2 ports dumped on Millennium Nov. 18

[gbpet]

I am booked Nov. 18 out of Barcelona on Celebrity Millennium and just noticed that the ports of Marseille and Civitacvecchia (Rome) are dumped from the itinerary. The ship is leaving Barcelona two nights later. How can they adjust the ports with no copensation or explanation. Instead of 5 ports enroute we are down to 3.

Have they also shortened the days of the cruise? When I read your messge it sounds like they are leaving two days later. What is up?

Hello gbpet~~

You've got my curiosity up big time! You say you "just noticed"....just noticed where? In the cruise documents/tickets? The date has been changed to November 20th?

What does your travel agent have to say about this? This seems very strange; many websites, including Celebrity's own site still has the departure listed as November 18th....

I'm looking forward to hearing more of this story. It sounds like you now need two nights hotel in Barcelona?

Very strange.

Hi gbpet,

I checked the Celebrity website. There was no announcement. The last weeks they had an update for Barcelona because of a strike in the harbor.
I would recommend, that you contact your travel agent or Celebrity.

Its really a strange story.

Boy, what's happening at Celebrity these days? They have been making itinerary changes every couple of weeks recently.

[gbpet]

The itinerary on the Celebrity website has the ship docked in Barcelona November 18, 19 and departing 8 PM November 20. I have not been notified and my travel agent in out until tomorrow. I will call Celebrity this morning to verify the change.

[gbpet]

The ship will be docked in Barcelona November 18 and 19 and the departure is 8 PM November 20. I assume passengers will be welcome onboard on the 18th. I plan to call Celebrity when they open this morning. My travel agent is out until Nov. 8

I called my TA and they are still not informed why the Millenium is docked for 3 days in Barcelona and cancelled 2 ports of call.

I thought, that this happens only in the caribbean at the moment due to the hurricane season. But whats going on here?

I can´t wait to hear their explanation.

I do recall reading that Marseille has been dropped because of an ongoing strike there. I suspect that this is the reason? No idea whyRome would be dropped, but I can't wait to hear.

I just got off the phone with Celebrity. My understanding is that we will NOT be able to get on the Millenium until the day of sailing which is the 20th. I am also of the understanding that at this time there is no compensation being made available to us.
