hi there anybody got a link to the latest msc drinks menu

thanks in advance:)

ta has backed down and found 4 seats :) not even checked with my ta yet about our flights should be ok :D

thanks for the help guys

Am I missing something here? Your friends paid a TA for a fly cruise - the TA has a contractual agreement to provide your friends with flights, from the original airport to Southampton.

 

Flybe is full, not your problem, it's the TAs problem. The TA should Book another airline at their cost!

thats right but txxxxx cook are blaming msc and the flight now is 5 times the price with limited spaces now and both are passing the buck :mad:

not heard from him today so hopefully he has a resolution

wee update they have now offered him flights from manchester :mad:

but they are looking to fly him the night before

It is hard to say who is at fault, with ought sight of the documentation. Have they got a confirmation issued by MSC stating that the Flybe flights were included? At the end of the day, they booked with a TA and they are responsible for ensuring the arrangements are in place. They should be trying to come up with alternatives for them. What about a flight to Gatwick or HRW with train or coach transfer from there? What about train?

 

It was the TA who took their money for a fly/cruise, so it is them who should be ensuring that is what they are getting.

 

As an aside, MSC (and no doubt other cruise companies) get block bookings of seats on various flights at a certain proce, which is why they can often provide a flight add on at a cheep are price than you can buy yourself. I suspect what may have happened is that they had more people booking than their allocation. Alternatively the otherbTA may not have checked the paperwork from MSC at the time to ensure flights had been booked.

flights were booked with the cruise in aug with ta (tc) and someone either tc or msc never booked them on the flight :rolleyes:

they both are now passing the buck with the customer in the middle :eek:

hi there

16 of us are booked on the msc opera in july ,12 of us booked with one ta and the other family booked with another ta (tc) they have now informed them that they have not booked them on the flight from Edinburgh to Southampton and gave them there £200 back saying the flight is full :on the flybe site they have two spaces left but when you call them they have 9 spaces but they cost £239 each return:mad:

not checked with my ta yet as i assume they have done there job .

who is at fault tc is blaming msc and msc are blaming tc and they are now stuck with a long drive to Southampton :mad:

this was all booked last aug and paid in full at xmas

thanks for any advice :D

Firstly, this is principally a revenue-enforcement policy - the line wants you to buy drinks on board not carry them on. They are not going to bother about water or tea.

 

Secondly, the line does not want to upset its customers so a small amount of 'smuggling' will generally be tolerated. Anything wholesale will be stamped on.

 

Finally, there is a distinction between buying contraband ashore and confessing upon boarding where it will be taken off you, receipt issued and returned to you on your last day and the alternative of trying to sneak things by security when there is a chance it will be confiscated and not returned.
