Hello, Wot? No hunny?? Regards, Cublet

Hello, I see, so this was an option in the cruise planner or on the excursions page(s) that is why I could not see it on the X websites. I think this is emphasising the extra 'benefits' now given with the old (food) taken as read. I also think, not for the first time, the agents in Guatemala are talking rubbish. One thing I did find where there is a contradiction is that items/services could be bought during your extra time using your credit card on the day and did not have to be booked and prepaid before the cruises ended. Regards, Cublet

Hello, I go back to my post of 11 hours ago and raise the question or clarification of "They changed the offer quite recently and in the description on the app or on the website they don't mention the food option." I have searched the main Celebrity site and Celebrity Blog site and can't find anything 'recent' other than that posted on P1. Can you post that to which you are referring? Regards, Cublet

Hello, Can you expand upon the lines: "I noticed some changes to this program, compared to a couple of months ago" as I cannot see anything recent from X? Everything I can see includes using the normal eateries. And as SAAB 4444 said "how would they know?" Regards, Cublet

Hello, No, you cannot sleep in. Normal surrender of cabin at approx 8.30 still applies (depending on disembarkation port). Regards, Cublet

Hello, To be honest, I would prefer some 'same old, same old' to the nothingness we've got in 2025 on Independence. Regards, Cublet

Hello, Operational reasons also includes 'we've had a better idea'. Virtuosa in September 2025 has had 3 & 4 night cruises replaced with 7 night itineraries. Regards, Cublet

This cruise has been cancelled by MSC.

Hello, My maths says 2.5 vouchers as 2.5 * 40 = 100. But then pigs might also fly. Regards, Cublet

Hello, The 'With Drinks' offer at the time of booking is for the 'Premium Extra' package: https://www.msccruises.co.uk/on-board/dining-drinks/drinks-packages Regards, Cublet

Hello, I've seen them worn around the pool. The weight of them does cause the top half of a bikini to reveal rather more than it should. I only wear my pin badge on formal nights. Regards, Cublet

Hello, One of my bookings on Virtuosa is back on sale on Virtuosa (including my previously booked cabin). The bad news is the price at which I booked, £2.3k, is now £4.9k. I can't decide whether they think I'm an idiot or hope that I am. Regards, Cublet

Hello, For RCI & X it's for cruises embarking after 5th June. But given they have only allowed themselves a week to sort it out, I'm not holding my breath. Corporal Jones ...."Don't Panic"! Regards, Cublet

Hello, I can assure you that not only is that not a great loss, it may also be to your body's/hair's distinct advantage - were you/your cabin steward be able to locate any! Regards, Cublet

Hello, No-one has added that MSC has cancelled MSC Virtuosa out of Southampton departing in September 2025 so my B2B YC bookings have been cancelled with a generous offer of a refund of deposit! An August departure going into September remains. I am eyeing suspiciously my (consecutive) 4th October booking to see if that follows the others. Regards, Cublet

Hello, Whilst I agree that cartons of milk are available from the WJ, that's only for as long as they have them. On longer cruises, 12D+, they have had to resort to filling carafes or bulk dispensers with milk in WJ. Regards, Cublet

Hello, It was on the Independence out of Southampton and a US table companion said he didn't know what a kettle was. I remember asking 'what do you call the thing you boil water in' but I cannot remember the reply. Regards, Cublet

Hello, MSC has said that they will be showing all the matches. Virtuosa does have a bar called 'Sports Bar' on 16 but (a) I've never seen it in use, and (b) two people and the ship's cat in there and it would be crowded. My money would be in the 'TV Studio & Bar' on 7. Regards, Cublet

Hello, Hardly news, is it? Regards, Cublet

Hello, Thank you for that. Do you have first hand experience of La Locanda? I am wondering if the smell of the pizzeria side of it pervades the drinking (only) side of it? Regards, Cublet

Hello, As the MSC Preziosa doesn't have a Champagne Bar like Virtuosa and Euribia, can anyone with recent experience advise which of that ship's bars offers the best selection of Champagne and other sparkling wines? Cheers! Cublet

Hello, That's why I suggested the Passport Bar as it's one of the few full bars with an espresso machine whilst the Cafe al Bacio is an espresso bar that serves (some) alcohol. I think you'd have better prospects on MSC where almost every bar has an espresso machine. Regards, Cublet

Hello, My money would be on the Passport Bar on Deck 3. Regards, Cublet

Hello, I've never read a dog complaining about not getting the points on a Cunard TA whilst in kennels. Regards, Cublet

Hello, I've been trying to convince RCI of this for months but the pond life that, post covid, have replaced those that knew/understood (and been let go), will not have it. 😢 Regards, Cublet
