Understood Flatbush flyer and many thanks for your help. Meanwhile will keep in contact with our TA and Regent cruises. Our flight arrives in JFK at 2:40 pm and our flight to Miami departs at 5:25pm (Both at terminal 4) . I note on the Delta website there is another delta flight departing for Miami at 7:45 pm. I am surprised they haven't booked us on that flight just to give us more leeway. Our TA says if we missed our connecting flight they would prob arrange to try & get us on this one. Failing that they would have to put us up in an airport hotel at JFK and fly us out early morning to Miami either with Delta or another airline to meet our cruise ship. Obviously we would rather not have all this hassle if possible.

The deal we got with Regent Seven Seas cruises from the UK to Miami included return business class flights where we have already reserved our seats on all flights with Delta. It's on a new ship Grandeur of the seas. This includes pre night hotel in Miami, great cabin , drinks package wifi, all excursions, gratuities etc The actual price of business class flights for both of us is about the same total as we payed for the whole package!🤔 so we are definitely not giving that up. Probably never get a deal like it again. TA said it's Regents responsibility as a package holiday to get us there & back if anything goes wrong it's them that have to sort it out. It's all in the t&c's.

Both flights with Delta and arriving and departing at terminal 4 Spoke to TA today and she doesnt seem duly worried. Regent cruises arranged the flights with Delta who allocated them as we are staying in a hotel in miami for 1 night pre cruise. It is Delta one class not sure if that makes any difference or not

My wife & I are flying from Edinburgh to Miami via New York with delta airlines on a regent cruise in November. I noticed the we have 2 hrs 45 mins to change over at JFK. to Miami flight Anyone had recent experience flying from UK if this should be enough time to clear passport control . The flights have been arranged by Regent Cruises

29 pages too much to read through although i have read some. Was this group of passengers altogether on a private excursion. What was the name of the company running the excursion What was the reason given that they werent back by 3pm Was it the tours fault or the passengers How late were they after 3pm was it minutes or hours. There are hundreds of passengers do there own thing and also go on private excursions throughout the world on cruises, they seem to be getting a hard time so can i assume it was something to do with them that they were late.

We do use a TA ??

Understand your viewpoint, however we have been on a few Celebrity cruises but never tried YC on MSC so its time to take the plunge and give it a go, we may may regret it or may be converted who knows?

No not retreat but a V1 prime veranda grade cabin with a drinks pckage incl.

Some good positive replies which is swaying us to MSC. The other cruise we are looking at is a Celebrity cruise which we have done on a few occasions and always enjoyed. Price wise there not much between them altho the celebrity is a 9 night cruise compared to a 7 day with MSC. Normally it would be the Celebrity cruise however we want to give YC a go.

Apologies this should be MSC Divina I enquired about.

Ok thanks I've made a booboo it's MSC Divina,🙂

Thanks for the reply I take it it is much better quality food & service on YC compared to the normal dining experience?

Wife and I have been on many cruises with different cruiselines but only 1 MSC cruise. We thought the ship was lovely but most other things food, entertainment, etc not as good as other cruiselines We have been offered a cruise at a tempting price from our TA on MSC Grandiosa med cruise from Rome later this year with the upgraded yacht club package. Is the food at Le Muse restaurant so much better than the normal main dining room and would members on here particularly recommend the Yacht club experience in General. I have noted the reviews are very poor but maybe not for yacht club experience Thanks for any replies

The TA asked us if we wanted to ask about changing but the only real advantage would be an earlier arrival time in Miami, also would prob be subject to a deviation fee ,& London hotel fee if we decided (as has been advised) to go down a day earlier. An advantage looks like as poster Iprp has stated the customs & passport control will be sorted in New York . (We have a 3 HR layover )and prob less hassle in Miami airport.

Original poster here, TA and myself were convinced it would be Edinburgh , London Heathrow Miami with BA flights but it's not! Flying Edinburgh to New York / Miami in both directions with Delta airlines. Business class to & from New York & 1st class to Miami from New York Don't arrive in Miami till 8:45pm so am I right in assuming it will be about midnight by the time we get to our pre stay Hotel( not known at present time)
