So my question is…  what is Pol Acker?  Surely it can’t be as bad as the Wycliffe “champagne” on HAL?

 

Or is it?  Will now google it since my phone won’t allow me to do that in the middle of a post. 🤨

 

Paint stripper comes to mind 🤣

Why didn't you say something? Do you change your sheets every day at home?

It's a long way from the port entrance to the cruise terminal. A taxi is probably better

Yes. So it the Amamzing (sp) evening 

I just got off the Pursuit. They had a very disappointing destination celebration on board. This is a shame as the Azamazing evening was something we were really looking forward to.

Is it a 7day or 14 day plus cruise.If it was over 14 days and there are 2 of you  then that seems worth it (4 speciality restaurant meals = $140, 2 bags of laundry = $80, 25% off full internet package for two=$138 plus a bottle of spirits).Not worth it if it’s for less than 14 days & if you’re solo ( although if one of the aft Verandah plus cabins is available, then that would make a difference - their balconies are great!)

It is for 9 nights 

I got an upgrade confirmation last week for our upcoming Pursuit cruise on 23 March. Veranda to Veranda Plus £160pp. I declined as I don’t think it’s worth the upgrade price.

TUI’s winter 2024 programme on sale from today includes a new river Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan.

Available from November 2024, the Nile cruise packages on TUI Al Horeya include TUI charter flights from London Gatwick and Manchester.

Flights will operate weekly from 7 November till 24 April 2025.

Any idea what time the Azura will arrive at Valletta on 4 May 2023 as I can't seem to find out on their website and can't get through to find out.

Never had any issues at all on Antigua. Let's please see facts & not hearsay!

Same here! I have been loads of times and never had an issue.

I notice that the Silver Shadow arrives in Athens on 17 October 2019 then the next cruise from Athens departs on 22 October 2019. I'd be interested to know what's happening to her between those dates.

Does anyone happen to have a list of included wines and champagnes?

Thanks.

Shame YC isn't on the World cruise ships that would be wonderful! (Not that I could probably afford it!!!)

I've read that YC is offered laundry discounts on the long cruises (eg MSC world cruise).  Not on the regular ones as far as I know. 

I didn't think they had YC on World Cruise ships?

Thanks for your quick reply.

I was looking at the Silver Shadow cruise from Venice to Athens on 10 October 2019 and Silver Spirit Monte Carlo to Venice on 8 October 2019.

I also believe they no longer do full afternoon tea or course by course dining in your suite now? Is that correct?

Hi all,

It will be possibly our first time on Silversea. We've cruised on many cruise lines including our last one in the MSC Yacht Club.

We have two options for cruises but are unsure which ship would be better? We are considering a verandah siute on the Shadow but can only stretch to a Vista suite on the Spirit (even this is more expensive than a verandah on the Shadow). I know the Spirit is more modern but what would you recommend?

Thanks

Chris

Thanks. It's for a TA so may wait to book onboard.

Hi,

Is there any difference between booking the drinks package onboard or in advance?

Thanks

Thank you so much for that link. I do have control over my own reservation, just finding it hard to reach anyone at MSC to discuss an issue with our upcoming booking.  I appreciate the link above very much. Sure wish MSC would fix their web site glitches. I cannot log in with either of our MSC member numbers, have to use booking number only. Others have reported this glitch as well.

No problem. I agree, MSC's website is terrible but they are working on it.

We were in 15015 on the Meraviglia and it was really quiet.

The MSC website shows a link for inquiries but will not connect. I also waited more than an hour on the phone on hold with no luck. PLEASE - does ANYONE have a current Customer Service email address as I want to ask a quesion about my upcoming March booking. Tried a couple earlier posted email addresses but they were dead links. Anyone???

As people were arguing with you rather than providing help, I thought I'd provide it. You can go to https://www.msccruisesusa.com/en-us/Contact/Contact-Us.aspx and complete the form.

Hi Karen,

What experience have you booked?

Chris

The drinks package is premium unless you booked before November 2018 then you still get the deluxe all inclusive package. The premium package has a limit of 10euros/12usd for drinks.

The only aspect that has been excluded in the recent change is gelato....now chargeable. The drinks package is the equivalent of Premium Plus which has no price limit and, arguably, will offer at least a small number of high end brands for whisky/cognac/tequila and possibly an additional champagne that were not previously included!

I have just been told in writing by UK customer services:

In the Yacht Club experience are included unlimited food and beverage in MSC Yacht Club areas, Free minibar service and Premium Drink package in the rest of the ship.

So it doesn't include premium plus. There is a 10 Euro limit and champagne is no longer included.

Equally as bland and disappointing as British-style breakfasts. If one is used to that unappetizing style then they might enjoy those places. Not my cup of tea though. Hopefully MSC is much better than that!

Hopefully not the gnats wee of American tea.

If you confine your dining experiences to Denny's and McDonald's then I suppose so...

I wouldn't know but it seems you are all too familiar...
