Not Rod Stewart Posted October 17, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 17, 2018 We are booked aboard an MSC Cruise in November and want to stay on board for an extra 2 days. We do not want to pay for the following cruise in full so on the basis `if you don't ask you don't get` we wish to contact someone definitive within MSC to discuss our options. Any ideas?

champagne123 Posted October 17, 2018 #2 Share Posted October 17, 2018 (edited) Never going to happen. What do they do with the cabin for the rest of the cruise??? They are not going to lose cruise fares so that you may stay on board for 2 extra days. Edited October 17, 2018 by champagne123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Rod Stewart Posted October 17, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted October 17, 2018 (edited) Well now.... there is a challenge. If they have 200 cabins empty for that particular leg and I offered them $10.000 for two days you are still saying `never going to happen?` Edited October 17, 2018 by Not Rod Stewart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worldtravelista1 Posted October 17, 2018 #5 Share Posted October 17, 2018 (edited) I purchased a 7-night cruise, however i am joining later for the final 5 nights. I called MSC customer service to see if "it was possible" for me to stay an extra night. Before I knew it, the agent put me on hold to speak to a supervisor. While on hold, he booked another cabin - and then cancelled it. Which apparently must have put another fee or cancellation on my original reservation. And now... i can't check-in using E-Tickets because the system says that I still owe money. I've spoken w over 5 different customer service agents, to which no one has helped. All supposedly "talking to their supervisor". The last agent told me that it might take 14 days to be updated. So no - you can't just stay on 5 extra days. The cabin is probably sold anyways. And you don't want to experience the mess that I'm in. Edited October 17, 2018 by worldtravelista1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are kidding right?🤣🤣 If you want to stay on longer then you will have to do like we are doing, we booked an 11 day cruise, want to stay on longer so booked the following cruise for 10 days, want to stay on longer so booked the following cruise for 11 days. Just pay full fare for the following cruise, easy peasy. No such thing as a partial cruise. Edited October 17, 2018 by ready2cruzagain 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a nice hotel on the beach for 2 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to Uruguay to pick my Campervan up so 2 days on a beach wouldn't be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Hlitner Posted October 17, 2018 #9 Share Posted October 17, 2018 You might want to consider just booking the 2nd cruise in the lowest cost cabin and then asking MSC for permission to do an early disembarkation. You can certainly call MSC (or better yet be using a decent cruise agency that has more clout and can work on your behalf) and ask about getting some kind of partial cruise price on that 2nd cruise, but we suspect that is not going to work.
