Ngaire can answer this, I'm sure, but I thought it might be of general interest.

I like to let Radisson do our air arrangements. I don't travel enough to be able to do it on FF points, so I would rather not incur the aggravation and the risk.

So far on our cruises we have done deviations, but only involving early arrival, late departure, i.e., only involving the same gateway cities as the cruise ports.

But thinking about my next cruise (the soon to be named, WAVE). Don't really want to spend time in Monte Carlo (although Nice and Provence is a possibility). I am guessing that rssc would route us through Paris, so can I deviate and stay in Paris for a few days before M-C? Could I deviate further and get them to fly me into Rome instead, and then fly me to Nice the day of the cruise?

Or if I want to do this kind of jumping around, will I have to do my own air?

A deviation in Paris sounds very nice to me, although a few days in Rome would be better.
