Do the Everglades excursion and they drop you at the airport at about 12:30

Be very careful if the lawyer you are consulting is on a no win no fee basis If you lose you the judge usually awards the defendants cost against the plaintive.

I also suspect your sister had an allergic reaction to something in the meal she ate, I get a bad reaction to some Mexican spices.

Totally disagree.

Totally disagree with your disagreement!!:D

you are missing the maths

 

if you have something worth $100 and add 15 % your new total is $115

now if you decide to remove the $15 dollars you are taking away $15 from $115

in other words you are taking 15/115 x 100 = 13.04 % from your total sum

 

So 13 % is not a typo

 

pete

I see your point but that only applies if you paid the 15% and then received a refund - if you don't pay the 15% you save 15%. My view anyway and soon I'll be to drunk to care while saving 15%.;p

Did you leave any beer for me, we're joining on the 7th!

Aurea Experience includes a package of perks...

- Cabin in a preferable location

- My Choice Dining

- Access to Aurea Thermal Spa

- 2 Massages per stateroom

- Diffuser

 

I compared Bella, Fantastica, Wellness & Aurea and

thought that Aurea is the best value (cabin location &

Aurea access), before I upgraded to Yacht Club ;)

Plus private sundeck access.

So you can pass as waiter???;)

Yip

I did mean black trousers & white shirt

It's my understanding that it has more to do with the ports (you may be speaking of the embarkation port) than the cruise line. It's the local laws.

Not applicable out of Miami I believe.

Shirt & Trousers with shoes will suffice for men, done 7 MSC cruises and never been turned away.

There are also touch screens all around the ship, you can pre-book all the weeks show at the same time.

We boarded about 11:45 and were eating lunch in the Buffet by 12:15. Did not notice any barding time on our tickets. We are among those who tend to ignore them anyway!

Thanks (I tend to ignore most rules and instructions also}

Really stressing about all this now& can’t get answers from MSC re disembarkation. I’m only going on this cruise to try MSC as have never cruised with them before. I have never had any problems with any other cruise lines. I also have walked off NCL before wiTh my case& there was a lot of people doing the same thing. Can’t see why this would not be an option, I really feel that I am going to have to book a flight as late as 14.00pm so there is no doubt about getting to the airport - either that or disembark in Marseille. This is ‘taking the shine off my holiday before it has even begun’��������

I've walked off in Genoa went to the information desk explained the situation {Had to show our flight reservation documents} they exchanged our disembarkation tickets all sorted we were in the first group off.

Ok not come across this before so after some understanding....Looking at booking a Portifino tour in Geneo but have just seen that it's only available to those 'in transit' in Genoa...we get off at the next port...Rome.

I believe it means that the tour is not available for people boarding or disembarking in Genoa. Therefore it would be available for you "in transit" to Rome.

Its to do with the license of the tour operator associated with certain ports.

Hopefully they will have signs out for Aurea Boarding. When we went on the Seaside May 24th, was nothing indicating where Aurea boarding was. By chance, we went in the left door, asked the person standing there where Aurea boarding. Oh, he said right here, lifted the rope for us and we went right to security. Would have been nice if there had been signs outside directing Aurea passengers where to go. You will enjoy the perks with Aurea and we found ourselves spending a lot of time up Deck 19. And made good use of the spa.

Thanks what time did you board and was there an allocated time on your boarding pack.

Where do you find your boarding time, I just received my pack but can't find any reference to time.

Only one and you send in proof of your highest status. And don’t forget hotel loyalty also can be submitted.

Can you stack multiple loyalty cards to get higher grouping and how do they check the levels attained?

the luggage part is not for the usa cruises... drop off luggage with the porter at curb... go into the main terminal building.. stay to the left as you go in.... love aurea !!

Thanks

One of the privileges with "Aurea" package is "Priority Boarding & Luggage".

My question what does the Luggage part mean - is there a dedicated Luggage drop for the experience or does it mean the Luggage get delivered to cabin earlier?

Thank,s not long now can't wait for the 30 June!!

I've sailed on all the MSC Fantastica class ships over the last five years and each one allowed in the casinos {including Davina}. Perhaps I have just been unlucky and the policy changes per tour location.

My advice for Rome is use the train https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Travel-g187791-c151384/Rome:Italy:To.And.From.Civitavecchia.Port.html. I use the MSC bus once but the traffic is a nightmare 2.5hrs to get into city.

Baca cheaper to catch the local shuttle bus from peer to Las Rambles (Runs the same route as MSC bus but a lot cheaper} Bus stop right alongside the MSC busses.

We gave our luggage to a porter when we arrived at the port.

Thanks

Thank you very much for the 4 part resume, very helpful indeed.

Hi, where did you check-in your luggage {not carry-on}. Is there a priority area for Aurea or just a general drop off.
