Crzyfrk62 Posted June 26, 2016 #1 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Just curious if anyone knows or has thoughts on how Brexit will effect MSC cruises. I thought of doing the run that starts in South Hampton because I've never been, I'm American. Now I'm not sure if or when I will go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love2Cruz2015 Posted June 26, 2016 #2 Share Posted June 26, 2016 From what everyone says it will be to our benefit, the pound will fall and it will be a good time to visit for Americans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidari Posted June 26, 2016 #4 Share Posted June 26, 2016 I think you mean Southampton, short term there will be no issues and the £ has begun to claw back losses, currencies are volatile at the best of times and the last thing the markets hate is uncertainty.

kerryincork Posted June 27, 2016 #5 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Also Britain would be counted as a foreign port outside the EU so I assume that duty free status would come in to play so should become tax free on board. So British Isles cruises (Ireland and UK) would qualify for duty free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crzyfrk62 Posted June 27, 2016 Author #6 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Aaaahhhhh good to know, just wanted to make sure. I actually heard on our news this morning now would be a good time to travel to the UK. Yes I meant Southampton- auto correct crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1fifthavenue Posted June 27, 2016 #7 Share Posted June 27, 2016 There should be no real difference for 2 years. None of us know what will happen yet - there may be some sort of customs union... hey, we may not even leave as the referendum was just advisory, then there's the Scotland issue. There's a long way to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a long way to goI agree, there can be no changes in the near future, (other than changes in costs due to exchange rates), as article 50 has not yet been triggered. Even when it has, it will be 2 years before the UK leaves the EU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
