FAQ
Answers to your most common questions
Q What is Celebrity's Always Included?
Always Included means drinks (classic cocktails, wine, beer, specialty coffee), Wi-Fi, and gratuities are included in your fare. No surprise charges for the basics.
Q Is the overnight in Istanbul worth it?
Absolutely! Most Mediterranean cruises only give you a few hours in Istanbul. The overnight lets you experience the city at night — illuminated mosques, rooftop dinners, and the Bosphorus lit up. It's the highlight of this itinerary.
Q Are Santorini and Mykonos tendered ports?
Yes, both require tender boats from ship to shore. This adds 20-30 minutes each way. Go early to avoid long tender queues.
Q What is an Edge Infinite Veranda?
Celebrity's signature cabin feature — a floor-to-ceiling window wall that opens to convert your cabin into a veranda. You get the balcony breeze without losing indoor space. Best of both worlds.
