Venice airport departures

[procter]

See from Venice airport website that they offer a dock to plane luggage departure service.

You get your luggage tags and airline boarding passes at the departure from the ship.

This will enable you to go direct to departures on arrival at airport rather than have to wait for check in to open.

We get off in Venice at 8.00am but Ba departure is not until 13.35 hence likely 4 hour wait

 

 

 

Do Azamara use this service or how could we arrange this to avoid standing around.

Might be a useful service for Larry to consider to ease disembarkation pain.

Not sure if free!!!?? or who pays.

 

 

No info on site

Quote from venice website

 

"In collaboration with Venice Terminal Passeggeri S.p.A., the port passenger terminal management company and the competent authorities (the Italian Civil Aviation Authority and the Police), SAVE S.p.A. has started operating a pre-check-in service exclusively for cruise passenger charter flights.

 

This service simplifies these passengers' transit formalities in Venice, because they can move between Marco Polo Airport and the port without having to carry their baggage with them.

 

When they disembark in the port at the end of the cruise, cruise passengers are given the boarding cards for their various return flights so that they can go straight to the departure lounge when they get to the airport without having to wait for the usual check-in formalities.

Hold baggage is handled separately from passengers because after being labelled in the port it is taken to the airport and put directly into the baggage sorting system.

 

This service is intended for passengers that have bought a tour package including charter flights to/from Venice, and may be activated on the joint initiative of the shipowner and the shipping agent or charter carrier.

 

The pre-check-in service is not available for sensitive flights to the USA or Israel, or flights run by carriers belonging to these countries.

Flights to the UK and/or UK carrier flights may take advantage of this procedure, but the baggage van has to be escorted from the port to the airport.

 

The file " cruises procedure" describes the operating procedure to follow."

 

 

Bill I hope you can follow up

British Airways do not accept luggage by this scheme at present according to their people. So the one time you might have wanted to be on a charter flight

 

I suspect it would be a logistical nightmare to try and do it for all the different schedule flights, block groups to charter flights would be easier. You might like to put your post onto the thread that was asking for ideas on how to improve the experience so Bill can easily find and signpost the various relevant posts to Mr Pimentil

Thanks for your input.

I can see the problems but any ship might have up to 10 flights being used as charters.

It would require some organisation but Azamara will know 1 week ahead who is on which plane and which goes where and once luggage is identified and transported it does not have to be by flight as it will all be tipped into one processing luggage conveyor /point at the airport.

It would be a win win for azamara as no delays filling coaches with baggage just people.

Happy people not hanging around waiting for checkins to open.

What is not to like?

It is actually not as simple as that. The airlines have to arrange all the tagging for all the different flights, the tags have to all be correctly processed etc etc

 

On Azamara I have never seen that number of different charter flights being used - I have seen groups going to different scheduled flights but that is different.

 

I agree people do not want to hang around waiting for check in, but I would also prefer my luggage to come home on the right plane and whilst I think the idea works fine were a large % of the plane is chartered when you have several groups of passengers going to several different planes it is a recipe for chaos, far better to travel with my luggage to the airport and be sure it is going to make it IMHO.

 

Yes of course Azamara can explore the idea but I would prefer them to look at others as well. In the meantime, for our Venice return, I am working out my own ways to pass the time before we can check in

How long do you have?

 

Depending upon the answer to that, I would disembark and go to a fabulous hotel (probably the Hotel Splendide, for example)... and sit with my luggage in their wonderful bar... OR.. leave my luggage with valet and go to either of a number of cafes right around the area. Hotel Splendide has a water taxi dock, right outside their doors. I would coordinate a water taxi to the VCE at the appropriate time to get me there for check in. BTW, there is a porter waiting by the water taxi drop off point (you may already know this), but the walk is so easy from that point to check in that I could easily handle my bags myself if I wanted to... (you know, to save the tip because I had just spent a bunch of money on an indulgence! LOL). Actually, although we were willing to pay the water taxi fare to go to VCE, there were so many people who wanted to "share" a water taxi that we ended up having to disappoint a group or two. This was a splendid (pun intended) way of ending our cruise to Venice. (Although, in full disclosure, we did spend a few nights in Venice after the cruise.)

 

Anyway, if the Hotel Splendide is too out of the way, I'd check into what hotels have a water taxi dock and spend a relaxing time that way. Just an idea.

