Well they changed the itinerary and took away any extra time in Istanbul.

I had spoken with Celebrity last week and was told that the itinerary had not changed and that we would be arriving in Istanbul on the 13th of November at 2 p.m. and leaving on the 14th at 11 p.m, giving us an overnight.

 

I checked today and the 13th is now a SEA DAY. We get into Istanbul at 7 a.m. and leave at 11 p.m.

 

I know Celebrity can change itinerary's, and yes they are still going to have some time in Istanbul.

 

Just making folks aware of the change

Celebrity announced some months ago they were cancelling most Istanbul port stops and ALL overnights due to both port construction and security concerns.

We and others on the cruise got the email from Celebrity RE the change and it was posted in the Roll Call as well. May be worth watching the roll call to get notification of these changes if you're not directly.

 

Happy sailing,

Jenna
