numberguy Posted August 11, 2019 #1 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Hello everyone, We're on the November 24, 2019, cruise out of Venice to Italy, Greece, and Montenegro on the MSC Magnifica. With the announcement in the press that ships will be transferred for embarkation/disembarkation to other locations in Venice, has anyone heard anything about when the transfer for MSC ships might occur? I know that "by 2020" was mentioned, but just not sure for our cruise. We haven't heard anything directly from the cruise line; we were just wondering if anyone else had. --Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted August 11, 2019 #2 Share Posted August 11, 2019 (edited) Nothing has been decided yet, so far it is still a lot of posturing. I would not worry about it. https://www.thelocal.it/20190810/no-venice-isnt-about-to-ban-cruise-ships-from-its-lagoon EM Edited August 11, 2019 by Essiesmom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidari Posted August 11, 2019 #3 Share Posted August 11, 2019 September was mentioned but nothing moves that fast in Italy, not even in Venice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even September comes that fast. 'Sept' means seven in Latin, but September doesn't come until the 9th month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidari Posted August 11, 2019 #6 Share Posted August 11, 2019 In the ancient Roman calendar, each month had an Ides. In March, May, July, and October, the Ides fell on the 15th day, In every other month, the Ides fell on the 13th day. The word Ides derives from a Latin word, meaning to divide.

Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted August 11, 2019 #7 Share Posted August 11, 2019 And for those that didn't get the fact that my earlier post was a joke, I am aware that September got pushed two months back because Julius and Augustus Caesar had extra months named after them. But none of this diversion changes the fact that 2019 cruises will continue to call on Venice as scheduled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.M.T. Posted August 12, 2019 #8 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Cruise passengers should check with their cruise company to verify what calendar they are using Gregorian or Julian. Don't want to miss the boat do we.🍻 Disclaimer: For all those poltical correct serious folks, this is a joke (or at least an attempt). If you got stressed out, anxeity attacks etc. cancel cruise and check into rehab. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't panicked, but was just wondering what might happen. I'm just waiting to hear from MSC... --Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
