Bra_BE2014 Posted June 21, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Hello, currently onboard 10 day cruise that departed on 20/6 from Rome. When checking the app I saw Corfu became a second sea day. There were no announcements and most of the passengers seems unaware. Shore excursion desk claims not knowing what happened. Anybody knows by any chance? Was it the same in the previous cruises? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallux Posted June 21, 2022 #2 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Have you asked the cruise director or the people at guest services? Those on board the ship are more likely to know than a random group of people on the internet. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fowler9 Posted June 21, 2022 #4 Share Posted June 21, 2022 We're on the 3rd August sailing out of Rome and got an email last week to say Corfu had been dropped and replaced with a sea day. Also longer stops in Valetta and Mykonos. Looking at the NCL website, it's been dropped from every NCL Escape cruise this summer and replaced with a sea day. No idea why though?? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globaliser Posted June 21, 2022 #5 Share Posted June 21, 2022 The long dog-leg to get to Corfu got me doing some rough calculations. On the original schedule, I think that Mykonos-Corfu and Corfu-Valetta would both require an average of about 19 knots. Without adjusting the Mykonos departure and Valetta arrival times, Mykonos-Valetta would only require about 12 knots. I don't think that any of the other sectors of the cruise would require an average speed of as much as 19 knots. Even the long haul from Rome to Santorini looks like it's only about 17.5 knots. But this is all very approximate back-of-the-envelope stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WexIrl Posted June 21, 2022 #6 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Hi, I was on the 10th June to 20th June Escape sailing, and I can confirm that we did stop at Corfu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm willing to bet more than a few CCers looked at your topic heading and wondered "what in God's name is this post all about?" Until they take the time to find out where you are from. And those that don't take the time are probably still trying to figure it out!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are on the Escape leaving Rome on July 10 and Corfu is still on our itinerary. We had a couple other small itinerary changes but not that.

I wonder if it is the distance to or from Corfu from the ports on either side of the stop there that is affecting the ability to port there? It is the only thing I can think of!
