Have cruised a LOT but never done a Transatlantic. I know the weather will be iffy and leans more toward cold and windy than calm seas with the sun shining. Any special clothing to take? How do you dress for a TA cruise?
I know there is a tourism area at the cruise port but do they offer tours you can book once you get off the ship? Or what would be the cost to hire a taxi for a few hours to see the sights outside of the city? I have read to make sure the driver speaks English but have not seen any mention of costs other than it is much cheaper than the ship.
Does anyone know the cost of internet if you do not purchase a package ahead of time? Can you just do a daily rate when needed? Cost of the two devices, premium? Captain's Club Elite gets a 30 percent discount I assume off of the daily rate, yes?
Sailed on Sinfonia about seven or eight years ago, It was our first MSC cruise in Europe. We enjoyed it. Mostly Italians onboard so be prepared for the lack of waiting in line etc. We never met any other Americans until the disembarkation and found out there were only 20 onboard. It is a smaller ship but we enjoyed it. The service was very good also.
