Well Yea! I was so excited when I was notified of a message this morning on here!

 

I fly into Istanbul that morning and return right after...I usually like to fly the day before but it just didn't work out that way this time. I have been to Istanbul twice before and the Mediterranian ports, but not the Black Sea ports. What are your plans in Athens? I've been there twice also...seen the major sights...

 

Howard

 

Hello Howard. Sorry slow reply have been away for a few days. Great so now we are three. We will get in to Istanbul the evening before, then no worry about flight delays - lots of flights from London so not a problem -.

 

We have been to Istanbul before so know our way around. Like you the Black Sea is new to us, the reason we took the cruise. Athens and Mykonos are well explored places as we have been in Greece many times (I worked for the Greek Airline at one time).

 

As I work out our plans, will keep you posted, I am reading up on the Black Sea ports which I know little about. We both like seeing the sights in places and at lunchtime find a local restaurant for lunch to try the food and wine with the local people.

Hello ... We are on the same cruise. It was a great deal and we have wanted to visit the Blacksea.

 

We live in London and will get in to Istanbul in the evening the day before.

 

No idea on the tours in the Blacksea Ports. We know Greece and have things we want to do.

 

So far looks like 3 of us .... but who knows.

I noticed your posting a while back and meant to chime in sooner. My partner, David, and I will be on the cruise, too. This will be our 17th cruise and 3rd with Celebrity.

Anyone else on this sailing from Copenhagen to Harwich ... Carlos & Neil

I have travelled many times to Egypt and to many parts of the world under many different religious views ... that is the right of the people.

 

If Egypt now leans towards Muslim ... I do not see that as a reason to be concerned about visiting the country at this time.

 

The country now seems to be, in general, at peace and it does not concern me for my next visit planned for November.

NCL is part of Star Cruiseline, which is based in Malaysia. With it being a Muslim country, they are conservative. I wouldn't be too surprised if they aren't too keen on having a lot of gay passengers.

 

Wrong ... NCL is not a problem. FOD meetings and a lot of fun.

 

Likewide take a trip to Malaysia ... its a great place.
