Which Ships are in Athens in Oct

[Mrs Miggins]

Could somebody please be kind enough to remind me how to find out how many other ships are in port during our cruise. I am particularly interested in Athens on 26th Oct 2010. I know this info is available but cannot remember the link.

Thank you

Here are a few sites to look at:

Many thanks - the second link worked splendidly and had all the ports I was interested in.

Another excellent site to check out ports and which ships are in at the same time is: cruisett.com

A couple of things about Athens and those sites that try to tell you how many ships might be in a port.

 

Pireaus is a huge port and very few of the ships that are there appear on those sites. Most of them are ferries, but they all effect traffic in the port.

 

Athens itself is a huge city that is always full of tourists whether or not ships are in port, so it doesn't really matter how many ships are there. It is almost like wondering about how many ships are visiting New York on a given day.

 

As to the sites you are using, they are good for most of the lines that cruise out of the US but there are dozens of lines that never appear on those sites. As an example I checked Santorini on a day we were supposed to be there in June. It showed one ship (ours was not on the one). When we got there we found 10 other ships in port that day.
