Thinking about booking a cruise and using the cruise line to buy airfare. We would be wanting to fly out of a different airport than our home airport but fly back into our home airport. Is this possible? Flying out of Orlando or Tampa and back into Charlotte.

Something I anticipate loving about MSC is the availability of good espresso based drinks throughout the ship. I love European coffee culture. I was checking out the menu and noticed a caffe shakerato so I googled it and it sounds amazing. Has anyone had one on the ship and in Italy and feel as though the experience is close to as on land? Do the bars stock flavored syrups?

I'm keeping an eye on flights for our Norway cruise and we'd like to fly home the day we get off the ship but the latest flight is a 9:45am. Hamburg suggests you get there 2 hours before your flight and you have the ability to schedule your security screening. If we took our own luggage off what would be the earliest we could disembark?

I was convinced my husband hadn't told me how much he gambled on our last Celebrity cruise after we got a free cruise offer but it turns out they counted our son's bingo winning towards my husband's gambling totals.

Does anyone know the email address I send a transfer to travel agent request to? My TA doesn't do a lot of MSC bookings. She's filling out the form for me but needs a fax number or email address. Thanks in advance.

I booked a cruise for next June. So do they stack or not? I read the T&Cs of the club membership and it doesn't mention them not being stackable. There's 3 of us in the cabin and we are all silver so the$150 OBC is more than what they are offering as a sale on some rooms. It just doesn't make sense.

I booked a cruise using the current sale and got an obc. I called because I didn't see the loyalty obc for booking 6-9 months in advance on my summary. The rep said they aren't stackable but I know the reps aren't the greatest so I wanted to double check. They originally didn't apply the loyalty discount and I had called about that and they didn't do it so I feel like I need to double check any information they give me.

Thank you. I actually figured out the difference and it's a walk in closet.

I had a grand suite auera booked for next June on Preziosa and when I priced it today with the current sale it was cheaper and there was a $400 obc. In the process of trying to rebook I found out my TA had a 15% cancellation penalty and wanted almost 2k for a deposit for 3 people. I cancelled the cruise with them and they still have the room blocked and the only other available room blocked also. I had 11009 and they also have 11010 blocked. I was able to snag 10008 which is a premium suite. There's a $100 difference between the 2 classes. If they don't release the rooms before the sale ends is there a major difference between the 2 classes?

I have a Norway cruise booked for next June. When I originally posted asking about MSC people said cruises randomly get cancelled. How often does that happen and is it generally specific itineraries? We are looking into purchasing airfare and it's a significant cost and I'm worried about the cruise getting cancelled and us stuck with air we don't want to use. I can't buy cancel for any reason insurance because it's been too long since I put the deposit down. If the cruise gets cancelled and I have regular travel insurance would that be a covered reason to make a claim for the airfare costs? Any guidance would be great.

I got the 5% and then another 5% because I had booked over a year in advance. Saved around 1k.

I stay at a hotel that provides a black wash cloth for this. It's labelled makeup remover.

There's multiple hand towels in a cabin. Europeans don't use wash clothes. Use a hotel anywhere in Europe and you will find no wash clothes. Half the time they don't even provide toiletries. One hotel I got a single what American's would consider guest soap.

Use a hand towel.
