Lucky TGO Posted December 11, 2016 #26 Share Posted December 11, 2016 This news just coming in....... ISTANBUL - An explosion outside an Istanbul football stadium that wounded around 20 people on Saturday 12/10/2016 was a terrorist attack, Turkish Transport Minister Ahmet Arslan said on Twitter. Updated 13 dead. I think this is a good reason why the cruise lines aren't stopping in Turkey!!! Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princess09 Posted December 11, 2016 #27 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Is your cruise a back to back? (2 7 day cruises?) It's sold as a 14 day. Originally, only Athens was visited twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted December 11, 2016 #28 Share Posted December 11, 2016 It's sold as a 14 day. Originally, only Athens was visited twice. We are looking at either a 21 day or 28 day Med cruise which make for some strange combo of ports. It seemed like they were all comprised of 7 day cruises.

Rare cruisemom42 Posted December 11, 2016 #29 Share Posted December 11, 2016 It's sold as a 14 day. Originally, only Athens was visited twice. It's sold as a 14-day cruise but it's also sold as two 7-day cruises. Hence, I'd suppose, the repeats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidari Posted December 11, 2016 #30 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Cruise lines have been right to avoid Turkey at this time, overnight two bombs went off in Istanbul following a soccer match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought both original ports would be replaced. Too bad Dubrovnik wasn't added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very excited to go to Kotor once, just would like to see something else as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkey is non-EU, Kotor (Montenegro) is non-EU, but Dubrovnik (Croatia) is EU. Also many longer Med cruises are also sold as smaller sectors, and the non-EU requirement is per sector. I imagine a lot more cruise ships will be going to Kotor. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
