The ports are ok but I don’t know how excited I am to fly all that way to board the Legend. If you don’t compare against what MSC (for example) is offering (hardware, itineraries, and price), I think you’re doing yourself a disservice. I have an FCC I have to spend by August, but for future years I am looking at MSC and Celebrity. Seriously considering Celebrity for a cruise to Egypt in 2025.

Such less variety in ports and cruises considering they have only one ship in the area. They haven’t been sailing in Europe for the past 10 years. They re-started (after not doing Europe cruises at all) in 2018 and then obviously had none for 2020 and 2021. I can’t remember when they stopped sailing there prior to 2018, but it had been awhile. Point is, we haven’t had Europe itineraries from CCL for the past 10 years. Personally, I’m thrilled. We are doing the Norwegian Fjords this year, and I just booked the UK/Wales/Ireland/Scotland itinerary for the exact same week next year. It will be three new countries to add to our list of “have been.” Edited March 4, 2023 by Cruising_Addict Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That must have been the year they restarted, but my point remains. They have not been doing Europe cruises every year for the past 10 years.

Actually, the more I think about it, I think we are talking about two different things. I’m not talking about when Carnival has a brand new ship and they do a handful of cruises in Europe before sailing the ship to the Caribbean. I’m talking about when they send a ship there and are actively doing European itineraries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seannyice81 Posted March 5, 2023 #30 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Would like to see them return to Monte Carlo, but understand there isn't much to do (within reason) there. Overall just happy they're doing Europe. Will be sailing Portugal and Spain with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing price. Any one able to enlighten me on how B2B works on change over day? thanks in advance. haven’t done mine yet,(sept for us) but from what I’ve been reading it’s usually one of 2 ways- 1- all people doing the b2b go to the same area on the ship and the customs people come onto the ship and clear you. or 2- all b2bers are escorted off the ship as a group, cleared by customs and then escorted right back on to the ship. if you are keeping the same cabin, you just leave your stuff as it is. (Much easier to try to have the same cabin) if you have to change cabins then you have to pack all your luggage and your steward will move the bags to your new room.

Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted April 23, 2023 #35 Share Posted April 23, 2023 I did the Rome to Santorini, Mykonos, Turkey, Athens, Pompeii, Sicily, etc. last September. Best cruise for ports in my experience and I would do it again in another year - oh, that's 2024 isn't it! I did excursions to Acropolis, Taormina and Etna, Pompeii and Olympia and highly recommend them all. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
