Anyone have any suggestions how to get to the catacombs in Palermo?  Thinking about doing a HOHO bus tour, it looked like there was a stop near there, but to far to walk?

Needing advice the best way to get to the ship from the train station in Marsielle.  There will be 6 of us.  Best way to get back after? 

TIA

Where are you booking a time.  I cant ser that on my site?  We are 40 days out.

We are on your same cruise!  

We will be cruising in March on the Meraviglia in and out of Marseille.  Does anyone know what time we can board?  Also if we take need to take a train when we get off, will be we able to make a 12pm train? TIA

Hi!  We will be in port from 10-6pm.  I would like to see the Blue Grotto and Mdina.  I know they have taxis at the port, that will take you around, but not sure how reliable they would be.  I emailed the black cab co and Amy Pace.  Does anyone have any recommendations?

 TIA

I am planning to go to West Bay beach to snorkel for the day. Some questions

Will I be able to find a cab when we get off the ship to take us there? What would the cost be? Also would love to be able to rent a float, as we already have snorkel gear, but not floats. Would there be any to rent?

Thanks!

I just found something that was saying will be done in February.

Were they allowed on the water slide? I saw somewhere else that it's called a teen slide or something, and wasn't sure if that meant there was an age minimum.

Yes they could go down. They did not like it though, it was to slow. They had to crawl out the end of because they did not make it all the way to the bottom.

I think she was politely letting them know that the excursion company could do better. As she said she knew its not MSC fault. If the company gets enough complaints about a certain company they could go with a different company to supply better service. She was not asking to be refunded, it was basically informative, so it seems.

Thank you Bosjoe. That was my point exactly. If they don't know they can't fix it. I even told them I was not upset with them.

No ressies needed. We never had a problem getting a seat and we had 6 people. The shows are fantastic.

You will love them.

We just brought water on board the Divina last week. No alcohol though.

Have a great trip!

You will have a great time!

My boys tend to enjoy hanging out in the pool, so that's what we did on the sea days. That was one thing I wished they had more kids activities for sea days. My boys don't like the kids clubs on ships.

Our family of 4, mom, dad and twin boys 10, had a great time on the Divina.

My mom and her friend also joined us. I will give you a quick review of the experience. The ship was BEAUTIFUL. My mom has stated to many people that this is the most beautiful ship she has been on (she's been on about 4). Check in went very smoothly and we were on board and have lunch at 12:30. We then went to tour the ship. CLEAN! This ship was so clean.

We did not have our bags before dinner so my husband had to wear shorts.

The dining room was great. Gusti was our waiter. Every night he would cut my sons' steak. He loved that. My husbands complaint was it was challenging to get a cocktail during dinner. The drink coupons were very easy to use.

The first night I went to the excursion desk to double check that my reservation for the dolphin swim in Grand Cayman was scheduled. I did this online before we left and called to confirm it. It was not, so we needed to sign up again. We had to rooms going. The night before they give you the meeting place and time, well they did not put my room together with my moms. Long story short, we did finally get together- my complaint was how it all was handled. We tend to vacation a lot in Disney and I feel that they have superior customer service. MSC could learn from them. This error was MSC's mistake, yet not one person apologized to me. The excursion was awesome until the end when we had to take a hot taxi back to the ship and their was not enough room for all of us. My 10 year old did not even have a seat. I know this was not MSC's fault, but it is good to let them know. I did bring this politely yo the excursion desk and still was not thrilled with the way managed my complaint.

The shows onboard were amazing, I think we saw 4 or 5 of them. The food I thought was comparable to any other ship I was on. I wished that had a few more kids activities. All and all we had a wonderful time and would sail on MSC again.

Does anyone know if when you book an excursion via MSC if it will show up on your cruise tickets?

Our drink package did.

Thanks!

I got us checked in. I was told that we would have luggage tags after we checked in. I did not see anything?

Anyone know where I find them? I did the web check in on the MSC site.

If you have still not received your e-docs that include your luggage tags via email, please contact your travel agent or call us directly at 866-545-8088.

Thanks. I am on hold now. It's been 35min and then I was told I am a group booking, only to be transferred somewhere else.

I hope MSC hires more people. These hold times are ridiculous.

We are about 3 weeks away from sailing. When I check in online is that how I get my ticket? How about the baggage tickets, where do I get those?

I am trying to find transportation from the Fort Lauderdale Airport to our hotel, Then from the hotel to the port and then the port to the airport.

I am not having a lot of luck having companies email me back. Does anyone have any companies that they can recommend?

Thank you, I did receive a call. It is nice to know that you read these message boards.

I had the same problem. Waited 30 and the women was quite rude to me. She told me to send an email. So I went online and filled out the form. It's been about 10 days, never heard back.

I thought I had once read that each person in the same room needs to have the same dink package.

Anyone know if this is correct?

We will be sailing the Divina in March. I called cuts care to see about an excursion. We would like to do the dolphin cove1 yet we have one who only wants the encounter. I was told no we can't so that because they are separate excursions. Really? She told be to contact the private excursions and see if they can help. She was not the most pleasant- and I told her. Quite frustrating. Any ideas?

Thanks all for your help.

Tickets home are bought.

Can't wait!!

I know we can't make a 10 am flight, but thoughts on a 1150 from FLL getting off the Divina? What time can we get off the ship?

The flight I was planning to take just went up.

Thanks!

Are there any fishing and snorkel tours available?

Thanks all. That's what I thought too.

The earlier flight is so much cheaper. Guess we will bite the bullet and pay more.

Whatever happens we will have a great time.
