citizenfrank Posted February 25, 2019 #2 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Afternoon Ikea This sounds interesting! You may have or not have read my post in the long DSC thread relating to a call this morning I made. To be honest it was all very 'take it or leave it'! Assuming it is the DSC you are referring to of course! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epos Man Posted February 25, 2019 Author #5 Share Posted February 25, 2019 From a post on FB that something is coming from MSC UK Just had a message from a friend at MSC Cruises UK and there is some good news coming; MSC Cruises are listening to their UK passengers.

Epos Man Posted February 25, 2019 Author #6 Share Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) Pretty reliable as well May have absolutely nothing to do with the DSC and probably doesn't but you never know Edited February 25, 2019 by ikea logistics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Beamafar Posted February 25, 2019 #8 Share Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) Interestingly ... I emailed MSC UK last night about the DSC issue; previously I would have always had a reply by the afternoon of the next day (in fact, if I email in the morning of a working day, I would definitely have a reply by afternoon). I haven't received a response, yet. I wonder if there's a link or is it just coincidence. 🤔 ETA ... though the wording "good news coming" doesn't sound like it's related to DSC.

Epos Man Posted February 25, 2019 Author #11 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Some are saying the DSC is under review a bit like the drinks debacle. No rumour STW just unknown when the information being provided can be given out. Beamafar good isn't in there vocabulary is it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citizenfrank Posted February 25, 2019 #12 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Could explain my call this morning and MSC operative Michael's repeated scripted answers ....🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Beamafar Posted February 25, 2019 #13 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Maybe they've discovered it's illegal to make a charge mandatory outside of the agreed cruise fare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingFox27 Posted February 25, 2019 #14 Share Posted February 25, 2019 MSC have been advertising Bellisima sailings on Twiiter today, it specifically states, fares from £xxx with an asterisk - the asterisk then states "The Service Charge is not included in the cruise fare and is to be paid on board at the end of the cruise, it's mandatory and to be added to the cruise fare shown above".

Rare Beamafar Posted February 25, 2019 #16 Share Posted February 25, 2019 It could just be about Bellissima's naming ceremony; the press release is dated today from London: MSC CRUISES REVEALS FURTHER DETAILS OF LINE-UP FOR MSC BELLISSIMA NAMING CEREMONY WITH PERFORMANCES FROM ANDREA BOCELLI AND MATTEO BOCELLI http://www.mscpressarea.com/en_GB/press-releases/2455 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epos Man Posted February 25, 2019 Author #17 Share Posted February 25, 2019 the specific quote was they have been listening to the UK customers could be more southampton services but as the person concerned has been told not t release until he is given the green light to do so it seems a bit more than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Beamafar Posted February 25, 2019 #18 Share Posted February 25, 2019 It's sounding less and less likely to be about the DSC, so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
