Throughout Europe, please be aware that ongoing restoration work is being carried out in many of the towns, cities and venues visited which is
beyond the control of Royal Caribbean International.
Due to the high volume of visitors and to help preserve the historic towns and centers, many cities have strict parking regulations. This may
involve extensive walking from the bus parking lot to the various venues and sights visited. During the peak summer months you may encounter
large crowds in each city or venue. Due to this reason, local guides may decide to alter the tour itinerary and the order in which it is
accomplished. It may not be possible to visit all sites listed and there may be long lines (queues) to enter the popular venues. This is beyond the
control of the local tour operator or Royal Caribbean International.
Guides will no longer be allowed to provide group commentary inside St. Peter's Basilica without the use of electronic units due to mandated

Throughout Europe, please be aware that ongoing restoration work is being carried out in many of the towns, cities and venues visited which is
beyond the control of Royal Caribbean International.
Due to the high volume of visitors and to help preserve the historic towns and centers, many cities have strict parking regulations. This may
involve extensive walking from the bus parking lot to the various venues and sights visited. During the peak summer months you may encounter
large crowds in each city or venue. Due to this reason, local guides may decide to alter the tour itinerary and the order in which it is
accomplished. It may not be possible to visit all sites listed and there may be long lines (queues) to enter the popular venues. This is beyond the
control of the local tour operator or Royal Caribbean International.
Guides will no longer be allowed to provide group commentary inside St. Peter's Basilica without the use of electronic units due to mandated
regulations. Therefore, the guide(s) will give an explanation or description while outside the venue and guests will enter the Basilica individually
for a designated amount of time.
Please be aware that at certain times there may be a mass taking place in St. Peter’
s Basilica, without previous notice. In the majority of cases,
the guide(s) will give an explanation or description from the outside and guests will be allowed to enter the Basilica individually. Depending upon
the number of people in the Basilica, it may be closed for security reasons. These safety precautions are beyond the control of the local tour
operator or Royal Caribbean International.
During the months of October through June, most major shops are closed on holidays, Sunday and Monday mornings and daily from 1:00 pm
until 4:00 pm. During the months of July through September, major shops are closed on holidays, Saturday and Sunday afternoons, and daily
