Go Cubbies

It is obvious, with the responses I have received, that Customer Service is non-existent with MSC.  I must say, though, that I went onto MSC's Facebook page and sent a private message, and I received a response IMMEDIATELY.  Also, after trying to get this problem resolved since Dec 24th, I finally received an email, yesterday, that there has been a resolution.  Unfortunately, the damage has already been done and, unless something miraculously happens on my cruise, this will be my one and only cruise with MSC.

I know trying to resolve something for 11 days seems like forever, but try to remember that there have been 2 major holidays & a weekend in there, so it may take a little longer.

Not saying it should be ok to not respond, but just have a little patience.

Thanks so much for the info!! I will see what appeals to my other half from the options and ask for quotes. 

We are flying into LHR early on departure day (9-23-20).  Our cruise on MSC doesn't depart until 8pm, so if we use private transport, will we be able to take the "scenic route"?  Or is the scenic route the normal way to Southampton?  If not, how much does that add to the cost of the transfer? 

Thanks for any assistance!!  I'm excited about Europe, but definitely unsure of the land travel.

The port is only about 10 miles from the port, so not sure you would want to pay to leave a rental while you are gone.

 

The terminal is in an industial area so there is not much else out there.

 

I would take a shuttle or taxi....

Thanks! I looked into shuttles & it looks good. I was thinking of just a day's rental...it was cheaper than 6 of us on Carnival's transfer. lol

We will be arriving at the airport around 11am for a 4pm departure. With 6 of us, I am thinking a rental may be more affordable & comfortable. Any opinions?

How far is the port from the airport?
