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.

Usually there is one.

Although it was briefly above a $ 100 per share recently, it has been below $10 in the last 8 years. Be careful.

Is it available on all Celebrity ships and is much of an improvement?

Yes but the staff told me that with the motion they are not accurate and to only use them in port

Very good advice

Yes as of November 19.

I was just on the Constellation for 27 days. The internet is so slow it is barely usable.

I had a prearranged ride on one of the van services and was lucky enough to walk out of terminal, the van was full and we headed for FLL. I read on cruise critic that some of the passengers took up to four hours to go through immigration.

Disembarked Reflection last Saturday. Most walked off from mid- ship deck 5. A few were able to disembark through the aft doors on deck 5. We were supposed to start at 7 am but delayed until 7:35 am. People had begun lining up about 6am. It was a mess by the time we began getting off but not nearly the mess that came later. I was in line at 6 am and outside the terminal at 7:45 am. At Fll about 8:30 am. Good luck.

Just disembarked Reflection and the gym equipment was available on embarkation day

Does the Oasis usually have almond milk?

Although the Barcelona cruise terminal is adequate for most ships, I think the disembarkation of the Oasis following it's Atlantic crossing is going to be a nightmare. I hope someone can show me that I 'm wrong.

That depends. Our Oct TA has been sold out for over a month and even after final I doubt they will come down close to anywhere near what we pd 18 months ago

Don't bet on it.

The truly good fares on TA's come much closer to sailing time.
