Would you mind expanding on this a bit? We are scheduled to be in the YC on Seaview in October. As we have never sailed MSC, I'm gathering as much info as possible before I make final payment in 2 weeks. TIA

Agree there should be a buffer between quarantine cabins and the rest of the passengers. I’m sorry you and your family got sick. Hopefully your symptoms will subside quickly. we plan to be on Seashore in October. Will definitely take some extra precautions to avoid Covid as much as possible. As you say, one can pick it up anywhere. Seems like it’s here to stay. Even before Covid, I came home from cruising with some sort of bug nearly 50% of the time. Wishing you and your family a speedy recovery.

Are MSC testing passengers throughout the cruise? I don't know the answer to your question but wanted to piggyback because I just booked a 7 night cruise and it was my understanding that there was no required testing unless on a back2back. Hopefully someone knows the answer to both our questions.

Great information for a first timer! Thank you. We will be on Seashore in October in the Yacht Club as well. A few questions, if I may... 1. When you say first round of the mini-fridge was free and anything subsequent to that has a charge...was wondering about other contents such as beers or sodas. Are these items in there as well? And how does this work? Does the room attendant refill consumed items immediately or do they just let the mini fridge empty out before refilling? I guess what I'm really asking is how did you keep track of your first round items to avoid getting charged? Can I just request that the fridge not be refilled? Maybe I'm just over thinking it... 2. On Celebrity there is Cafe Al Bacio where you can get pastry and specialty coffee. Pastry is complimentary but the coffees are an upcharge unless you have a drinks package. Is there a place like this on Seashore? Glad to know that you pay full price for the drink if it goes over $15. I'm used to just paying the difference...wow. Again, thank you!

Yes, I believe so as it is still listed as a perk on their website. But I'm not sure how this would work. So if I get a status match but I've already made final payment, with they give me 5% in an OBC? or refund? Either way it would amount to approximately $250, which is nice...if that's how it works.

Following! We are on this ship in late October. 108 days to go. Am eager for your review as it will be our first MSC experience. We’ve booked the yacht club so probably won’t be bidding on an upgrade. question: are you going to do the status match? I looked at the Voyager Club tiers and rewards but didn’t see much that excited me. Perhaps I’ve missed something and others can chime in on the perks.
