2024 World Cruise Details

[CruisePfan]

Just received from my TA:

 

Thank you for being a trusted travel advisor and booking your clients on an upcoming 2024 West Coast or Panama Canal voyage along with our highly anticipated World Cruise. As Crystal continues to improve its environmental footprint and help reduce emissions, we are happy to report that Crystal Serenity is being fit with equipment that will enable the vessel to connect to shore power systems while docked. We are working diligently to have this ready for our first call in southern California.

However, due to the tight timeline, we have made a conservative decision to move embarkation (as well as debarkation) to San Diego rather than Los Angeles as previously planned. We wanted to inform you of this change as soon as a decision was taken to allow plenty of time to help your clients book their flights.

The cruises that are affected by the change currently include:

• Jan 18: Panama Canal - Miami to LA (now San Diego arrival)
• Feb 3: World Cruise - LA to Papeete (now San Diego departure)
• June 8: Panama Canal - Miami to LA (now San Diego arrival)
• June 24: West Coast - LA to Vancouver (now San Diego departure)

 

Any recommendations for good hotel near the San Diego port?

We have been very happy with the Intercontinental, which is just across the street from the port.

This is great news for those of us who live in San Diego.

Well this s….s.   as an LA area person who was looking forward to just getting a ride to the port about 45 min away! Guess I would or will take the Train to San Diego on departure day

Grand Hyatt which is a moderate walk away.

Wyndham practically across the street from the pier. They even run a free shuttle to get you across the road. Pretty basic hotel, not fancy, but very convenient.

No but your TA can get the info from Crystal. It should be on the website but it isn't. 🙄

The top of the window has the bottom of the lifeboats hanging from deck 8.   No real biggie to speak of.

Isn't that a picture from Symphony?  The WC is on Serenity.

On Deck7 on Serenity it refers to rooms that look out to gangway where it is stored. Similarly there are rooms on deck 8 which have a partial obstruction when the look out/down to this.
