Dubai Disembarking Experiences Please

[hamrag]

Do MSC allow 'floating' disembarkation times in Dubai? Our (independent) flight is in the early hours of the day following disembark, and the ship leaves at 22.00 for Abu Dhabi. Ideally we would stay on board for as long as possible, even as late as 19.00 before decanting to the airport. 

 

We are booked YC, and have done a very late embark a couple of times in the Med and are looking for others experience in Dubai. TIA.

Thank you. Was that to fit with flight timings i.e. could you have stayed later than that?

Yes it fit with flight to LGW, I believe some had "middle of the night" flights around 2/3 am and left about midnight when we were overnight in Dubai.

 

As an aside have you seen the Premium economy on Emirates A380 it looks very good., comparable to some Business class

Thanks, most helpful. And also for the PE flights recommendation, will have a look because that's our Virgin Atlantic choice when we long haul west.

 

Your responses are much appreciated. 🙂
