Pet Posted June 25, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 25, 2022 We have a family cruise booked on MSC Megalvinia next month sailing from Barcelona with flight on BA from LHR arranged by MSC. Some key staff working for BA have voted for strike action next month but have not yet fixed a date or duration. If the strike goes ahead on the day we are due to depart (or indeed arrive back in the UK) does anyone know if MSC arrange alternatives, perhaps involving another airline, airport or even having to pick up the ship at the next available port and how do we get round the rule that a negative Convid test must be taken no more than 48 hours before embarkation? We have already had this cruise cancelled three times for obvious reasons in the past three years and are using the FCC that MSC have given. However, if we don't sail this summer both the grandchildren will be over child price age and I doubt that MSC compensate for that for any future cruise certificate. Appreciate this is hypothetical at the moment but perhaps others have experienced similar issues recently! Many thanks Pet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexddd Posted June 25, 2022 #2 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Meraviglia unless they cut the Meraviglia and Divinia in half and combined halves from each ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmas gran Posted June 25, 2022 #3 Share Posted June 25, 2022 You need to ask MSC your question or your travel agent (a lot of the posters here are American and will not be aware of BA proposed strikes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mscdivina2016 Posted June 25, 2022 #4 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Travel insurance claim. You might want to book a refundable fare and cancel an hour before if your flight happens. Insurance will pay new flights. If you did not buy insurance already, then you will not be able to do that then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcook Posted June 25, 2022 #5 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Keep in mind threatened transit strikes in Europe are reasonably common. They often settle, or have given enough advance notice that contingency plans are in place. I haven’t a clue what MSC will do for you if there is a disruptive strike occurs in your dates. But I wouldn’t worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
