Bren99 Posted January 29, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 29, 2014 This will be our first European cruise having only done transatlantic or fly-cruise to the Caribbean. What is the procedure at Marco Polo airport, do we collect our own baggage for transfer to the ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@Porthole Posted January 29, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 29, 2014 10th September? My girlfriend are going then. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bren99 Posted January 29, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Yes thats the same cruise 10th sept for 14 nights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@Porthole Posted January 29, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Ah we are only going for 7 so will be there for the first week! I am not sure how it works. We visited Venice this year and you have to walk for 5 minutes outside the airport then get a water bus to the Cruise Terminal which takes about 2 hours as it is quite slow and it is the last stop.

Bren99 Posted January 29, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Ahh we've booked a private transfer so fully expect to have to cart our own luggage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianI Posted January 29, 2014 #6 Share Posted January 29, 2014 As this will be the first season of Ventura fly cruises, nobody really knows how this will be handled. However, I would expect that on dedicated P&O charter flights the luggage will be transferred direct to your cabin. We will only know for sure when the first cruise has been completed.

Bren99 Posted January 29, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted January 29, 2014 We are not on a P&O charter flight, our package has been put together by Majestic Cruises so its a Jet2 flight from Manchester that gets in at 11am, with private transfers included.

@Porthole Posted January 29, 2014 #8 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Yes i would assume P&O will handle all luggage. May be worth giving them a ring. Can't wait to go, hoping the time goes quickly!

Bren99 Posted January 29, 2014 Author #9 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I see you've started a Roll Call for the cruise porthole, hopefully more people will join it before we sail. What flights are you on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@Porthole Posted January 29, 2014 #10 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Yes I have done, I hope so too. Our flight is shown below. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@Porthole Posted January 29, 2014 #11 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Sorry that was the return. Here is the arrival flight. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bren99 Posted January 29, 2014 Author #12 Share Posted January 29, 2014 We are flying from Manchester on the 7:30 flight so probably arriving a few minutes apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@Porthole Posted January 29, 2014 #13 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Ah okay. I'm sure these next few months will fly by. It's a shame there isn't a drink package on P&O. I would like to fully relax not having to check the onboard account every day. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bren99 Posted January 29, 2014 Author #14 Share Posted January 29, 2014 We are off to Barbados joining Azura in 9 days time so have that to look forward to first. P&O do have wine packages that you can buy, but I know what you mean an upgrade to completely all inclusive would be good. I've given up checking every day and just know that I'll have a 6 -700 pound bill to pay at the end of a 2 week cruise, once you've resigned yourself to that its no problem. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@Porthole Posted January 29, 2014 #15 Share Posted January 29, 2014 True. Being from Bristol I love my cider. Shame that's more expensive as I don't really like beer/wine/coffee/tea. Very nice, have a good time. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
