How quick we can get out of the ship?

[CruiseLand]

Hello,

 

 

Cruise with Bellissima Disembarkation st at 8 am at Genoa. Does MSC normally on time with departure time? Do you think I can make to the train station Genoa P Principe at 8:30? I am thinking to go to Pisa from there.

If you are referring to disembarking at the end of your cruise, then if the ship is scheduled to arrive at 8am it will be impossible to be at the train station for 8.30am unless you are the Captains' partner!

Thank you & I wish I am a captains partner. The train actually 8:51

Just thought someone know how quick we can get out of the ship. I had never sailed with MSC. 

Never mind. If I make it I make it if not is OK.

That extra 21 minutes could make all the difference.....

Firstly, Genoa is a nightmare port and highly disorganised.

Secondly, the arrival time listed is guideline only.

Thirdly, no matter when the ship docks no one can disembark until the local authorities clear the ship.

Fourthly, the only way you have a chance is to retain all your luggage until you disembark and there are many others doing the same thing.....and most requiring taxis when they exit the cruiseport.

 

You will need every one of those variables to work in your favour, so the chances are low indeed.
