Thanks Magsy, lots of info on the site. I was also hoping to get some "personal experiences" from our fellow travellers!!!

linate is small and compact and only 5 or 6 km from the city. malpensa is around 60km from the city
Well this is it everyone! I'm off early in the morning to Pisa to avoid any chance of the Alitalia strikes (and extend my holiday a bit).
Believe it or not I've managed to get everything in 15 kgs (Ryanair don't cater for cruisers luggage) and a small hand luggage.
Thanks to everyone here for helping me make this possible and for the reviews which have got me even more excited than I normally am before going away!
Barb Jean Steve and I will be in touch when we get back so keep the home fires burning'!
Speaking of fires it is going to be 35 degrees in Naples evidently!!!
Phil hope you're on the mend and back on line when we return and Magsy and Allisu special hello and thanks to you two for all the tips
Love to all

I know alli said the train station is only a few minutes taxi ride from the airport but I recall someone else saying that the airport is well away from the town/city.
Tony!
- What I said was:You could ignore the transfer and take the train (3 minute taxi ride from port to Genoa station) to Milan
That's the PORT,not airport!
Don't worry - it get's to us all in the end!The taxi fare to Linate is about €12 -15 or you can take a bus to either airport.

Have a great cruise and enjoy your extended stay in Pisa.
I'm glad you found alternative travel - it means you can enjoy your holiday without any worries the minute you leave home!

You're certaily right Allisu. Now I'm packed my holiday has started already!
By the way, I've lost track of who was asking but Malpensa airport is about 50 miles from Milan centre as is Bergamo. Lanarte is the nearest to the city.

Psychoticpat..............if you only have half the time we did then you`ll still need beta-blockers to calm you down! Have a great time, and don`t worry about the 35 degrees, it was in the mid-high 30`s for our cruise but you can breath better out there!
Alli.............I remember now!
....hey, I am still in the `post-cruise blues` phase so I have an excuse.

That excuse is perfectly acceptable Tony because we know exactly how you feel
Hi
I think i'm back to earth now.Yesterday was spent in the hospital having a prearranged minor op on my knee,which hopefully will take some of the pain away.I didn't even dream about my cruise while under the anaesthetic???? which was really disappointing.
Totally agree that MSC are fantastic although I haven't anything to compare them with. I would give our waiters a few medals for coping with my fussy eating......chips,chips and more chips.Alit came a close second......wheat pasta.sphagetti,fruit..........at least we kept them on their toes.Mind you the amount Kay and Raych put away each meal(duck and lobster ring any bells........2 main courses same menu each!!!!!!!!!!!!)had the poor young men always busy.
Excellent cruise girls Heh!
will pm you soon Magsy ok.

Just thought I would let you all know that I and the other HT'ers are having a great time on our Melody cruise. We are in Ibiza now and boy is it hot! I'll write a review when I get back but as others have said, those who haven't travelled yet will absolutely love it
Glad to hear it is still hot in the Med although I can't complain here. when I get back from the Med, I am staying on the ship going to Scotland, Iceland and Norway! It means packing two cases - one Winter clothes and one Summer!
Have a great time those of you sailing next week. As Tony wrote, go to Ayesha's talk re-leaving the ship that is if you can find the cinema! Personally, I think the ship deserved more than 2 and a half stars.

Hi Tony
Thanks for all your info relating to the airport.
I've checked different websites and they say allow 50 minutes from malpensa to milan. From what you've told me I think I'll be waiting in the airport for about 7 hours. I'll therefore either go to Milan or I'm going to look at what other places are in the area, there seems to be some lakes and small towns closer to the airport. I'll keep trying to obtain as much info as possible then make my decision, it should be made by October.
Thanks again

I just want to wish all those sailing next week an absolutely fabulous time. I'm sure you will all have a ball - we certainly did.
Hi all of you sailing next week can I repeat aslemma's wish that you all have a fabulous time and let us know every single detail when you get back. This forum and all the great posts make waiting to hear when I am going in 2006 almost worthwhile. Carol R
