Hi all, probably been answered already but is it possible to print off locator forms for returning home on board the ship .

Hi all ,  have the covid 19 insurance booked with Msc ..just wondering what do i need to bring with me as proof or will it be on their system .

Hey , just wondering when filling out the health control form for Spain  as to destination ...is the cruise ship and address of port  sufficient  or do i check box on website that Spain is not final destination    ...as been in transit .

Just spoken with MSC and the reps response was exactly as post #155 - antigen or PCR within 48 hrs. The rep admitted that things have evolved over the last few days but that they have been advised in the last day or two that the website is correct and they should advise passengers accordingly. He was unsure if a further email - superseding the Sept email - will be issued. He was pretty convincing tbh (and good humoured about the confusion over the last few days). I’m going to cancel my PCR tests n go with the antigen versions (as we can’t organise PCRs with the new 48 hrs timeframe). Sorted - I hope!!

ITS so frustrating , I just emailed Msc Germany ( long story ) whom i have a cruise booked on Seaview for the end of the month and they replied 

As you are coming from a non Schengen country you have to fulfill the following requirements in order to be allowed on board:

- being fully vaccinated

- a PCR Test that is not older than 72h at the time of embarkation

The randox ie website mentions Rapid (3hr) PCR tests in their FAQ section, do you know how much they are? Can't find any booking or pricing info on their site.

its 89 euro  but its also says on the site coming to dublin airport soon.,,,so may nor be available yet.

Someone posted the info about a place in Dublin that does the PCR for €69 per test (Boots Chemist is charging €139 here!) so I’ve booked it there.  I wouldn’t be the type to leave it til the last minute (such as getting it done at the airport).

 

According to the website, you can have both PCR and antigen tests done onboard.  It doesn’t indicate the charge, but there’s bound to be one, unless, in the case of an antigen test, it’s required at the port of disembarkation.  We had one done on NCL, without charge, last month because Barcelona required it. 
 

Randox laboratories are doing PCR tests for 59 euro , they have several places in dublin

just looking at insurance now but bit confused as to what we need?

 

is it normal cruise cover but also Covid-19 on top, i've got quotes for around £35 bit not sure if that's the right cover

 

any advice appreciate and we are UK passengers

 

We have our normal travel insurance but we also took out MSC  covid insurance @ 25  euro. From what i believe any insurance will do once it includes covid cover.

Just wondering how strict Msc are with embarkation time, from what i can see we don't go on board till 4pm ...should we try getting on earlier .

Have taken out covid insurance with mcs for upcoming cruise later this month on Seaview , just wondering is the pdf of insurance policy sent is the actual policy or is is there one emailed with the cruise tickets .

Hey guys , anyone out there have an email address for MSC in Germany , having trouble checking in on line and as i am not in Germany finding it hard to contact them .

Hey all,   booked on Seaview in October. Booked tru online company  and found myself dealing with Msc German site  ( thank God for Google translate as we are from Ireland )all good only problem is when I try check in it won't allow me add my address .

Hey guys, booked 4 night cruise on Seaview for October. Was wondering if anyone knew what drinks package they include as beverage package included.

As a cruise ship is the location of where your staying ,what do you put in for address for where your staying.

Thinking of booking a cruise on Seaview in October now that it is open to Irish cruisers ,was wondering will we need separate passenger locator forms for every country visited even if we don't leave the ship .

Can anyone tell me which terminal Magnifica docks at in Pireaus , also is the X80 still running or would I be better using metro for visit to the Acropolis .

Having been on Splendida last year was wondering what to expect from Magnifica . crusing out of Venice on the 29 sept doing the Greek islands any advice on what to do or what not to do .

Thanks for the replies guys .

if you have brought the premium drinks package then you have paid for it already surely

 

On the site it t didn't give me the choice to pay  just got an email confirming I had it booked .

Just wondering , having just booked the premium drinks package on line was wondering was there a way to pay before hand instead of waiting till check in on departure .

Thanks for the replies guys , will let Msc take the mugshots .

Having filled in my check in on line and downloaded photo , when I returned a few days later found that my photo not registered . Anyone have this problem before.

Just wondering if anyone has booked transfers from airport to ship with MSC before ..flying into Abu Dhabi and have organised transfers with MSC but the only detail i have is to take bus N ..do we get met at the airport by a rep

thanks in advance for any info .

(Off-topic) I'm sure you're relieved to see an improvement in the weather! ;p

Really looking forward to some sun and a relaxation .

Hi , sailing on Splendida on the 18th calling to Abu Dhabi , Sir bani yas , Muscat , Khor Fakken and Dubai ..we dont require visa and entry permits ( day pass ) are given to you as you leave the ship and returned by you as you return to the ship ...we are travelling from Ireland so not sure if that makes a difference .
