Hi Preziose,
Nice to hear from you. I think you have read the post about our booking with a Travel comp in the states. I must state from the start I am not telling every one to book with the Comp we have used, BUT it worked for us. We met the people who own the comp while on a Cruise 2 yrs ago, During the cruise we talked a lot about the difference between costs of Cruising between the UK and the States, Any way they told us if we wanted use them as a TA in the states there was no problem.
After a lot of really bad service from MSC this year I decided to get in touch with them. Best thing we have ever done, The Cruise we were looking at , Booking with MSC   UK  would cost around £800 each for each of us, That's an INSIDE CABIN, No Drinks package/ No FREE wifi,  Booking with the American comp , Same inside cabin, Same cruise, FREE DRINKS PACKAGE,FREE WIFI,   $650 each. How good is that.
Like I said you must do you home work on it, But these are nice people, We spent 3 weeks cruising with them and you get to know how people are. Buy all means contact them, See what works out. I will mail you again in 10 mins with all there details as I have left them in my sons , So will get them back and send to you ASAP.

Hi....I know that Cruise & Maritime & Fred Olsen sail from Liverpool but not sure if they would " tick our boxes". We once sailed from Liverpool with Marella ( Thomson)....it was so much better....certainly easier. Could there be a possibility of other cruise lines sailing from Liverpool....that would be good news. We are just about in the Hyndburn area....bordering Whalley. 

Hiya, Whalley, I use to take my caravan up that way, Little Bradford?.  I worked on the Cruise terminal at Liverpool for 5 yrs as the Head Steward over Passport control and boarding ops. There will be more bigger ships coming, At one time we could not handle the Passport side of it but now that's all sorted out. All so Peel holdings are building a new terminal  in the next few yrs which will handle all kinds of ships, So yes you will be able to sail from the Mersey, Better than going all the way down South.

Hi....thank you for the offer but we can only sail from the UK now....unfortunately our flying days are over 😥

That's ok, There will be ships sailing from Liverpool in the near future, Keep it touch, Where are you in Lances.

Hi...yes ....a couple of years ago we had numerous problems with the online check in....mistake after  mistake right up to the last minute....I was doubtful that I would have my boarding documents ....they finally came through the evening before we set off for the cruise...phew. I also received an email from MSC saying to go to reception once we were on board ....which I did. They informed me the gratuities were taken care of for the entire cruise...as way of compensation so MSC came through in the end but it had been rather stressful.

Morning janny, I have a booking with them , Made on the 7 Dec 2018, I still have not got a Final price from them. We had a cruise with them in April last yr, It was so bad they gave us a 10% discount on a future cruise, So we had a good look at what there was going. We found a cruise on 12  April 2020  20 nights Miami to Germany, So we went a head with the booking, You would think it would be quite easy , But its MSC, because the discount is in volved It has to be sent to ITALY to BE CONFIRMED.  any way we are still waiting . 9 weeks later. We have also booked the week before the 5 April to the 12th, Same ship B TO B , to book it with MSC  UK  around £800, A few yrs ago we meet some some people on board a cruise who lived in Texas, Who happen to own a travel comp, At the time they said if we where looking to book any future give them a call , So we did,  The same ship, same cruise, $650 PLUS FREE DRINKS  AND FREE WIFI.  One email is all it took, Fantastic. I no we always get told never book with American comps, But they where great, If you want there details I will gladly send them to you.

Hi Janny, You are right they are the worst C/S/ of any Cruise line, Also they did you no favours RE Gratuities, You don't have to pay them if you don't want to, Just go to the Service desk and Cancel them when on board. 

Hi, We have booked a cruise next Sept 19 taking in 8 ports, I will haveto see what comes back to you? I think the Visa for ST Petersburg may be a problem.

Reg.

I hope your roll call picks up. Did you find a company to do the Paris excursion with? Perhaps someone on your roll call can share the cost, etc.

 

Peru is pretty cool. It is on my "someday" list. :D Maybe 2017. LOL

 

My DH and I met late in life, so our kids are still young - but we are not. :) We want to see some of the world and make memories for them while we can.

 

I will have to look up London Toolkit, thank you. I think we have London worked out, only because our time there is so short - and one whole day is devoted totally to Harry Potter. So we had to limit what we pick.

Hello ,

Have just noticed you search for a tour company in Normandy, I will be in LE HAVRE this coming g Sunday 26 Oct i have hired a 18 seater mini bus with driver and guide if required from a company called LABEL WEST, Just email ingrid@label-west.fr
