Cruise Day 12 - June 14 - Venice

Last morning on board started early to prepare for our transfer to Venice. There were no direct options left so we were taking a bus from Ravenna to Bologna and then a train into Venice.

A gondola with people seated is moving through a narrow canal flanked by historic buildings with balconies and windows in Venice with a stone bridge in the background. The buildings are decorated with flowers and lamps along the canal.

Cruise Day 11 - June 13 - Sea Day 2

Our last day of the cruise is a sea day on our way to Ravenna.

Today started the same as yesterday with a lot of rain that cleared quickly while we were at breakfast, which was again a full house.

The morning activity was a lecture in the theatre, Beyond the Podium: Venice: The Floating City by John W. Bailly giving some history and insights into the creation of Venice. Following the lecture we started re-packing our suitcases for the journey home.

Taking a break we had a quick lunch and then went to the Celebrity Activities Team: Murder Mystery - a musical trivia, not even close to the top score, and a little shopping before returning to our room to finish the packing. We wanted to get our luggage out before heading to dinner to be collected for an easier disembarkation. Packing the souvenirs we purchased was proving difficult as our bags were pretty full when we got here and we still had Venice to visit.

One last visit to the main dining room for another excellent meal followed by the last show in the Celebrity Theatre and a walk around the ship.

Cruise Day 8 - June 10 - Dubrovnik

We were off the ship around 9 am and on a shuttle bus heading into Dubrovnik to explore the old city and to walk the wall. Approximately 2 km from start to finish and just over a thousand stairs with little to no shade in the 26°C heat. A great way to spend a Monday morning!
