Bruin Steve Posted April 9, 2021 #1 Share Posted April 9, 2021 (edited) So, we were able to change our Apex sailing to one of the new ones several days ago now... And I immediately went to "Upcoming Cruises" on the website after logging in... ...and was very happy to see that it now showed the new cruise date and title ("7 Night Greek Islands & Israel Cruise")... But, I never read the whole thing until now... Here is what it actually says: Celebrity Apex Jul 31 — Aug 7, 2021 113Days to go 7 Night Greek Islands & Israel Cruise ROME (CIVITAVECCHIA), ITALY NAPLES, ITALY FLORENCE/PISA(LASPEZIA)ITALY CANNES, FRANCE MONTE CARLO, MONACO PALMA DE MALLORCA, SPAIN BARCELONA, SPAIN Oh, yeah...and the background photo is of this: I am pretty danged sure that is the Forum...in ROME! That's right...The Celebrity website thinks their Greece and Israel cruises are going from Rome to Barcelona via Naples, La Spezia, Cannes, Monte Carlo and Mallorca!!! I sure hope the Captain doesn't think this as well! 😁 Edited April 9, 2021 by Bruin Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Click Posted April 9, 2021 #4 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Iceberg, Goldberg, it is all the same....... I actually got a very interesting email ad from our big online TA today with a reasonable price, lots of "perks" and an extra 10% of OBC. It looked appealing until I stopped and thought about the risks of going to Europe this summer, the risks of being in the confined atmosphere of a cruise ship so we are sticking with our plan to travel "locally" in the US Southwest for now. Maybe 2022 but not now. BruinSteve, I hope it all works out for you, it sounds like a lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaBag Posted April 9, 2021 #5 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Thanks for the laugh, people. I guess Geography is not a prerequisite for website descriptions? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We attended an interesting lecture onboard one Europe cruise where a Celebrity officer explained the way they plan and execute the cruises. The officer seemed much more on top of things than the IT department. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted April 10, 2021 #7 Share Posted April 10, 2021 But it’s an “award-winning website” or so they claim. Unfortunately, it was a participation award. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
