My last MSC cruise they didn't take my bottle of rum. I took it to cabin. Didn't drink it as I wanted it for home but it was not taken. I was shocked. They also let dad keep his small beer.

You can pre purchase stuff up to 2 days before you sail. It's on the site.

No to all. I tried to pre order some water and our TA spent time on phone but they told him no. Very disappointing.

Same thing but eventually I tried it and it worked so just try every so often.

Are the YC daily activities different from the reg ones?

We leave in 11 days. Will the app work work in airplane mode? I don't want any extra charges from my cell company by surprise and I know airplane mode is the best way to do that but trying to figure out how the app will work as I don't purchase internet as I don't really use it on vacation.

Watching videos of TA and others on Seascape now. They mention a water package. Does anyone know anything about that? We don't drink sodas much or alcohol but do drink lots of water as I have a medical condition ( I don't drink tap and it's gotta be sodium free completely) so if anyone knows anything about it, I would appreciate it.

The specialty dinning only shows up on ours for those outside the US so you got to contact msc or your TA for that (we sail in 16 days on Seascape)

Download MSC for me app. Put in your booking # and all your information will show up. CC isn't as active as Facebook. Lots of Seascape groups and they answer fast. You can also go to msc and log in (or sign up if you haven't) to see cruise info ad well. It will tell you boarding time and tickets when they become available and check in area for doing pre boarding stuff. Yes you have to book drink packages for everyone in the cabin if you want 1.

Can you post the different size water bottles and prices? I have to have spring water. I can't do tap with sodium, medical condition.

Love the videos. We are on Dec. 18th! Can't wait!

It showed back up late yesterday so obviously a glitch. Super weird.

Yeah I know. I'm still booked though. Checked my booking from site and app. Not sure why it's not showing under cruises. I would think they would just put sold out on it but whatever.

We don't really drink soda and all. Just want to buy some bottled water. Do they sell cases of it? Not paying 200 pp for non alcohol package when we won't drink the other stuff.

Looks like the site is not working now. Can't get into plan my cruise.

Seascape dec. 18th. The 11th shows up, the 26th shows up

I've been keeping up with our cruise and what is left available as some friends were thinking about booking and because I'm curious as to how full it will be (as its Christmas week kept expecting it to sale out but it didnt) anyways Fri I could do dummy booking on MSC and other TA sites but yesterday it shows unavailable and and is not even coming up under a search on MSC. Thought it was weird. Some on our cruise said yesterday they got notified their YC BIDS were successful. So my question is what happened? Did it all of sudden sale out in less than 24 hrs? Or a glitch on the site? Or maybe they stopped new bookings while they accept bids and shuffle ppl around? Anyone got any clues?

Don't Aurea guests get to order room service without the extra fee? I thought I saw that on there. Anyways I always check what's available even after booking. This AM the only balconies available for 3 ppl or more was Aurea, Bella and Fantastica was sold out. I just checked and there's some back. Just curious as if anyone know if that means ppl canceled (it's after final payment as we are 30 days out) or maybe they accepted some bids and moved ppl? I also saw the Max bid moved up some. Those who actually get their bids accepted do you check and modify your bid when you see that?

Cool. On Seascape in Dec. So once you get to boarding day more stuff pops up in app?

Bid stupid autocorrect

Yeah thats what others have said. They go for the Max mids ppl.

It will tell you the strength of your bid but yeah lowest bid probably won't get it. Did you do a dummy booking to see if any of those cabins are available? Sometimes they let you bid on sold our cabins in case someone cancels last min, in which case you probably won't get it regardless.

Yeah sorry you didn't get it. We got 21 cabins in that Cat on our cruise and the new "black Friday sale" actually makes them a couple hundred more to buy upgrade outright. I would think with a brand new ship they would want to sail at full capacity but who knows what these cruise lines are 🤔.

Not really. I was curious for the cruise we booked and this new "sale" for black Friday actually made it more than what we paid.

Hmm. It's two separate words. Maybe they haven't decided which cabin you are getting so haven't put the cat.
