We'll be on SS Endeavour Antarctica this Nov.22.24.

We will book our int'l flight to/from Santiago and we are trying to find info about when is a good day/time for our return.

Disembarkation day (on Dec.02), from what we have read, it seems that you disembark late afternoon, then you take that same afternoon/night a charter flight to Punta Arenas?

Then I guess we must secure hotel accommodation that night in Punta Arenas?

Next, the following day (on Dec.03) Silversea puts you on a charter flight to Santiago in the afternoon?

Is that the standard itinerary whether permitting?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

663 and 668 are not Classic Veranda Suites, those are Superior ones.

The Classic ones are the 500s, and 600-603.

Has anyone stayed on these?

Make sure when you complete your application all information is correct the first time, if not, they will send you an email saying they cannot make any changes.  We went through Vietnam govt. website to complete ours because Celebrity told us they no longer do it for you on board. We leave in a couple of days on Solstice.  There are several websites you can go on for the evisa's but they charge almost 100.00 to do them because they are third party.  When you go through the Vietnam govt. site, it was only 25.00 each and it is for a single entry. 

We listed Ho Chi Minh cruise port as our port of entry because Phu My was not listed in drop down. Two weeks after we completed our application, Celebrity sends us an email informing all passengers to complete their evisa's and to list the port of entry as Vung Tau.  I don't know if we will be denied because we did not get this information in time. I would hope that since our itinerary shows Ho Chi Minh as our first port they will accept it.  

When we sent an email to the support department for the evisa with Vietnam govt. they said it could not be changed.  Our evisa's were accepted by their govt. and we have a copy so time will tell I guess. 

 

In the end, what happened? Were you able to board?

I'm in the same situation. We'll be on Solstice Feb.19.24, we submitted our eVisa for Vietnam and we chose Ho Chi Minh as a seaport. We haven't got any notification from Celebrity about the ports.

So, in case the sea ports selected are different vs. the actual ones, will you be denied boarding?