 

BTW, you know we sailed together on the Summit to Bermuda. Although we exchanged pleasantries on the Roll Call, we never got to meet... a shame. Hopefully, we can "bump" into each other again... and soon.

Hello 123

 

I do remember that Summit roll call - we certainly enjoyed that cruise although as I recall they forgot to send us details of the Cruise critic event.

Thanks for your advice, it is likely our flight will not be until around 16-- so I really like your suggestions. Had it been lunchtime, we might have asked for a 9am disembark and made our way slowly to the airport as we do have lounge access although you are still limited by when the fast bag drop opens

But I do like your ideas of a short stop at a lovely hotel, we always go by water taxi as we do not travel light we do worry about sharing in case we do not have enough room for another couple - a water taxi is a lovely special end to the trip and after all you spend on the cruise, the cost is very sensible all in all.

Hello Procter -

 

I'm pleased to follow up on your behalf.

 

To start, Larry Pimentel has shared with me his objective to improve the supplementary services that we provide to our very important and valuable UK guests. He has directed the global operational and administrative staff to make that a top priority which means that the air component for the three Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd brands in the UK is managed by a staff in the UK.

 

With that in mind, I'm forwarding your comments and suggestions to our Air Planning staff in the UK as well as to our Guest Support Manager. In each market, each airline has their own operating norms and regulations. The UK group, therefore, will be positioned to assess your comments within their scope of local-market airline business practices.

 

I'm asking that they respond when they are able, so that I can share with you an email address where a conversation can begin.

 

Thank you Procter and Uktog for your attention to detail and for the time to share your thoughts for operational improvements.

 

Best regards,

 

Bill Leiber

Hello Procter -

 

I've learned some information from our UK air planning staff about your effort to find an alternative for Venice disembarkation to avoid a four hour wait at the airport. Debarkation will usually take place between 7am - 9am with all guests debarked by 9am.

 

As was noted, the service to which you refer is only for charter flight services and we are not operating any charter flights. The reason that this service can be offered for charter flights is that the luggage is required to be securely stored and assured that no one has had access to the luggage. Then, the luggage has to be securely transported from the ship to the airport, where the airline would then take it over and check the luggage in. But when guests are on ad-hoc flights this is near impossible to do and is not a service we are able to offer. Also, because our guests prefer to extend their stay and add pre/post stays this need for flexibility makes chartering very challenging.

 

During the summer season, there is one restriction imposed by the Venice airport which restricts access to departing passengers so that no-one is allowed to enter the building more than 3 hours prior to their flight. Therefore, we have staggered departure times to the airport to accommodate these guests. There is, however, an optional program where if a guest buys transfers from us they can pay 4 Euros per person and store their luggage at the pier until their transfer leaves. Guests must claim their luggage and go through Customs before they can hand off their luggage. Contact reservations for details. I hope this information is helpful.

 

Unfortunately, our team does not know of any service that is offered where the guest picks up their luggage at the airport in Venice.

 

Best regards,

 

Bill Leiber

Hi Bill,

Thanks for your comprehensive research and reply

I thought that it might be too good to be true for scheduled flights etc.

Not sure if any of us knew about the 3 hour restriction but as we have had no previous comments from any Venice passengers re this restriction it looks like it is not actually enforced by anyone.

Can you imagine the drop off zone if it was.

Looks like a 4 euro job and as late disembarkation as possible.

Thanks again.

[uktog]

Thanks Bill

Procter, in working out your timings, some things to bear in mind.

Bad news I am afraid, on the frequent flyer equiv to Cruise critic, Marco Polo airport is frequently berated as being one of the worst, most inefficient airports in Europe. What I can read is

 

1. Despite the chaos it causes, they are stopping people entering the airport early, it seems taxis and busses are targeted

2. They do not open check ins until 2 hours beforehand, as is typically the case, check in is an outsourced arrangement so although BA can and do kick up a stink from time to time, their hands are tied

3. After being in one of their security lines, you will praise for ever the management and efficiency of Terminal 5 and other UK places you thought we're not good.

 

I think it is a case of remembering all this is out of Azamaras hands and just accept sadly the service love bubble around you will be burst here and make as best you can if the situation.

