Business Air on legs 2/4 more expensive and poorer choice from and to U.K. I fear an unfortunate but easy decision Cancellation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Tillie Posted June 22 #33 Share Posted June 22 Just an FYI to anyone "confused", the Crystal website still has some of the cancelled cruises listed. All the replacements are listed too. I'm sure it will be corrected, eventually!! All the cancelled cruises will have all cabin categories as waitlisted. Patty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's impossible for them to please everyone. With cruising these days, it's probably a case of booking later than earlier, as opposed to the old days.

Patty Patty your observations are I fear correct Unfortunately some of us of mature years are still working and have to book holidays well in advance as a requirement of employment thus enabling us to cruise Crystal. I will wait till all the changes are made for early 2025. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patty They changed our Athens to Athens cruise, 11/24-12/6 to a very undesirable Athens to Barcelona cruise 11/24-12/1 - think we are going to cancel and move on. The interesting part is that Crystal's website still has the Lisbon to Athens cruise, 10/7-12/6 which includes our canceled cruise itinerary. Beginning to wonder if Crystal knows whats up or down!

Rare goldengatecruisers Posted June 22 #39 Share Posted June 22 I do wonder why the replacement cruises could not match, or closely match, the 'days' of the original segments. For people who have to book vacation days with employers etc. it makes it almost impossible for them to book the revised itineraries. I can't imagine segments such as Tema to Capetown being heavily booked as the cost of flying to these destinations is rather expensive and the itinerary itself is uninspiring. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those who were cancelled out of Athens to Mumbai, Ghana to South Africa at the announced price point is close to being an outright insult. Could have done more stops in Namibia - nope, just more overnights at the endpoint in CPT. Which you could easily do at many a hotel in town. IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I much prefer the new routed cruises, as they have more sea days and don't repeat places like the Athens - Mumbai voyage did. That one also had way too many overnights (3) in Dubai - well, same as Cape Town I guess. Different strokes...... I'm booked on the first 3 legs Barcelona to Ghana to Cape Town to Seychelles.
