I did this cruise on March 5 out of Jeddah. Flew from London Gatwick with Qatar airways arriving 03.10am.i was going to stay in the airport then make my way to the cruise terminal but there were people WITH MSC signs, supposed to be for German arrivals however they let me on a bus to the ship. Arrived about 6.30am and had to fill in the health from which took a while,there is free wifi there. Eventually got it then checked in and got the shuttle to the ship. Arrived in my cabin at 8.3am and went straight to bed after a cuppa, kettle in the room!! Was woken at 10.00am by an announcement in the cabin so got up, had a shower and went for brekkie in the buffet. Very Arabic, no sausage or bacon, apart from beef, horrible, no beans, tomato or mushrooms. Lunch in the buffet was also very Arabic. Meals in the restaurant ok. I like to sit and read on the deck, impossible as loud music around the pools and no loungers along the sides. Deck 18, where it is usually quiet only for Fat Cats ie YC. Been on nearly 40 cruises, this was the worst!! Did the walking tour around the old part of Jeddah. Just walked around the other ports with the free shuttle. Ship full of Saudies with loads of noisy kids, pushing in at the buffet, one woman stretched across me and put her sleeve in my porridge!! It was an experience, hopefully not to be repeated!!

Thanks, I rang Costa and it's Frihamnen.

Which port does this cruise leave from? I have received my cruise documents but it just says Stockholm!!
