Cruzin Terri Posted July 5, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I posted this on our roll call and thought it might be wise to post it here as well. Just received an email from my travel agent. The ports of Santorini and Mykonos have been swapped. This is really good. We are now the only ship in port in Santorini. The original day had six ships in port.In Mykonos, there is only one other ship in port rather than three on our original day. So our new schedule is: Santorini --July 23--8 am to 6 pm--No other ships in port. (tender)Mykonos-- July 25--8 am to 6 pm--(tender) One other ship in port-- Costa Luminosa (2800 passengers) I assume they will be docking. Hope this helps everyone, especially those with private tours arranged in these ports.Terri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruzin Terri Posted July 7, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I know you’ve left HAL and hope you enjoy O as much as we did. This will be our third O cruise. The last two have been great and we really do not think we will return to HAL unless things change drastically. Thanks for your good wishes.

donkaufman Posted July 9, 2018 #11 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Terri, I received the same from our T/A on the schedule change. My question on the updated information for Mykonos was regarding the number of ships in port. Is there another source besides Cruise.tt where you saw that only one other ship was to be there. Again what I see is 5 other ships totaling 10,382 passengers plus Oceania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I can see the Costa Luminosa is the only other ship in port with us. Terri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruzin Terri Posted July 9, 2018 Author #21 Share Posted July 9, 2018 We are still in better shape than we would have been had Oceania stuck to the original itinerary. So what is all the fuss about? As LHT28 says “Go with the flow” and enjoy the day in port and be happy that in both Santorini and Mykonos there will be fewer people. :) Terri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donkaufman Posted July 9, 2018 #22 Share Posted July 9, 2018 So what is all the fuss about?Terri Snarky much...….was just trying to obtain the correct information, as 11,600 people in Mykonos would have changed our plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzin Terri Posted July 9, 2018 Author #23 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Snarky much...….was just trying to obtain the correct information, as 11,600 people in Mykonos would have changed our plans. I wasn’t trying to be snarky and sorry if you took it that way. I was just trying to point out that we are in a better position now than we were. I thought I was trying to help and sometimes it is better to keep quiet. No good deed goes unpunished. Terri:loudcry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillsprint Posted July 9, 2018 #24 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Folks I went to "The Horse's Mouth", i.e. looked at the Costa and MSC sites. MSC Sinfonia - Is in on 24th at 20.00 and leaves at 03.00 on 25th Costa Luminosa - Is there all day on 25th Costa neoRiviera - Is there on 24th & 25th Costa neoClassica - Is no longer part of their fleet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it is more than one other ship than the Riviera. The Costa Luminosa holds 2838 passengers The MSC neoRiviera holds 1248 passengers The Oceania Riviera holds 1300 passengers. So if all ships are filled to the max we are looking at 5386 passengers. That is better than double that number. I, for one, can live with that number. It won’t ruin my day in Mykonos. Even better is being the only ship in port in Santorini. Terri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
