Hi everyone,
Our family is leaning towards a first MSC cruise for Christmas break 2024. My wife and I would typically book cruises around October/November, just a month or two prior to the cruise, and therefore we would pay for the entire cruise at that time. This year we were thinking of booking something now and paying the refundable deposit.
I assume, like I've read on other cruise line message boards, that we should watch pricing as it approaches the 90 day full payment date for price adjustments/matching? What happens if say a new special is offered like free drink packages or something like that, does MSC also offer you that if you contact them? Or would you need to do a new booking? Any advice on booking early directly with MSC, versus *****.com or another travel agent? Does that make any difference? On our past cruises we have booked with *****.com or a travel agent, never directly with the cruise line.
Thank you in advance for any feedback!
