Celebrity Port vs Tender Ports

[22CeeBeeNC22]

Traveling in May on eastern Mediterranean night cruise traveling from Ravenna to Athens with stops in Croatia, Turkey, Greek Isles. Is there a way to determine which ports we will tender in from vs dock? I’m assuming most will involve a tender.

You can see it by clicking on "View ports and map" on the Celebrity website. Santorini and Mykonos are usually tender, but I had lucky on Royal Caribbean and we docked in Mykonos.

Santorini is always tendered (and a good idea to plan your day ahead of time).  Mykonos is a maybe.  The others should most likely be docked.

Your cruise planner will show tender ports.

Santorini has a dock and sometimes it is used to drop people off to start shore excursions.

Should be on your invoice too.

 

We once took 3 hours getting off in Split and when I complained, I was told we should have taken a ship’s tour, as they are given priority.

 

Before COVID, Elite and above were given priority as well, but I’ve no idea if that is still the case.

Oh my! This is good information to have. Thank you.
