Fantasia Sinfonia Splendida Preziosa Virtousa Euriba have been on a few of them a few times, going on Virtousa in July for the 4th time and Euriba for the 3rd time next February

We were on Virtousa this Feb and the ship was not Full, even in May when it was Half term for our schools the ship wasn't full from Southampton, Weather was amazing

We have booked many cruises with MSC and always find great deals on family cabins just recently i realised if we book as soon as the prices are released we get a better deal in price, maybe not Cabin but as a seasoned cruisers we know when the ship will be full and when it wont i.e. we booked guranteed Bella inside cabin for February knowing full well in February school half term the ship is never full, whereas in the Summer we always book balcony as the cruise will be full so we want to make sure we have our balcony cabin if we can was just wondering what others do

Got a great deal on Feb 2025 from Southampton in the school holidays, less than £1000 for four of us am waiting to see if i can get a good price for July/ August 2025 as seen a 14 night cruise that would be ideal

MSC reduce prices drastically if the cruise is not full, my MIL booked in May for a single balcony cabin and got a price for £399 for a week in the Fjords

We are going on this cruise Next week, cant wait we might take some hot chocolate sachets with us as we like a hot chocolate before we go to sleep

We are on that one on the 19th May, not happy it is getting discounted so much as we got a great deal but hoping its not too busy as its just before the school holidays

GTY fare is a guaranteed fare, which means you dont know you cabin until normally 2 weeks before

Where do people find these late deals? we have a cruise booked for the 19th May and it looks like the price is similar to what we booked over a year ago, we are looking for the same time next year and this time i am thinking of leaving it closer to the time of travel

is there a travel agent that shows family prices straight away instead of 2 adults prices? I know MSC always have cheap kids places but never seem to find many with other lines

how do i know what cruises have the free child places? or even the £49 or £99 per child we are a family of four and i saw an 11 days cruise which had kids at £49 per person but a 7 day cruise the week earlier where kids were charged full fare when in the same cabin with parents on the same ship Cheers

Just got an email in regards to this today, a relief considering my two young daughters are not vaccinated and i didnt want to do a COVID test on an 8 and 6 year old my sister went on a cruise from Southampton and they didnt bother with the tests or the certificates as they knew they were dropping them completely tommorow

what is the website address for the Belgian website? I have always wanted to try Yacht club and for £1000 pp might be worth a go

we have booked 3 cruises in school holidays all out of Southampton for a family of 4 in Balcony cabins Each time and in total it has cost about £4,000 for Fantastica Cabins so we have booked our cabin numbers on each cruise as well May Half Term, Week in August and October Half term, no drinks packages yet or parking but for 3 weeks holidays full board you cannot really complain

embarking from the UK travelling to northern Europe are there no restrictions now? do you still need to do a PCR test if unvaxxed? how are the COVID cases currently on MSC and what happens if you get COVID while on board?

I have been on MSC cruises many a time and have got a few booked, just wondered how long is acceptable to wait for a drink from a bar? 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour biggest complaint i see from reviews is the ships are too busy, they are big ships so they will be busy going in and out of the theatre etc but I always still seem to find space

anyone know how big the Double Sofa bed is? we have booked a balcony cabin and its got a double sofa bed

just booked the cruises, will add the Drinks packages but thought some cruise lines have sales on the packages every now and then

Wonder when the rest of the world is going to catch up and start letting unvaccinated guests travel? I am wondering mainly Europe as normally soon to follow the US in changing the rules

Have booked three cruise's for 2023/ 2024 and was wondering do MSC have Sales on their drinks Packages? I last cruised before the pandemic and can't remember

With the new relaxing of vaccination requirements for USA travellers when do we think that is going to happen for cruise's departing UK and Europe?

are there any cruises you can travel on without being vaccinated at the moment from the UK? i can see Fred Olsen have relaxed the mask mandates on their cruises but nothing in regards to unvaccinated cruising
