Best way is to do before departure: you can find upgrade options under your booking For pricing, it depends on the specific ship and cruise length.But consider ~12€/day from Easy to Easy Plus

It seems that I’m not the only one confused here as you had to clarify few times about what you got already and what you are looking for

I honestly don’t understand the point here you weren’t able to get on the ship, hence travel had been fully refunded. as a goodwill gesture you were promised a 50% FCC that will eventually come. bear in mind that MSC wasn’t at fault as it was Spanish authority to block the ship from leaving as it turned out that few passengers from South America had fake visas now, insurance paid 60% of your expenses and are you still looking to get the other 40% fully covered? Like a completely free holiday?

@alserrod Apologies if I take the liberty to correct you. The first image was taken from the terrace of Fondaco dei Tedeschi, a mall located right next to the Rialto Bridge. While it’s recommended to book in advance a preferred time slot, the terrace is accessible to all visitors and, quite opposite to your statement, it tends to be crowded with fast-paced guided tours, given its free accessibility and stunning views over Venice. Seeing an ambulance-boat or a fire-fighters boat speeding through Canal Grande is merely coincidental. Regarding the last image, it features Palazzo Soranzo dell'Angelo, which can be easily accessed via the side road like every other in Venice. The fact that its main entrance faces the water does not imply it's the sole point of entry. Back on topic, Venice Venice offers a plethora of attractions to explore. Whether to experience a gondola ride or to opt out is entirely subjective and based on individual preferences. @bob10173 getting on and off gondola isn’t too difficult. If you are tight on time I’d suggest you to go to the Jewish Quarter: it’s a fast (15 minutes) and easy walk from Piazzale Roma and you can find few gondolas there.

Sorry. I misunderstood your request. Safe cruise

Starting a trip with hopes of a free upgrade seems like setting yourself up for disappointment. With a 99% likelihood that it won't materialize, you're better off settling into your original plans from the get-go.

I find the original poster's reaction to be quite exaggerated, but I do agree with him on the topic of pasta. I'm 100% Italian, living in Italy, and my wife loves spaghetti alle vongole, a dish she regularly order at restaurants, whether by the seaside or not. Unfortunately, we once received a subpar version of the dish at a place near Lake Como, which turned out to be nothing more than a tourist trap. That looked exactly like the one in the picture above GialloZafferano is undoubtedly the number one website for recipes used by Italians. You can browse through various recipes there, but trust me, no one here would consider a single clam (vongola) to be acceptable as it's merely a garnish Here link to recipes

I’ve never sailed MSC (I’ll do soon) but from my research some weeks ago there’s no baby sitting service for kids younger than 3yo. you, as a parent, can access the baby-club with your kid and need to stay there too

while I find awkward for people willing to escalate to a CEO for whatever issue, in this case cruise line it’s obviously not at fault for another passenger to take someone else luggage. but cruise line is at fault if, after collecting back the luggage, failed to deliver it back to the owner.

Guess this can be interesting to some folks here

I guess it’s actually too late 🤪

Thank you @ConnieTact for this great live report! I’ve never cruised myself but I’ve just booked my very first trip on World Europa for this summer. Even I won’t be in YC as during peak season prices are way above my budget, I appreciate a lot your inputs. I’m quite disappointed by the wine selection though: except the barbaresco you previously posted, pretty much every wine you were offered it’s pretty standard (or even low) quality: at least here in italy you could easily find those bottle in supermarkets for less than 10€ I guess we will be offered Tavernello down in the steerage 😒 food seems to be quite another issue as I’ve read you sent back quite some dishes. While I can see in YC they will try to fix it as nicely and quickly as possible, again I’m a bit worried about what will be going on on lower decks. Again, thanks for bringing us along with you and Mr. CT
