Rare 1kaper Posted May 27, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 27, 2022 My husband and I have a trip planned for November but are considering changing. It started because we have flight credits for an airline that have to be used. The problem is, flights are pretty limited. All the Europe flights are done end of October. We wanted to go away November but will do October. No earlier. It’s supposed to be a “cheap” trip. Just a quick get away. Originally it was an AirBnb in a Caribbean country but the flights are terrible. Normally we love warm weather. Mostly we just want to relax, sitting by the pool with a drink. The MSC Caribbean cruises aren’t really exciting me. I have found a Northern Europe cruise for a great price. Obviously not warm. It would be on the MSC Preziosa. Anyone done this cruise? Feedback?

Rare MarkusToe Posted May 27, 2022 #2 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I would say, northern Europe is not cold in November, if you are in bad luck it's lousy cold😁 and wet. Why not in the med area..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not in the med area..... October is what we are looking at for this trip. All flights to Europe with this airline end the end of October. I looked at the Med. It would mean travelling to another part of France to get on the ship which probably isn't much of an issue. But. With the Northern Europe option, the drinks and wifi package is like an extra hundred each. All the med cruises are way more. We would like to have the drink package. So it becomes not as cheap of a trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defbref Posted May 27, 2022 #4 Share Posted May 27, 2022 What is the actual itinerary ? And early/late October ? I'm booked on a Virtuosa sailing out of the UK which is heading to France and Spain in October. Might be a better option ? Not saying it will be warm but more chance heading south than north to Germany/Holland/Scandinavia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't picked a date but leaning towards earlier October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
