achman228 Posted February 5, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 5, 2016 We just booked a Mediterranean cruise on QV this summer embarking in Athens but haven’t booked the flight yet. As Cunard’s website doesn’t indicate the embarkation time, I made a phone call to inquire. What I learned is that the ship will leave Athens around midnight and we need to arrive at the airport before 8pm if we want to use their coach transfer. Due to my work schedule, we have to arrive in Athens on the same day. I’m curious to know if QV has a cut-off time for check-in in case we want to make our own arrangement from the airport to the port. Is 2:30pm arrival time in the airport reasonable? Thanks for your advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellie1145 Posted February 5, 2016 #2 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Can't see it being a problem. We arrived early for check in and were kept in a tent until 12.00 midday. People were boarding all afternoon, and into the evening - we watched them from our balcony. Hope you have a great cruise. Have you booked a car from the airport?

The transportation will be arranged after the flight is booked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SALAD MUNCHER Posted February 6, 2016 #4 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Do bear in mind that the ship docks in Pireaus not Athens and it is approx. a one hour journey to get to the airport from the docks. We did it last summer and booked a private taxi which worked well. Have a great trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
