I think this answer is for the get one free air package. You can book what you want if you are paying for regular flights through NCL travel agency.

When is the time to get the auto charges reduced or eliminated? The day before debarking? Does NCL allow you to tell customer service desk the amount you want to pay or do you have to totally eliminate all the charges?

Is this like southwest free messaging? You don't need any plan to send and receive imessages to anyone?

Self test in Barcelona Pharmacy is about $5 each. If you want certified test you buy self test and take test in front of pharmacist who will write up and sign certificate of result for $10 extra. Test for boarding and flight home were performed at pharmacies closest to hotel and the hotels were different each time. Procedure was the same. If you are not happy with the result of test in front of pharmacist, there is no compulsion to pay for certification; but if you need official result for insurance claim, the certificate is necessary.

The letter that was accepted was termed a "visa letter", issued by the insurance company and it said covid is treated like any other disease. the boarding agent specifically circled the word "covid" and passed, for boarding

Taxi may be cheaper with kids in tow. However, I would not expect Taxi to have car seats. MSC shuttle operates on a full and go basis. Not a timetable.

Many people joined the cruise in Genoa. Dining room is full now.

TA auto sent document pdf one day before sailing. I printed before.

They only looked at travel insurance letter and circled the word Covid. Only tried one Farmacia, nearest to hotel, about noon day before cruise. Didn't seem a big deal there.

Previous land covid test was examined during checkin. no wait for pier test results. Checkin immediately after taking pier covid test. Boarding normal delays after checkin. Boat not crowded. Buffet not crowded. Most cabins did not have baggage waiting outside. Only one type covid test was available at Farmica near hotel. antigen. After test result seen, paperwork was prepared. no special paper for cruise line. $15 each test. Test was similar to free test mailed to US folks if you ask for it.

health questionaire is in pdf of cruise documents sent after web checkin. It is a paper form they want completed less than 6 hours before you get the pier.

Please update on any boarding hassles you see. If getting covid test in Barcelona, where and experience.

have taken many cruises and never bought the travel agent pushed "travel insurance", so no experience. This covid 19 required insurance seems to be regular health insurance for US based persons? Does MSC accept health insurance cards as "proof" of insurance? This is for a med cruise in April. Is the insurance part of the documentation upload web checkin? When is it examined? I don't want or need "insurance" for any travel costs lost for any reason. I want to board the ship. Please give me real experience when you haven't bought "travel insurance" pushed by US travel agents. I am way past the "purchase by final payment" buying the MSC insurance, which the travel agent didn't even mention when I booked the cruise using FCC from 2020. The travel agent doesn't know about and doesn't want to deal with this unusual MSC requirement.
