We have booked our first cruise with MSC and based on our Elite Plus status with Celebrity we were given MSC Black.

My question is about the 5% discount. Is that given after our booking and prior to our final payment?

Is there a technical sheet for Musica ?

Thanks

I would try transferring to a TA. Especially with a nice OBC credit available. Worst that can happen is they say no.

Good luck.

I am looking for those who usually book AQU class, who have been in BLU recently, and if so, whether they felt the food and service was as good as it has been in the past?

 

I am wondering if the staff from BLU on most ships have now been reassigned to the new Suite restaurant, Luminae, and if service in BLU will suffer?

 

We like dining in BLU for the peaceful atmosphere, good food and service, and have never had to wait and have never been given a beeper.

 

But I am wondering if the staff who have made this dining so special have now been moved to Luminae, and if BLU dining (including breakfast) has changed and/or been dumbed down.

 

Also, we have yet to experience BLU on an M class ship but will be on Millennium later this year. If it is just a section of the MDR, won't it be noisy if no walls have been put up?

 

Thanks.

Hi there. We were on the Millenium on b2b from Hong Kong to Shanghai and Shanghai to Vancouver. We were Aqua and ate in Blu almost every night and every meal was excellent.

See you on the Millenium next spring.

We just went thru all of this with Celebrity. 2 years ago we booked a cruise while on Celebrity and were given some perks and asked what agent we would like to go with. We gave them the name of the travel agent that had booked the cruise we were on. We had been told that if perks come up thru a travel agent we would still be able to get them. ? not sure what happened but didn't end up with any perks? Spoke to different customer service reps and did not get any satisfaction.

Last month (April 2014) we were on another cruise with Celebrity which we booked with an online agent and we were given 3 perks, gratuities, OBC and $ toward a hotel stay which worked out perfect. While on that cruise and wanted to re-book the Asia cruise we had to cancel. The Celebrity rep we sat down with was awesome. She helped with picking out our cruises ( 2 - 17 day cruises) and they were having their perks 1,2,3. We got an awesome price, classic beverage package and OBC for the first 17 day cruise, then on the 2nd cruise (which was back to back) we got an awesome price with OBC. The perks 1,2,3 are different for every cruise. The second cruise we booked is a re-positioning cruise from Asia to Vancouver and we were only given OBC but the price was very reasonable. We were happy with what we booked with Celebrity. Our rep told us we had 60 days to assign an agent and if we didn't assign one then Celebrity would keep the booking. We were told if we found an agent offering some perks, we would be able to keep what Celebrity gave us and what the travel agent was giving us. WOW, who can beat that. Last week we found our cruises online with a travel agent giving some nice OBC credits on both cruises. After several calls to Celebrity and back to the travel agent, confirmed and reconfirmed we would keep the perks Celebrity was giving us and the o n board credits the travel agent was giving us, we assigned the T.A. WOW, it worked. Doing the happy dance and looking forward to 2 - 17 Asia cruises starting out of Hong Kong April 2015.
