Crystal finally at 60 days released the prices for excursions for the October 9 cruise from Athens to Dubai. The overnight stops in Suez City and Safagra are for tours of Cairo and Luxor. Both are long round trips by bus, especially Luxor which is more than 4 hours each way. The day trips are expensive ($350-$400 pp) but not really unexpected for a cruise line. The overnight trips are outrageous ($2500-$3250 pp) with no justification for bus trips. I think Crystal is taking advantage of the passengers by delaying information and cost. I was told by the Crystal employee that serviced my reservation that this information was coming June 1, July 1, soon, and it was delayed because Abercrombie and Kent had forgotten. After cancellation would cost 3/4 of the fare I was told information would be at 60 days. I will not be on another Crystal Cruise.
