I think our ship is bringing on new passengers at all ports along the way, so I wasn't confident that all that many people would be arriving for the Genoa departure. (I get this feeling because there's no roll call even though I tried to create one, but there is a roll call for a sail date towards the end of my cruise)

Furthermore, I thought more people would fly into Genoa, rather than MXP. There's not a lot of discussion on this topic either on here or on TripAdvisor.

Note: 3 days, still no response to my email to MSC.

They also don't respond to FB complaints either.

I'll be curious to see if the phone calls go well. When I called at the time of booking, they gave me a price range for a transfer, not just one number. I hope that's because they thought I needed the price in USD which would adjust due to the exchange, but it didn't help my confidence level.

I'm more concerned that if they don't answer their messages, chat requests, emails, FB, phone calls, I'll be a nervous wreck at the airport waiting for them to arrive, wondering if they'll keep their commitment to pick us up.

We found an amazing deal on this cruise so even with all the horrid reviews, we're giving it a chance.

However, like most have said, it's really hard to get an answer from MSC.

We need a transfer from Milan MXP to Genoa cruise port (4 adults). I would love to rent a car and drive ourselves, but as it's a Sunday, the only return place open is the GOA airport, which then requires a taxi. It's still an option, but I've heard that transfers through MSC are $34. For 4 of us, that's cheaper than a car rental (one way + gas + a taxi), but I'm concerned that with MSC's reputation, we'll be sitting at the airport waiting and we don't have time to take that risk.

Does anyone have any experience flying into MXP and getting to Genoa?

Someone mentioned that a lot of places in Vancouver accept US currency... would this be true for the attractions such as the aquarium and suspension bridge?

Thanks!

Wow! Where have I been? Sitting around listening to excuses from my friends for years... that's where.

I am so excited to have found this board. I do have a cruise booked for Sept with a friend due to extreme begging on my part but I still have 6 PTO days to use by year end.

I'm 31, single, never married, no kids or pets, from the beaches of South Jersey (but I promise I'm not your typical Jersey girl, I can pump my own gas). I love cruising and this thread just made my day!

If anyone knows of any great rates for the rest of this year for solos, please post them.