 

Certainly we are in a forewarned is forearmed mode for our Venice arrival/ departure next time

[Member123]

I want to inform you of my departure from Marco Polo Airport! I'm not really one of those "Mary Sunshine" people, but the airport was a very pleasant experience for us.

 

We did arrive at the airport about 3 hours before our flight. As I mentioned previously, we arrived by water taxi. As I also mentioned previously, we shared the taxi with another couple whom we had never met. My husband and I are very independent, self-sufficient people. I, unfortunately at times, am an extensive planner. I'm only mentioning this because I had my euro exchange figured out down to the last euro, and we were boarding a flight home and I didn't want to have any euros left.

 

When we got out of the water taxi, the man who shared our taxi negotiated with a porter to take our luggage. This isn't something that we wanted to do! This particular porter could only take the luggage from the water taxi to the entrance to the security area, for whatever reason. So, when he held out his hand for the negotiated "tip," I ended up spending all of my reserved euros. I, therefore, had no more tip money. Another porter introduced himself to us and I explained that we would have to be "on our own" because I was out of money. He just laughed and told me "not to worry," and helped us get into the right security line.

 

We did wait in line for a short while, maybe 15 minutes? We had conversation with others so the time passed pleasantly. In fact, the entire time at the airport passed very pleasantly. Yes, there were lines to go through. Yes, it was a bit of a traffic jam, as it is in most airports. A terrible experience? NO! Perhaps being an American, and not being used to the "proper" queueing that frequent BA flyers seem to be born with (:D please take a bit of gentle ribbing), I wasn't a bit bothered by the warmth of the Italian "method."

 

I can tell you that I would fly in/from Venice, without a second thought. Going through Heathrow? No, that's another story! But, for a different thread. I'm just saying that I wouldn't be put off by the thought of ending your vacation by dealing with Marco Polo Airport! Just have a few handy Italian phrases at your disposal. Thank you. Have a nice day. Etc.

Thanks. I must agree with everything you said. We have flown in and out of Marco Polo airport many times and have never had a bad experience. We never go into an airport with high expetations, so we are not often disappointed. We have always found them to be efficient and pleasant. That being said, we usually fly out the day after the ship arrives at the port and stay at a local hotel so we do not get stressed out if they do not have an afternoon flight that day.

Hi Bill,

 

Having loved our first Azamara cruise at Easter (Seville-Barcelona), we have just booked "Spain to French Riviera" on Quest from 15 to 22 May 2014. Our return flight from Nice to Manchester (UK) is on Jet 2, departing at 18.10. Given the discussions on this forum, and other review sites, I am worried that we will be deposited at the airport many hours before our flight, and before we can check in luggage. Are you able to put my mind at rest and tell me what the likely arrangements will be for this departure? As the cruise is advertised widely in the UK with Manchester flights, I assume we will not be the only Azamara clients on this flight.

 

Thanks

[Bill Leiber]

Hello Wacktle -

 

Please give me some time to check with our UK air planning staff about the logistics surrounding the return flight to Manchester on Jet2.

 

As I must be absent from Cruise Critic on Wednesday and Thursday, I'll be getting back to you this coming Monday.

 

Thanks for your patience.

Hi Bill,

 

I'm keen to know what Azamara will provide for people returning to the UK on this late flight from Nice on 22 May 2014. I'm thinking of booking another cruise for later in 2014 and such arrangements will be a factor in making a choice.

Hi ... is there any answer yet please?

 

Hello Wacktle -

 

Unfortunately I do not have an answer to provide for you about the flights for next May 2014.

 

I will need more time to sort out this information because of the recent announcement to restructure the UK & Ireland Call Center that services the three RCL Cruises Ltd brands into individual operating units for each brand.

 

I'm seeking a contact so that you can discuss the situation with someone in the UK office. Until then, thanks for your patience\.

Hi Bill,

 

Thanks for replying. However I'm wondering whether you've misunderstood my query as your reply refers to flights for May 2014. To clarify, our flights have already been arranged as part of the "free flights" offer. Our return flight from Nice to Manchester (UK) is on Jet 2 departing Nice at 18.10. The query related to how Azamara would handle our late departure from Nice, given that you ask for people to be off the ship by 8am (I think). I am worried that we will be deposited at the airport many hours before our flight, and before we can check in luggage. As the flights have been packaged by Azamara and the cruise was advertised widely in the UK with Manchester flights, I assume we will not be the only Azamara clients on this flight. By the way, I have seen that there is a "See Nice and travel to the airport" type of excursion, but that would still get us to the airport very early. I will wait for your reply, and understand that the re-organisation may delay the information.

