We are currently booked on 10/25 Divina sailing from Miami with a B2 balcony room. Called MSC today (promotion starts today) and customer rep, Dave, double checked before giving me any answers. If you are currently booked, you will not get beverage package. Our room is considered Fantastica and we will NOT get the beverage package but will get priority seating for early or late dining, free room service, 50% off fitness classes and personal trainer. (children offers are also available but doesn't apply to us). I do not see where they are offering $250 Free amenities. Dave did not mention that to me either.

If you are already booked you were not suppose to get anything the fact that they included some things is a plus. It clearly states that bookings made today and on will receive the perks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It clearly states that bookings made today and on will receive the perks If you click onto "this site" in JLawrence's post you will see that they do offer what was quoted to me as a previously booked passenger. No mention of the $250 onboard credit however that JLawrence mentioned in his/her post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryann2 Posted September 23, 2014 #5 Share Posted September 23, 2014 What is interesting is that the Premium Aurea Experience offers "Any time" dining. I did observe this in the Divina where people arrived for dinner at 7.15pm or 7.30 and were seated at tables for 2 in the area we were seated. It seemed to be all Germans as obviously it was marketed in Germany. When I asked the maitre'd about it he said it was a special package they had booked. This did mean that all the tables for 2 were reserved for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLawrence Posted September 23, 2014 Author #6 Share Posted September 23, 2014 No mention of the $250 onboard credit however that JLawrence mentioned in his/her post. It does not mean onboard credit but "value of those experiences". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmoMondo Posted September 23, 2014 #7 Share Posted September 23, 2014 This is for the US market only. These experiences have already been introduced in other parts of the world before this and there are some small differences in the different experiences.

ed2myan Posted September 23, 2014 #8 Share Posted September 23, 2014 We are booked on Divina in Mar'15 and Musica in Jul'15. The rates for same category have jumped by $1100 for 2 adults and 1 child. For us, not worth the added value of $650 amenities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
