travellovers2 Posted June 22, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 22, 2014 We only found NCL Spirit that stops in Casablanca late December. We would like to go in October. Does anybody know of any other Cruise Line that stops there? Why don't they all go? Not much to see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travellovers2 Posted June 22, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Thank you. I didn't even think about these two, althourgh I am not sure if I want to take Costa and we took MSC once and decided to never again, but they are the only ones that offer the possibility of stopping in Casablanca. Has anyone ever been to Casablanca? Is it worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Globaliser Posted June 25, 2014 #5 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Does anybody know of any other Cruise Line that stops there? Why don't they all go?At a guess, Casablanca's location might make it difficult to work into cruises to popular destinations. Have you tried looking at the lists of ships at http://www.cruisetimetables.com/cruises-to-casablanca-morocco.html? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone ever been to Casablanca? Is it worth it? We decided to do Morocco post cruise and went to Chefchaouen which is about 2 hours from Tangier. Totally amazing! We considered Casablanca but didn't find much that sounded interesting. BTW, just got off the MSC Armonia and it was just fine for a heavy port itinerary. We flew from Milan to Algeciras, Spain for under 100 euro and then a ferry to Morocco. Our cruise was rt Venice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langoustine Posted June 28, 2014 #7 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Have you looked at the repositioning cruises? That's how we got there on the Statendam in 1994, going from Lisbon to Ft. Lauderdale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKBayern Posted June 29, 2014 #8 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Have you looked at the repositioning cruises? That's how we got there on the Statendam in 1994, going from Lisbon to Ft. Lauderdale. Star Clipper and HAL Maasdam stop there on a repo end October. Otherwise, you will have to travel on a European based cruiseline, like MSC, Costa, P&O or Aida.

pris993 Posted July 8, 2014 #9 Share Posted July 8, 2014 We did a Transatlantic cruise a few years ago on HAL, Westerdam, which did the Azores, southern Spain, Casablanca, Gilbrater, ending up in either Barcelona or Rome, can remember the end. We are looking for another cruise line this, politics seems to play a roll.... haven't seen as many recently. We will wait... we prefer to cruise on Princess, HAL, Celebrity and Cunard... have done NCL for the right itinerary and price. My DH lived in Casablance 30+ years ago, when it was under French control. It is not the city he remembers today but still worth seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are worse stops but it doesn't live up to the pre-conception you might have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willing292 Posted July 24, 2014 #13 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Casablanca is the financial centre for Morocco. There is a lot to see and do in the country, but very little in this city. Fez and Marrakech are incredible. Shirley, Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
