just4kixx Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 When I looked at the Harmony sailings for August, 2016... there are 8 sailings listed. 4 out of Spain, and 4 out of Italy. All are 7 night sailings. How can that be? Just curious, more than anything. Annette~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Well based upon your information that is 56 days of sailing in a month that has 31 days, even if you took of 8 days for same start and stopped date it is still 46 days. While I'm sure Mr Fan would love to get 46 days of sailing into a month it is not possible. So only one answer here a mistake within the system.

DocLC Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Best guess is that you can either embark in Italy or Spain and then disembark at the other. Many of the ships do this in the Med. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Best guess is that you can either embark in Italy or Spain and then disembark at the other. Many of the ships do this in the Med. It would still be only four or four and a half 7 day cruises within the month. Look at this: Cruise #1 August 1 Spain end August 7 Italy Cruise #2 August 7 Italy end August 14 Spain Cruise #3 August 14 Spain end August 21 Italy Cruise #4 August 21 Italy end Spain August 28 Cruise #5 August 28 Spain end Italy September Even if you move the days and started the first cruse in July, no way to get 8 cruises of 7 days into a month.

DocLC Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Like I said it is a error. It's not an error. The ship has two different points of embarkation ports and you do a round trip voyage from either Barcelona or Rome. This gives passengers more flexibility to board the ship and/or to plan pre- or post-cruise stays. just4kixx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This gives passengers more flexibility to board the ship and/or to plan pre- or post-cruise stays. Based upon the information the OP stated, it could only be a error as I stated. Because the poster said "there are 8 sailings listed." If it is 8 sailings then it is a error if it is four sailings with two cruises within each sailing then it is not a error. But that said DocLC statement seems to be correct and the reason that the OP made a false assumption about the number of 7 day cruises.

This is something most cruisers wouldn't know as it's fairly unusual. However, I've had a growing interest in European cruises over the past year, will be going again in July, and have the Independence booked back-to-back next year in Europe, so I've spent a lot of time researching the various itineraries. That's the only reason I know about the different ports of embarkation. MSC does this a lot in Europe, too. just4kixx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
