Thank you both!!

Curious about some of the other ports listed... are you able to tell me if these are tendered or docked? Agios Nikolaos Crete, Rhodes, Symi, Ephesus Kusadasi, and Mykonos. Thanks so much!!

Thank you - I had a feeling it was a website issue 🙂

Thank you... I wouldn't be passing up the wonders of Greece. I'd either do a cruise or non-cruise trip. I forgot that the question should really be port-specific, I'm sorry. The prime example would be Santorini. Is it "always" a tendered port? It's the Azamara Journey, the same ship I wanted to go on pre-pandemic. Thanks again.

Prior to the pandemic we had a Greek cruise booked and several of the ports were listed as "tendered". I'm now looking at rebooking a similar cruise (probably Azamara) and all of the ports are listed as "docked". Have there been docks built or changes made in the past few years? Or are the websites not properly updated? At this time, I don't think I want to visit tendered ports. Thanks so much for any assistance!

Thank you both!

Is there any way to ride with sled dogs, on snow, without taking a helicopter? Thanks so much!

I keep seeing dining options mentioned... Just wondering, on the evenings that the ship is in port till 10 pm do most people return to the ship for dinner or find a restaurant on land? thanks

Thank you so much!

Thanks! Wound up choosing a cabin on deck 7 but more central and not by the laundry.

Yes, a Greek cruise. We were supposed to go on the Journey at the start of the pandemic. So I'm trying to figure out if Azamara is still a good choice for us since I noticed the Celestyal ship had a similar intinerary. Thanks.

Which ship to choose? Same dates, similar itinerary.

thanks very much!

Since the Onward is a refurbished ship, would the comments in the Azamara cabin thread apply to Onward? 

I'm looking at 7091 and 7093 where on the Quest someone posted that there was a humming or vibration. Would that also be true of the Onward? 

My main concern is noise. I want deck 7 for that reason - just not sure where.

Is there a way to tell where crew work areas and doors would be?

Thanks so much for any insight you can offer! 

thanks all and believe me, I will spend as little time in the cabin as possible 🙂

Does it make any difference which side of the ship to be on for most of the Greek ports? Thinking of booking an Azamara cruise... thanks

got it thanks

haha ok thanks

It's an old post, but it does say Sept 2020....

ok then... we will just be ready to go early....Are they ever ready to tender before the stated time? (We have experienced that in the Caribbean). thanks everyone :)

Ship "arrives" at 8 am. If it's likely that I would be able to be on a tender by 9am then I will not book a ship's tour. But if there is a high probability of being "stuck" on the ship past 9, I would consider a ship excursion. Would love some insight. As far as I can tell 5 ships are arriving around the same time with over 7800 passengers. Thank you for any advice!!!

Thank you, I won't book anything with a set time, just would like to be off early (I'm a very early riser). There will be many ships in port. I guess that could affect it too?

We are on the Journey which is arriving in Santorini on the 10 September 2020.  By Santorini standards it should be one of the quieter days with only MSC Opera, Celestyal Olympia and Wind Star scheduled.  Next day is much busier with Celebrity Edge, AIDAMira, Celestyal Chrystal  and the Veendam.  Still, a lot can change between now and then, especially as this seems to be the first cruise out of dry dock for the Journey and we all know what happened to the Quest!.

What happened to the Quest? And I think there are other ships in port on Sept 10. The NCL Jade maybe?

How early do you think we could get onto a tender in Santorini if we are not using a ship excursion? The Journey is in port at 8 am. Thank you!

We will be in Mykonos from 8 am to 8 pm on a Friday. Is there an easy way to get from the ship (Azamara Journey) to Principote? thank you!

Wondering if anyone has done the excursion (through Azamara) called Panoramic St Anthony's Channel Cruise or a similar excursion. If so, how was it? And how did you divide your day? Thank you!
