Yourefrmwhere? Posted August 17, 2021 #3 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Markus, obviously you are in Europe. Did you have to show a COVID test taken 48 hrs prior to boarding, or did they do the COVID test at the pier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Beamafar Posted August 18, 2021 #8 Share Posted August 18, 2021 The app really should be working by now. Not much use having Seashore on the list when it’s clearly not accessible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Native Floridian 26 Posted August 19, 2021 #11 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I'm confused about the date of your cruise. it's not September 5th, and it's well past May 9th, when Seashore wasn't in service yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MarkusToe Posted September 1, 2021 Author #23 Share Posted September 1, 2021 MSC cancelled my cruise, without further notice. TA told me, they secured the suites I've booked. But no new booking number so far, therefore not the possibility to book new excursions.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeCommandant Posted September 1, 2021 #24 Share Posted September 1, 2021 (edited) Thanks @MarkusToefor your reviews, in particular on the Seaview! I booked a cruise in YC with Seaside for September, and I would like to know if it was better (or not) to book excursions before the cruise. If I don’t book anything yet, will I be able to book it at the excursion desk ? I am asking that because I am not used to “official” excursions in non-COVID times… I look forward reading your review on the brand new Seashore ! So poor customer service cancelling a cruise 5 days prior departure! Hope you will find a solution.

Hi, why did MSC cancel your specific booking when the ship is sailing as usual? Anything to do with Covid? Are you from Germany?
