  2. hi ,cant seem to find out if celebrity do transfers from ciampino airport to the ship at civitavecchia if so how do i book and what is the cost ? or will it be just as easy for me to arrange a taxi to get me there 2 passengers plus luggage july 22

  3. is there any provision made for passengers with late flights ? im aware that staterooms need to be abandoned but im sure i saw somewhere that food drink and use of the pool is still available on some cruises at a cost of course , we have a 18.40 flight from barcelona so dont really need to be at the airport till 16.00 if not anyone got any other ideas ?

  4. why oh why have celebrity RCI and the other companys ignored harwich as a departure port 2016 even southampton is getting less visits do these companies not think people will go elsewhere to other cruiselines ? what about us folk who have had enough of airports and luggage allowances etc etc one reason we took to cruising was the joy of arriving by land with every outfit the wife owns ! and shoes to match lol please please more uk departures and more varied itineries !

  5. i have already given our transfer timings etc from the wonderful kadikoy/moda area on the asian side to ataturk airport ,here are my bro n sis inlaws timings as they had a later pick up .their pick up from the hotel was 8.30 am for a 12.30 flight ,as this was right in the rush hour the taxi driver took them over from kadikoy to the other side on the car ferry to avoid traffic around the bridge and then on to the airport whole transfer time was 90 mins getting them to the airport at 10.am

  6. hi folks peters advice is spot on ! i was on the same cruise as him ,istanbul is now rivalling hong kong as my favorite city ! i loved it .we stayed on the asian side in kadikoy at the doubletree by hilton moda (great hotel ) we were 5 mins walk from the ferry port to the old town and many other places ,the nostalgic tram ran right outside our hotel lobby ,kadikoy is a wonderful friendly area full of markets bars and retaurants which becomes a people watchers heaven at night ,sitting with friends sipping a cold efes and sharing a table full of meze litening to the sound of chatter and music mixed is bliss! folk are so friendly and i didnt fint them as eager to get you in their establishment as on the old town side, prices were also certainly cheaper in kadikoy/moda area beer food and clothing especialy WHEN we go back next year for at least 5 days we will stay in the same area no question ,moda next door to kadikoy is a more upmarket area and the shops and restaurants reflect that but funnily not the prices ! they are still cheap.i will be recomending a few restaurants on TA.we also visited the fenerbache football stadium which is very impressive and theres a street nearby which has nothing but wedding shops for those fool enuff to try getting married haha airport and port transfers we used istanbulairporttaxis.com booked by email and they gave us sugested pick up times they were more than helpful and efficient too, port to hotel took 45 mins in rush hour 60 euros for 4 passengers and luggage, transfer to airport for a 8.30 am flight was pick up 5 am took less than 45 mins and was 50 euros for 2 passengers ,bro n sis in law had later flight so were picked up 8.30 am everything went well .:)

  7. just a few words to thank you for all the info im finding so useful .we are flying into venice MP june next year and going straight onboard NCL jade for 7 days but on our return we have a booking for 2 nights canal room locanda orseolo before flying home again from venice MP a/is our hotel choice ok b/ what are our best options for transport to and from airport and from cruise port to hotel ?,any bar restaurant recomendations :)

  8. we are on constellation docking in istanbul 18th of this month us and many other passengers have asked celebrity for an update they said the situation is constantly being reviewed but at present there is no itinery change planned ,us like a large number of passengers have a few days in istanbul booked also to enjoy the wonderful city!i see no greater risk than on the streets of any other town or city on this planet of ours
