No idea. They may not have figured it out yet LOL

I have never had Luggage Forward ban all toiletries -- only aerosols and the alcohol products you mention which we don't ship anyway. I have shipped to and from Europe. At least 20 times - lost count

I do not think I would sail on Explora even if it were free.

I am told the Explora 2 itineraries will also be in the 7-9 day range.

Agree completely They are not "voyages" or "journeys" More like a shuttle service. I already rebooked on Regent There is nothing luxurious about short itineraries.

let me try another way

Unpacking or packing never! But a proactive butler can be a godsend. Case in point My husband has some mobility issues and we usually (not always) go to meals together. The butler noticed our routines. I was off the ship and my husband decided to stay on board. Without asking, the butler brought him lunch!!! He feared my husband would not eat lunch if I were not with him. Impressive.

If I am going to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a cruise, I am not gambling. Explora is a gamble right now.

They don't have the same rules - that is my experience. The Chile situation was a case in point. I always ship my bags I just shipped 3 bags to NY yesterday Luggage Forward using UPS The UPS guy yesterday was better than minimum wage employee. I had made an error and he caught it. I accidentally put one of the Leg 2 labels on Leg 1 shipping. Life saver. This from Luggage Free website General Prohibited Items: Toiletries (soap, shampoo, toothpaste, etc.) Who wants to take toiletries on plane in limited amounts?? I want to ship all my toiletries. Only toiletry prohibited by Luggage Forward is aerosols. I repeat - they are not the same

Then there is the famous quote from Maya Angelou: When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time."

Have used Luggage Forward 20 times. Flawless I disagree that Luggage Free is just as good for following reasons. 1.no toiletries allowed? 2. on a shipment to Chile pre Antarctica cruise, Luggage Free told me I had to pick up bags at a customs station (they're not permitted to ship to the hotel). Luggage orward shipped to my hotel no problem

That is why at the end of the cruise when they have the farewell ceremony, the laundry staff gets the most applause

You only get once chance to make a first impression They blew it big time They wanted to compete in the luxury market. Many of us who routinely cruise the luxury lines were willing to give them a chance. No more. Some folks should be fired for this fiasco.

I think we misunderstood one another I did not understand u wanted to use obc ba transfer is private company. Nothing to do with ship. Private car xfer

You don’t need a letter if they publish revised itineraries and your cruise is gone

If they cancel a cruise you booked because they are rearranging itineraries, you may cancel without penalty

My cruise not until 2025 on explora1 Explora 1 itineraries out My cruise not being offered they are not even sailing to same region! i cancelled rather than wait to see if there is something I want to rebook with 30% credit (10k in my case) No penalty booked regent cruise instead no way I will go on explora even with 10000 discount

I just cancelled my explora cruise. In us. My ta says give them 30 days. The charge made to my credit card. If no refund in 30 days my ta will intervene and I will file dispute with Visa just to cover my ……

Just a disaster An embarrassment for MSC and Explora

Rats? Most luxury cruisers I know do not sail only one luxury line. Each line is very different. Itinerary and ship matter. I have bookings on regent silversea and seabourn. I like them all for different reasons. Explora looked like a nice new luxury line to try and perhaps add to my choices. Not the case

You can book batransfer before you leave for your cruise on line fair price very reliable priced according to vehicle size required

Lol. I stopped sailing Oceania after 15 cruises. I hated azamara. Once I discovered the luxury lines I did not want to go back to oceania yet another reason to cancel my explora cruise the hype was really misleading imo

We had a great cruise indeed. One of the best cruises I’ve ever taken. Fortunately my 2025 explora booking can be cancelled without penalty
