Charlemagn Posted January 29, 2019 #1 Share Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) Hello all, I learn from previous posts that if I booked the Cirque du Soleil show before cruise, I have to reserve the exact time of the show when on board. However, when I was booking the show on the MSC website yesterday, the website did let me choose the date and time of the show. Do I need to go to the counter again when on board? The emailed invoice does not show the exact time. Thanks a lot. Edited January 29, 2019 by Charlemagn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The emailed invoice does not show the exact time. Thanks a lot. We also booked a time on the website, but it DOES NOT follow through to the onboard ship records. You DEF have to rebook your day and time once on board, and the schedule of shows may be different from what you saw on the website! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP&LK Posted January 29, 2019 #5 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I assuming this is the same for dining, we could choose the days but not times? We’re on Belissima so are hoping we can use the app once it’s live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingFox27 Posted January 29, 2019 #6 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I thought I'd read if you called them you could book the date and time. I've not attempted to do so yet as we're some months away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea about that, even so you still need to rebook onboard as MSC website/Corporate have no concept of what happens 'portside' nor do they care to forward any kind of data to their ships. This is really frustrating, but is what it is, so you always need to double check and rebook any prior bookings once onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heatherb1958 Posted February 3, 2019 #9 Share Posted February 3, 2019 We are on the ship right now. I pre reserved the date I wanted and time before boarding. We still had to re confirm once onboard. You will receive card in cabin asking you to do so. I spoke with guys there on the booking reception to ask for specific seats as hubby has Spondylitis in neck, he cannot look up. They were very accommodating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlemagn Posted February 11, 2019 Author #11 Share Posted February 11, 2019 We are back from the cruise! When I got on the ship, I proceed to the counter to confirm the date. The receptionist told me that since the actual schedule is different from what is shown on the MSC website, re-confirmation of date and time is necessary while on board. BTW, the counter was not crowded as described by previous cruisers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbri Posted February 11, 2019 #12 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Thank you so much for this information.

We saw the very first Sonor show and enjoyed it - very sensory. We're also on Meraviglia in Oct and I've just booked the Viaggio show (with cocktail - I only read one comment somewhere about the dinner and it was a negative one).

I am sailing the repo on the Meraviglia boarding April 16 in Genoa. I have dinner and show reservations for both shows. I had noticed that there were very few reviews so I figured I'd take a shot...I will be sure to review that part specifically for anyone interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be very interested in hearing of your experience onboard - all of it, including what you think of the show and dinner. I wrote one of the first reviews of Meraviglia on her first Med itinerary. We're booked on her again in Oct next so will be following any and all news about her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its my first experience with MSC at all so it will certainly be interesting to compare to lines I've been on before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
