband and I are going on 11-11-06 cruise. It is very port intensive and I have been trying to decide what to do also, about shore excursions. Not sure where we'll dock or anchor at most ports. Venice has 2 locations and also not sure if going to Monaco or Villefranche. If Monaco, we could get public transportation and do it on our own. Also found out Monaco's National Holiday will be Sun. Nov 19 when we are there. Can't find any schedule of activities though. Also, no shore excursion listed for Lisbon at end except "private tour." We will be there overnight, so need options. Any info you get or would share would be great and we would do the same. With 11 ports, there needs to be some advance planning.I am assuming that is your email address. Let me know.

This is to Pineapple:
I'm not sure about the mechanics of this. Better we communicate using e-mail. I have heard from 2 other kindred spirits via e-mail. Drop me a note and we can go from there.
