colombiangirl Posted March 5, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 5, 2018 We booked this cruise Barcelona to Athens. The website now shows it Monte Carlo to Athens skipping Barcelona all together! What???

Rare Cruise Junky Posted March 5, 2018 #2 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Yes, the one before it was changed too, still goes to Barcelona but only as a Port stop. It's now Lisbon to Monte Carlo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulchili Posted March 5, 2018 #3 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Life happens :) I suspect that there is a good reason for them doing it. At least at this point nobody has bought non refundable airline tickets or made any plans that cannot be changed as opposed to changing it shortly before the cruise (which can happen as well for sound reasons).

Rare pinotlover Posted March 5, 2018 #4 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Competition is pushing O to release cruises farther and farther in advance. Releasing cruises that far out pretty much assures schedule changes will occur. Here is a bet: O is going to start releasing 2020 cruises mid next month. Some of those cruises, over two years away will be altered in schedule or canceled due to charters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colombiangirl Posted March 5, 2018 Author #5 Share Posted March 5, 2018 They sent me an email that said it was due to berthing conflict. Hubby was looking online and saw flight time is only 90 minutes from Barcelona to Nice. And the cost seems to average about $55. So we will be able to spend a few days after all!

arima22 Posted March 7, 2018 #6 Share Posted March 7, 2018 We were looking at this cruise for possible booking but decided against it when we researched the dates for the 3 days in Israel, October 13 - 15 is a major national holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
