Hello and Happy New Year! I am excited to cruise with MSC for the first time this year and have a question about the availability of airport transfers. Because of the multiple start and end ports that are available in Europe and on the Grand voyages; does MSC offer airport shuttles at every starting and end ports they sell, from the common ones like Rome (Civitavecchia) to the more out of the way ones like in Egypt (Safaga)? Thank you in advance for your insights!

Fyi -- A data point to share -- Currently on Gem for a TA. The daily is showing the new $4.95 for breakfast charge as well as $9.95 for everything else.

Great thread! For some white noise, fan, allergy reduction and now covid, I use one of these: https://pureenrichment.com/products/purezone™-mini-portable-air-purifier

Thank you for taking the time to help me -- I really appreciate it! I'm actually not a hot tub or sauna person but thought it would be a great option on those cool or damp days during the voyage across the ocean.

Thank you all so much for giving me feedback. It's exactly what I was hoping for to help me decide if I'll purchase the pass before or after I tour it onboard. Thanks again and have a great weekend!

Hello; First time NCL cruiser looking at purchasing a pass for a TA cruise on the Gem. Can any previous users comment on whether the air in there would be considered "warm humid" or "heavy" due to the hot tub, sauna or pool? And whether the ambiant temperature is higher than 70F? Thank you in advance for your insight!

You did the right thing choosing the longer layover. Wouldn't hurt to give Delta a call and see what they can do without penalty -- Have the flight you'd like to be moved to handy should you decide to call. Good luck to you and have a wonderful cruise!

Are you able to chose another longer connection? Depending on time of day you land, whether you have global entry, TSA precheck etc and how long luggage takes, 3 hrs would normally be OK. I don't choose flights through JFK that have a connection less than 2 hr 45 min. My worry every year with New York airports and especially this year, been with air traffic control holding flights from landing or leaving due to congestion.

Thank you for your help -- I really appreciate it!

Hello; First time NCL cruiser as well as first time sailing into NYC. My TA cruise will arrive at 10 am a few days prior to Christmas. Disembarkation is estimated to start a couple of hours after docking. I have a choice of flights from 4 - 8 pm back to Canada. Would appreciate any experience and advice as to timing of flights and timing of transfers. Thank you in advance!

Am also considering taking my first transatlantic cruise in Dec. Would appreciate some advice as to how many hours after disembarkation to book the flight home? I've never sailed into NYC before. Thank you in advance!
