How long until your next MSC cruise??

A little far out but we are still excited!!

three weeks!

As my niece would say "I'm jelly"

Possibly a long long time! Australia wins next year, at least that holiday will not get devalued unlike former Loyal cruisers of msc.

Yes Dave Australia wins hands down over MSC for sure and with GBP being strong against AUD, what's not to like. Did it last year and leave again in 9 days.

Zero MSC cruises this year, and only one last year after taking 2-4 per year for 10 years.

Next one is April, but really just disillusioned with all the recent changes, anti solo behaviour, anti loyal guests etc. There are loads of great ways to spend your money on a holiday. msc used to be one of my first. Considerations, but no longer.

I have my first MSC cruise in 32 days and another one in 79 days!

32 days for us too getting excited

May next year doing back to back with Fantasia and Orchestra after during 3 weeks in the UK to catch up with family.

and a quote from you on another thread

" I have 3 booked over the next 2 years, 2 booked in the last week of my 20% discount. If my April repo cruise is like your recent one, I probably won't bother at all with the other 2."

Likewise I have 3 more, booked in the dying days of the 20% discount.

Including the same one as you in April and one on MERAVIGLIA in Autumn 2017.(booked 26 months in advance and before the ship's keel was laid)

PS

AmoMondo, there is a little bear who can't wait to meet his new carer in April.

I have a B2B with the first week in 32 days (December 5th). I have also booked November 2016, 10 night to Panama on Divina. I'm sure I'll be booking one on one of the new ships to.

My first taste of MSC begins in 32 days with the above posters. :D DH and I were booked on the new NCL Escape in the Haven on the same date, (Dec 5), but switched after all the changes NCL shoved down everyone's throat in a very short period of time. Devaluation indeed. :mad: I was so ticked that I jumped ship. And I am quite certain the CEO took notice. ;) So I completely understand MSC cruisers being unhappy with the current downgrades but I look forward to trying the YC on Divina for the first time. :cool:

Cheers,

Ali

Ali I'm also an NCL defector, it's just to much money for so little over there. Looking forward to your perspective on the Divina YC

Thank you, JB, I look forward to giving it to you! :)

I've been popping in on the NCL Escape thread from time to time for updates because I've already invested so much time there but I just can't get excited about that claustrophobic Haven. We sailed on the BA in one of the large rear Haven balconies last year and never once ate in the restaurant. It was just tooooo far away. I can't wait to live 95% of my cruise in the Top Sail Lounge, One Pool Bar/Sun Deck, or Le Muse. Woooo hoooo!!!! :eek::p:D

Not to rain on your excitement but you do know le Muse is at the rear or the vessel right?

3 months for Msc Fantasia and 2 years for Msc Maraviglia, lol

6 months for the Preziosa and 2 years for the Meraviglia. :rolleyes:

I do know that, but at least it's on the same deck. :)

Cancelled my April cruise on Fantasia :o:o (((( No Europe for us next year .Waiting for new ship to cruise Caribbean . Next year we will try Princess in FEb.

I do know that, but at least it's on the same deck. :)

Good I didn't want you to be let down

I'm very much looking forward o meeting my little bear and the very kind person who acquired him for me!

Pete I'm sure we will manage to enjoy our April repo regardless. My loyalty to MSC has pretty much disappeared though.

Mine went when they devalued loyal customers and the Black card and then added insult to injury by offering Black card and other benefits to people who had never sailed with them .... :mad:

Although not booked yet, it looks like we will try to cruise in April on the Preziosa again.

Agree .It was a very stupid thing to do by management. :mad:

19 days to go. Orchestra - Genoa to Caribbean. Packing stated

1st January on Preziosa for us and we have got a free upgrade! So pleased :)

This will be our 3rd time with MSC
