sja307 Posted March 29, 2007 #1 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Has anybody else noticed MSC are really slow at sending out their tickets? We are from the UK and are flying out to Miami to do the Lirica Carribean Cruise 18 April 2007. Hope they arrive soon. Sue xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joybaby Posted March 29, 2007 #2 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I just got off of the Opera and did not receive tickets. I called my TA and she said the are going paperless. There was a list of passenger names at the dock. Make sure you have a confirmation no. from your TA. (I did a printout.) No problem. We loved the Opera. The evening shows are the best we have ever seen. The Caribbean was very hot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthlessBoss Posted March 29, 2007 #3 Share Posted March 29, 2007 We are leaving April 1, Sunday and with no tickets in hand, was told the same thing-ticketless. Wish I had something more visual to confirm the cruise besides my booking number. As for the Caribbean being hot, is it hot reguarding temperature, or hot as in a good itinerary?

texast518 Posted March 29, 2007 #4 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Six of us received ours yesterday from on-line TA, I had to ask them to follow-up last Fri. We leave on the 7th of April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texast518 Posted March 29, 2007 #5 Share Posted March 29, 2007 The papers came in a nice MSC blue packet with other info & 2 postcards. Six bag tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joybaby Posted March 29, 2007 #6 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Weather was hot! Not all of the the travel agen. have gone to ticketless, but mine did. No problem. Just print out your confirmation and take it w/ you. They will issue you tags at the port. I took a black marker to mark mine w/ name labels. Labels are different colors accord. to your deck.

RuthlessBoss Posted March 29, 2007 #7 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I questioned my agent about why some got the packets and some not. She stated the smaller agencies do it, but large ones don't. I'm dealing with Vacations To Go, and they are large. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texast518 Posted March 29, 2007 #8 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Our TA is online vacations.com[big] @ MSC sent them the packet & they over nighted to me. I have never had a big or little TA that did not get them from cruise line, times change I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joybaby Posted March 29, 2007 #9 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I questioned my agent about why some got the packets and some not. She stated the smaller agencies do it, but large ones don't. I'm dealing with Vacations To Go, and they are large. I also used VTG and my TA called me and told me what to expect, however I did print out my confirmation just in case there was a question. Everything went smooth. lunch will be available when you arrive. I loved the OPERA, so European! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REVDONAUCTIONEER Posted March 29, 2007 #12 Share Posted March 29, 2007 We got our Boarding passes March 28th. No tickets just boarding passes along with six luggage labels, two postcards, a map of the ship and a booklet with about 20 pages on rules and things youi need to know about the ship. This all came in a cloth blue pouch. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldieAZ Posted March 30, 2007 #13 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I contact my TA (Costco Travel) on Monday inquiring about a packet of info from MSC, including the luggage tags. They contacted MSC who said they were going paperless but agreed to send one out. Unfortunately, it will travel from MSC (Miami?) to Costco (Seattle) and back to me (Phoenix). Luck and a speedy Postal Service would get these docs to me by the 5th, but we plan on taking our Costco confirmation and the MSC Declaration form and confirmation along. Thanks for the tip on taking the Black marker for the Luggage tickets at the pier! So looking forward to 11 days of R&R for my DH (with lots of sea days) !! And of course, the beautiful sights of the ports we will be visiting.... GoldieAZ PS: on the flip-side, my docs for my NCLA cruise with my Mom in Mid-May arrived in Mid- March. Way early!