Hello Joan -

 

I learned from the UK office that you will be transferred to the airport directly after disembarkation. Although there will be nothing additional offered as part of the package, there are several options available for your consideration:

 

OPTIONAL SHORE EXCURSION: A Taste of Old Nice with Airport Transfer / NX08

Adult @ $81.75 USD / Child @ $74.25 USD / Departure Time @ 9 AM

Description:

This is a tour transfer designed for you to discover the city of Nice before ending at the airport. Luggage will be stored beneath the coach and stops will be made at both terminals. Make sure you keep with you all you need for the duration of that excursion, as you only will have access to your luggage again at the end of the tour at Nice airport.. Nice, the fifth largest city in France, acts as a magnet attracting people from all other the world. Both elegant and simple, Nice's charms come from its exceptional climate as well as its beauty. Even in the winter, its many terrace cafés are filled with people enjoying drinking and contemplating the famous Cours Saleya in Old Nice, which you will discover in this excursion. The baroque style is the most represented in old downtown Nice : churches , chapels, and even palaces can be easily recognized by that magnificent style. Ste-Reparate, Jesus Church and Palais Lascaris are some beautiful examples you will see during this tour. To complete the experience, as the only way to know the real Nice is by trying its savory cuisine, you won't miss the onion-anchovies-olives tart called pissaladière and the famous specialty made from chickpea flour known as socca. Last but not least you will visit the animated flower and vegetable market and will be able to do some shopping in the typical boutiques of the old town before boarding your coach again for the scenic drive to

Nice airport (stop at both terminals) where you will get your luggage back from the bus baggage trunks.

 

IMPORTANT NOTE: As delays due to traffic conditions of the day may happen, this tour should not be taken by guests who have a flight scheduled to fly out of Nice earlier than 3:30 pm. This leisurely tour ends at the airport and is only available for guests with flights departing Nice at 3:30 pm or later. Your knowledgeable guide will show you around the small old streets filled with lovely Baroque style ornaments. Taste a glass of local wine and local snack, and you'll enjoy some free time to browse for shopping in the boutiques. Explore the famous Flower Market (replaced by an antique market on Mondays). Tour ends at Nice airport (stop at both terminals).

 

LATE DISEMBARKATION PROGRAM:

We often have the late disembarkation program available, however, it's not applicable to all voyages and usually is not confirmed until closer to departure. Rather, than holding up my response to you, here is a summary of the program's details for your consideration:

§ US ports are not included since the US Customs and Border Protection does not allow anyone to stay onboard.

§ The “Late-Debark” option cannot be pre-booked and can be only booked onboard.

§ Because of the size of our vessels and the fact that the late-staying guests overlap with arriving new guests, the maximum number of guests that can be accommodated onboard is thirty (30). Bookings are first-come, first-served.

§ Guests must vacate their staterooms by 8:30 AM.

§ Guests may use the public lounges and/or pool deck.

§ A movie will be shown in the Cabaret Lounge.

§ Lunch will be served at 11:30 AM and will include our complimentary inclusive beverage program.

§ Guests will be required to disembark from the vessel no later than 1:00 pm.

§ More detailed information will be available onboard. Each cruise/each port may require a slight deviation from the time frames above directed by local officials. Also some inconveniences may occur as the vessel is made-ready for the new arriving guests."

§ The cost is $ 49.95 per person.

§ Note - all 2014 information about this "Late-Debark" program is subject to change.

 

MAKE PRIVATE ARRANGEMENTS:

When you're onboard you can visit our shore excursion concierge to custom-tailor a private tour that delivers the sights you want to experience and ensures that you arrive on time at the correct terminal for the return flight to Manchester. I'm sure that you will meet like-minded UK guests who may wish to join you. Of course, there is Cruise Critic's voyage roll-call available for networking in advance.

 

I hope this information helps you in your decision-making. In the meantime, I will post the final 2014 details of our "Late-Debark" program on this thread.

 

Thank you for your patience and for your loyalty to Azamara Club Cruises.

 

Sincerely,

Bill Leiber
