Port calls skipped after electrical fire
The 'Celebrity Infinity' suffered an electrical fire, which led to a total blackout onboard, leaving the ship unable to proceed to Mykonos. After being stuck in Kuşadası for two days, the remainder of the ports on the 7-night cruise have been unexpectedly canceled. The ship was expected to sail around 8:00 p.m. LT on July 9. However, the ongoing technical issues couldn't be resolved in time. The 'Celebrity Infinity' will remain docked in Kuşadası through July 11 at 3:00P p.m. and then return to Athens,, for debarkation as originally planned on July 11. The original itinerary had them sailing from Turkey to Mykonos; Kavala, and Thessaloniki,. Although Kavala had been removed from the itinerary due to the lengthened stay in Kuşadası, guests were still hopeful that they'd call at Mykonos and Thessaloniki. To make up for the shortened experience, Celebrity Cruises offered compensation across two forms. All guests received a refundable onboard credit worth 50% of their cruise fare. Any unused portion will be returned to the original form of payment after the cruise. In addition, a Future Cruise Credit (FCC) equal to 50% of the fare paid will be issued for use on any Celebrity Cruises sailing departing within the next 12 months. Shore excursions booked for Mykonos and Thessaloniki were automatically cancelled and fully refunded. Celebrity offered alternatives while the ship remained docked, such as curated tours for July 10, going beyond Kusadasi and Ephesus. The 'Celebrity Infinity' was due to return to Athens as scheduled on July 12, indicating that the ship remained operational and seaworthy, even if some comfort-related issues persisted such as problems with air conditioning, power outages in some staterooms, and meal service delays.
