New to MSC

[addicted cruiser]

I have sailed on several different cruise lines and am now thinking of going on the Seaside.

I have a few questions before I book if anyone can answer.

We are booking thru Sunwing vacations which offer the Fantastica experience with drinks on us pkg.  Can anyone explain what the fantastica experience and the drinks on us pkg is like?

I have mobility issues and sometimes use a walker, would the cabin be big enough to have this in the cabin?

Any information I can get from anyone in regard to the ship would be greatly appreciated and would help me to make the decision to book this cruise.

thank you.

Well first off you are not suppose to mention booking agents but then second they can't be offering Drinks on Us, that was discontinued last November.  Maybe you mean the All In promo??? 

 

Basically Fantastica gets you a better cabin choice and preferred dining time over Bella, not seeing too many more perks with the drink packages with Fantastica since supposedly you do not get the 12 drink vouchers with Fantastica if you get the drink package.

Thank you for the link, I am also considering MSC for our 2020 cruise so this helps a lot.

Any time.  We are long time NCL cruisers but got tired of the increase and price and decrease in service.

 

We status matched to MSC (if you have any kind of longer term loyalty with another cruise line you can do this too ) and decided to give MSC a try.

 

For the dolllars we spent with MSC (which was much less than NCL) we feel it is great value for the money.

 

Yes they have some shortfalls but they are trying.

 

We are not demanding cruises and realize every company has its bumps in the road.

 

We have 2 more cruises booked with MSC and are looking forward to them.
