台大各期校友會(NTUG) 2019加勒比海遊輪之旅

**** Updates on 6/10/2019: US Government travel ban to Cuba ****

As of 6/10/2019 - according to MSC website, the itinerary has been updated by removing Havana, Cuba. MSC has replaced Havana with Key West, US.

Because of this change, MSC has provided new incentive to all passengers, by offering $400 on-board credit per stateroom or cabin. (遊輪公司提供每一間船艙四百美金信用點數) Jennifer, Travel Agent, 巳和船公司聯絡上，confirm 400元的船上點數沒有用完是可以退還的 .

Updates from MSC Cruise Company: June 6, 2019 at 2:00pm EST:

In connection with the U.S. Administration changes to regulations regarding travel to Cuba announced June 4, which eliminate as of June 5, the prior authorization permitting cruise ships to travel from the U.S. to Cuba, MSC Cruises will modify effective immediately all its cruise itineraries previously scheduled to call that country.

Due to these substantial changes in U.S. law and regulation, MSC Armonia is no longer authorized to call the port of Havana, Cuba, as part of her current Caribbean sailings. The alternative ports of either Key West, Florida; Costa Maya, Mexico; George Town, Cayman Islands; or Cozumel, Mexico will replace Havana, Cuba. The remainder of MSC Armonia’s itinerary will remain as originally planned.

Guests currently on board MSC Armonia and their travel agents have already been informed and will be given:

• $400 USD per stateroom as onboard credit (https://www.msccruisesusa.com/en-us/About-MSC/News/MSC-Cruises-Cuba-Update.aspx )

Guests on future MSC Armonia sailings that were scheduled to visit Cuba will be offered one of the following:

• The possibility to change ship and itinerary. MSC Cruises will waive fees and transfer already paid funds to the new booking*
• If the guest chooses to cancel the cruise completely, the normal cancellation policy will apply
• $400 USD per stateroom as onboard credit if they choose to remain on their currently booked sailing on MSC Armonia. If this credit is not fully used during the cruise, MSC Cruises will refund the difference upon check-out from the ship. Any shore excursions in Havana that were pre-purchased before the cruise, or which are included in the ticket, will be automatically refunded to the Guest’s onboard account

十月十四日上船時間最早可以在 11:30-12:00 之間，但仍然要看當天上午下船的真實狀況而定。buffet meals 會在上船當天最早 11:30AM 開放，下船當天最早上午六點開放。

在五月初，Jennifer去了一次MSC招待的遊輪介紹之旅。她前一天，先飛到Fort Lauderdale。第二天早上9:53 離開 Fort Lauderdale 機場酒店，經 95 南坐 Uber 到邁阿密 Terminal F 碼頭，費用 $26.80 元。估計 10:25 到，車程時間半小時。根據酒店櫃台小姐說，仍是 Uber 或 Lift 最便宜方便。因為有些計程車故意不用 meter, 到了才説價格。

十月二十一日回程，最早離船時間早上七點，MSC 自七點半每半小時有車到 Miami 及 FLL 機場（15 分鐘/30分鐘）價格每人 $15/25元。請注意，MSC的價錢是算人頭，Uber 或 Lift是算一整量車。
