Very doable, not least as trains go from Waterloo. 

Unless they are on strike the day you are sailing. At the moment,they have to give 2 weeks notice, but that may be too late if all the Southampton hotels are booked up.

I’m in the UK. Earlier this morning I logged onto my booking and it showed another couple. Their passport details and photos were the as well as credit card details.  That is definitely a data breach and I am now worried who has seen my details.

 

That brings a whole new perspective on this.

Ever thought about being a detective, I couldn't find anything like that.

t I am still concerned about my PII being exposed, especially my passport info.

I couldn't see anyone elses passport info or other data except names & Booking Reference. You would still need DOB to access their booking when the site returns, so I don't think there is any actual Data Breach, just more concerned if someone could modify my booking or flights.

Let’s hope you haven’t screwed up their booking! Very naughty to even try!

I exited the page without changes. The same as I do on my booking when checking flight prices.

Cannot login now on UK Website, Looks like they have stopped access until the problem is fixed.

I can go to someone elses booking and change their flights.

  Uber etc would be great but requires data and roaming data is expensive.  I could not log into the wifi in the arrival terminal.

Have you thought about an E-Sim for your phone, this gives you Data when in USA.

I thought I’d reach out to Jiffy Jeff for our needs in October.  There are only two of us and I was quoted $197 from Miami Airport to a hotel on las Olas in Ft Lauderdale.  Uber looks like it is our best bet.  Train would be ideal but my Mom is 83 and would be too much with luggage.

Jiffy Jeff have also quoted me $200 from MIA to Hyatt Place FLL. 

I booked an Excursion yesterday before the 'sale' ended for $94.95.

Looking today, the excursion lists the price from $94.95, but when you go to the details and try to add it, the price is $114.95 for Adults, $99.95 for Children. So, no idea where the from $94.95 price is coming from. 

This is the same for any excursions, the initial price listed is not what the actual price is when you go to the excursion details.

We are flying into Miami in December from UK, so will either take an Uber or Train to FLL Airport and then Taxi to our FLL Hotel. 

As long as the Uber is under $60, that is what I would prefer.

Do you have to be Elite or Paid in full?  I keep getting You are not currently able to make dining reservations..... you have to be paid in full, platinum or elite  etc.

 

I had all my dining reservations done for all upcoming  cruises which of course got cancelled like everyone else but I can't get past this to even attempt to make any reservations.  I'm trying to do it for the closest cruise which is Sapphire Nov 3  2024

 

Any insight??

I am not paid in full for my Emerald Cruise in December but I have managed to book all my dining on the Web Version of the App

If I go to dining on the Phone App, it tells me I can't book until fully paid.

Must be different for UK bookings as I can go back to december 10th for my cruise on 30th December, then up until end of January after my cruise ends on 11th January 2025.

We will be in Ocho Rios also on 9th January on Emerald Princess. My 60th Birthday is  on 19th January.

Let me know if you find somewhere and we may join you for a Party😀.

We used them for the Flam Railway. 

MSC Changed our ports around so I had to Cancel & rebook. I received a full refund for the cancelled trip. 

Other people on our cruise did manage to contact them and they just switched the bookings without any issue.

yeap, at least one other adult must have the same package, unless you move into a cabin of your own. If you convince the other adult to have it, have you bumped up to the second name on the list, so that you and the first person have the Plus, and the third doesn't.

It would be cheaper for him to pay for 2 Packages than move into a room on his own.

I have read that there are Strikes in the Port of Le Havre.

Just looking at some 2026 cruises and noticed deposits are now refundable up until final payment date.

This is new for us in UK.

About time we got treated the same as our friends on the other side of the Pond😀

It looks to me like someone at MSC UK typed in the wrong price for the fare without drinks.   If you want to take advantage I would recommend booking sooner rather than later.  

 

 

I don't think its an error as all levels of rooms are discounted, a suite is only £1,009.

Exactly why it is looking appealing to me. I think i'll book the base fare anyhow. And im thinking i'll add the drinks package to my booking via my MSC account. I can't imagine it will be £900 at that point.

That will be interesting to see the price after booking. From experience, my only MSC Cruise was £30pppn when I booked, but to add after was around £65 pppn. Once onboard, it was £85 pppn.

Looking at this further, it is not the drinks package that is increased, they have massively discounted the package without the drinks. from £1009 to £409. The original price difference was only £300, so £42 pppn.

For someone that doesn't drink, this is a very cheap cruise especially over the new year holiday.

MSC Fantasia departing 30/12/24. I actually calculated the drinks package wrongly and its actually £128pppn. Which is shocking. No way would i pay £900 more for a drinks package.

They must be expecting you to drink a lot at that price.

Same cruise on 2nd dec is £35 pppn.

Interestingly, if you board the same cruise at either of the 2 previous ports it is only 35/42 pppn.

I would call MSC and see if the price is a mistake, otherwise I would definately be paying as I go.

For the sailing I'm looking at it is about £85pppn. That certainly isnt value for me and what i will likely drink.

Wow, that is high. Is that through a TA? I know there are some UK TA's that charge the onboard price.

Which sailing is this for?

If you are in UK, Usually the drinks package is cheaper to add with your booking and it is usually around £35 per day. For a Xmas 2024 Cruise from Barcelona it is Currently £40 per day, so it does increase slightly for a Holiday sailing.

If you add after booking it will be conciderably higher.

Both Items can be purchased via your Cruise personaliser on the website when you login to your booking.

Spirits are in the Extras tab  , then go to Princess Wines and Spirits.

Water is in the Beverages Tab, scroll down past the various packages and the water package is the last one.
