Ann DiTullio Posted July 18, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 18, 2023 After years of loyalty to Celebrity (and Royal Caribbean) they have drastically cut their transatlantic sailings from Rome to Florida. They leave form Spain and that would be an extra cost for Italy. The thing that burns me most is that I sent an email inquiry two months ago and have recieved no response from them. I guess I will be going from Elite Plus to another cruise line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alakegirl Posted July 18, 2023 #2 Share Posted July 18, 2023 They are very bad at answering email, but you probably knew that already. What were you asking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RD64 Posted July 19, 2023 #5 Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) There are several transats from Rome (and Barcelona, and Lisbon, and Northern ports) with various cruise lines. If Civitavecchia is your determining factor, why are you limiting your options to Celebrity? I just saw your name and assume that you are from Italy - Ma Signora - it is not that difficult to get from anywhere in Italy to Barcelona.

ALL the transats are clearly listed on the websites---not sure what additional help an email response would be. I see 2 X and 2 RCCL available from Rome---4 of the 11 transats. 5 from BCN, 2 from Southampton. Considering most these ships had basically been homeporting from these regions all summer, what would you propose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ann DiTullio Posted July 19, 2023 Author #10 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Sorry to correct you, but there is only one sailing from Rome to Florida. In years past there have been 3 or 4. The sailing is 13 days which is short for a transatlantic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beyond has a 14 day Crossing ending in Fort Lauderdale and the constellation has a 16 day Crossing ending in Tampa. Where do you see a 13 day Crossing? Which ship?

Rare cruisestitch Posted July 19, 2023 #16 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Ah, now I understand. For 2024 you would have to pick a different cruise line to do a transatlantic leaving from Rome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikerunner Posted July 19, 2023 #18 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Its what happens when they decided to move the Beyond to be in the Caribbean next summer. They took one ship out of the European sailings. In truth they will not make everyone happy with only 13 ships, not counting the Galapagos ones.

padgman1 Posted July 19, 2023 #23 Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) Also disappointed in this as I have always wanted to take a westbound TA from Rome on either Celebrity or Royal Caribbean. The only ship in either fleet taking a TA from Rome in the fall of 2024 is Odyssey of the Seas leaving Nov 2024 to Cape Liberty NJ... Fortunately, will not have time in the fall of 2024 to take such a cruise....2025-6, maybe a TA from Rome on Celebrity or Royal will appear...

Ex-Airbalancer Posted July 19, 2023 #24 Share Posted July 19, 2023 In 2014 , they do not have one leaving from Southampton , so should even one be email the prez also These decisions would have been years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
