Usually at Horizon dock. Hotels closest have been listed above 🙂

In all honesty I’d travel the day beforehand. We live about 2 1/2 hours away by car and always stay the night before.

The Virtuosa leaves Southampton on the 27th October 2023 for Dubai where she will spend the winter months. The Euribia then homeports in Southampton and does the Winter/Christmas Market cruises.

Thank you. I’ll investigate further but that’s really helpful as a starting place to look.

No you can’t I’m afraid. You are free to join them in any other bar on the ship though.

Hiya Does anyone remember when MSC started the one free cruise move? Our TA says MSC told him that we booked before the free change was allowed but I’m not convinced by that explanation. Thanks

If you want to use WiFi on both devices then you'll need a two device package. You can't swap devices once you've registered one.

Four years ago I booked a Royal Caribbean cruise from Southampton on the Independence of the Seas...two weeks after booking they decided to pull Indy from Southampton and put Anthem of the Seas there instead and double the prices. My two choices were a refund or pay the increased price. All cruise lines are as bad as each other.

We've never found the Aurea discounted drinks package price either...it may be something that either your TA or MSC would be able to add over the phone rather than online. We have sailed both Aurea and Fantastica with MSC. Cabin placement seems to be hit and miss, some of the Aurea locations suck and some of the Fantastica locations should be more expensive! My advice would be to book based on location or based on your need for Anytime Dining, the private sundeck access and having a Spa facilities pass which are the main draws to the Aurea package. If you aren't going to use them, or think they are worth 1500 more to you then I think you'd be better off with a Fantastica Balcony.

Thank you. I've got the letter from them with the details of who is covered plus the Covid information. Hopefully that is sufficient. We sail on the 25th June so I'll update if we get on successfully with it 😂

Did you use the Barclays Bank one for a cruise with MSC? If so do you mind telling me what you took as proof? Thank you

Thank you all so much. At least I know not to expect much and anything else is a bonus 😂

Hi, Has anyone used the exclusive Aurea sundeck on the MSC Virtuosa? Just wondered what to expect? Is there a bar there? Or someone for drinks service? Any food at all? Thanks Johnny 👍

Have a wonderful time. We are on her in June after two cruises on her last year from Southampton. Looking forward to following along with your cruise!

Does anyone have a recent picture of the MSC Flutes that are given with some pre paid packages?

I don't think you can use the free Diamond meal for the Teppanyaki restaurant? Pleas let me know if I'm wrong...it's the only restaurant we haven't eaten in on the Virtuosa!

I've generally found most add ons to be approximately 10/15% more expensive to buy onboard.
