Hi, Can any one advise of a relatively cheap way to get there please taxis seem really expensive I guess because of traffic. Any advice would be gratefully received.

Fridays departure looks fun check out  storm surfing.com and see friday night into saturday what we have instore  Hold tight!!!

I wonder why they didn't miss out one port day and come back on the same day as Queen Victoria, would have been a better option.

On the NHC Noaa.gov 12.40pm today no reports of any activity for the next 48hours in the atlantic no storms showing I think there is more to this than they are letting on especially with all the other cruise lines operating as normal off the coast of Portugal ,Spain and biscay. 

Thank you do you know what happens as I booked the cruise (not a Balcony) last year ?

Hi,

I was thinking of going for the RCI 100 shares required, 2 questions, I have a cruise booked do you receive OBC if you buy the shares after booking and can you still still get the balcony discount Thanks

Hi,

This came from Cruise 1st so I guess they got it direct from someone with authority  at MSC as she said she would only get back to me once it was confirmed.Still don't see the Main website updated, apparently they did not figure on so much negative feedback. Hopefully they might do the job properly next time and include it on new bookings only if thats the way things are going to go.

   Just got this through   Good Morning,

Following our conversation the other day, I’ve now received an email back from MSC.

MSC have now confirmed this rule has now been removed and only for the UK, so the tips are not compulsory.

Clients can remove them at the end of the cruise if they are not happy with the service.

Hope this helps, please contact customer services if you still need any help on

Interesting that P&O can give their guests 6 months plus notice that they are removing the Gratuities and MSC give just over 5 weeks to say you have no option but to pay and even that is from Facebook comments by others. I am very disappointed last MSC cruise got talking to quite a few staff members including waiters and all said they hardly ever saw any Gratuities.I have always paid them direct so I know they get them.One loyal family who will be booking elsewhere after my last 2 cruises with them.
