2 Days at same port as Disembarkation

[5onadime]

So we will arrive in Piraeus (Athens) on Feb 10th. The cruise is officially over on the 11th.  How early could we get off on the 11th?  Or could we leave late on the 10th?  Wanting to take a very early flight.

Thanks

We did that ( left in the evening before an overnight) but that was pre-Covid. Even then, we had to clear it through Celebrity pre-cruise and follow up with guest services on board. Definitely should check with Celebrity.

Do you have any idea what department you talked to at Celebrity.  I called the general number and the young lady was extremely confused and did not understand my question.

I spoke with Captain's club rep but again this was pre- Covid so there has been lots of turnover in staffing since then... Perhaps ask for a supervisor if the initial rep doesnt know the answer or understand the issue

I've left on the first night a couple times.   I made arrangements with the Retreat Host.   They worked with the Documentation Officer to assure customs would be available for the time I wanted to depart.

You certainly can leave early.  I've done it, but you would do it as a walk off and you would need to contact Celebrity.

you don't need to contact celebrity in advance.  I have done this a couple times (Hong Kong and Singapore).  Just talk to Guest Relations as some point during the cruise (preferably at least a couple days before you want to depart.)  They will have you sign a form that says you will not get any money refunded because you voluntarily left early.  Very simple. As mentioned above, you will need to carry your own luggage off.  You can (should) get some help from your butler/attendant.
