Rare Tak8 Posted April 7, 2021 #2 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Good to hear. I think the more that cruises return and without major outbreaks, the greater the chance we will see sailing from the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaccinated tourism is the future of International travel, it seems Greece is ahead of the curve by excepting it early on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you provide a link? My October cruise still shows as 11 days. I found one port schedule that showed it there on Oct 16 but no other date in October.

ChangeOrder Posted April 8, 2021 #11 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I’m not sad to have my Rome July cruise changed to Athens - curious what the new itineraries will be. Are there any cruise lines allowing back to back or longer than 7day cruises? I’m wondering if I can still get 14 days sailing this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't much like the itinerary but just wanted to have a holiday. If it's true and we sail from Athens around the Greek islands then that is a right result. Really hope it happens and can still be for 14 nights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicgotgame Posted April 8, 2021 #14 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Nothing changed on Princess website regarding the move from Italy to Greece Ports for the Enchanted Princess. I have three cruises booked that would be impacted. Any thoughts what would happen if an 11 day cruise was reduced to 7 days? Would one be able to cancel and get their deposit back?

maggie777 Posted April 8, 2021 #16 Share Posted April 8, 2021 We are booked on a 22 day, round trip Barcelona, Oct 24, 2021. Does anyone know if this cruise will be affected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susancruzs Posted April 8, 2021 #17 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I'm on Enchanted TA Nov. 15th, Barcelona to Ft. L, plus prior 11 day Nov. 4th, Rome to Barcelona with a stop in Athens, Nov. 9th. If this is the case (7 days), Princess hasn't adjusted anything . . . yet. I'm wondering if the port in Athens has this information correct, not seeing it anywhere else.

ChangeOrder Posted April 8, 2021 #18 Share Posted April 8, 2021 In the past it has taken several days for the Princess web site to update after we all knew what was happening; the Discovery cancellations being my personal experience. If this Athens thing is legit, then it tracks that the website wouldn’t be updated yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greece is allowing travelers in now from pretty much everywhere. I don’t expect the cruise would be any different. What IS likely is that the available ports the ship can go to will be changed or limited. If they dropped Rome, then possibly these cruises can’t go to Italian ports at all? Could this mean that I get Istanbul back in a cruise itinerary?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavArch64 Posted April 8, 2021 #20 Share Posted April 8, 2021 We are booked on the Sept 18 7 d RT from Civitavecchia. The Piraeus port authority website shows Enchanted Princess with an embarkation on Sept.19. I called the Princess 1-800 number and the agent had no info. Clearly the Rome departures are probably no go if the Athens switch is legit. How long do you think it will take before Princess notifies us?

Esprit Posted April 8, 2021 #22 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I’ve just looked at the Civitavecchia port schedule for July and Enchanted Princess appears only once on 17 July. Clearly there are changes afoot which I doubt Princess will formalise for another month. Our final payment due date is 11 May. The first cruise originally scheduled from Civitavecchia was 3rd July making final payment due on 4th May. Regardless of when an announcement is made I will pay the balance when due and hope the Athens change happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as long as you do not expect your Civitavecchia booking, if cancelled by Princess, would be automatically transferred to one from Athens. What would likely happen is that you would be given a choice of a refund or FCCs and then have to make a new booking for an Athens cruise at whatever price is offered for it.
