I am sailing on the Infinity from Sept 26-Oct 5 throughout Greece and it’s my first time sailing with tender ports.
I am not in an elite class and all my excursions are private through viator rather than through the ship. What are the realistic times that I can get a tender ticket and how early do I need to line up for them? I’ve seen some posts that it isn’t too hard to get an early slot and others saying it will be hours before you can get off. My timing down below.

Santorini- dock at 7 AM: Would love to be off the earliest as possible so we can get a boat or bus (after cable cards) over to Oia. If i get in line around 7 am do we think our tender will be before 9 am?

Mykonos- dock at 7 am: Have a reservation at a beach club at 10:30. Assuming I can get into port by 10 am?

Kavala- dock at 9 am: Have an excursion at 11:30 AM. Assuming we can get into port by 11 or hopefully earlier??

any advice would be awesome!

We are wanting to take a greek cruise for our anniversary this fall so we can see many different islands without having to unpack and trying to decide which one to take! We have it narrowed down to two but since we have only been on 1 cruise and never to greece we want some advice!

Option 1: Royal Caribbean Explorer of the Seas the last week of September

Option 2: Celebrity Infinity the last week of August

I know they say don’t go to Greece in August due to the heat and crowds but the cruise is much cheaper on that sail but wondering if that’s for a reason. the itinerary of both is almost identical, celebrity leaves from athens while royal leaves from Venice.

which would you do?

i see that you can upgrade a personal account to a business account through Duo and keep them seperate but i’m currently using a personal account as a business account and just want to upgrade it but keep all order history so i can utilize the business reporting feature. is this possible or do we have to start from scratch with a new business account?
