Istanbul will be our last port of call (overnight stay) on Celebrity Constellation cruise (September 2014). We are going to book early 7:40 AM flight on the last day of cruise (second day in Istanbul). Have several questions:

1. Do you see any problems to leave the ship at 4:15 AM? We will carry our entire luggage by ourselves

2. Can we go by immigration and custom service so early (4:30AM)? I know Istanbul port operates 24hrs/7days. How about the immigration and custom?

3. Where Celebrity Ships are usually docking at port? I have learned it can be Yolcu Salonu or Salipazari.

4. We are going to booked private transfer. Where they pick up the passengers? Is it outside terminal or outside port gate?

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

 

It will be our first stop at this port.

Please go back to the "Message Board Forums" page of Cruise Critic and ask your question in the Ports of Call Forum, under the section "Istanbul".

 

Also, in the subject line put something like: Ship to Airport at 4:15 am?

 

An overnight in Istanbul sounds wonderful, have a great cruise.
