Rare Morgsmom Posted December 31, 2021 #1 Share Posted December 31, 2021 When I checked this morning the deadline to book was still "today" 12/31/2021. As of now it has been extended to 3/31/2022!!! For all of you who are eligible and were in a quandary about what to do about upcoming sailings this is fabulous news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pghflyer Posted January 1, 2022 #3 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Definitely a few potentially good changes. It sounds like it could be used outside the Caribbean now: Terms & Conditions: Up to 50% off cruises departing on or before December 31, 2022 (excluding World Cruise) Valid for all new bookings made from Aug 31, 2020 - Mar 31, 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering about that (Using outside of the Caribbean now). Good to know. However when I called MSC yesterday the rep was unaware (go figure) that the dates had been changed. He had to Instant Msg a supervisor to find out. They really do a very poor job communicating with their agents. I feel bad for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFMW Posted January 1, 2022 #5 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Does anyone have a list of cruises eligible for this discount? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSC employees supposedly should have access to a spreadsheet with all eligible sailings and their current discount level. I'm running about 25% success finding an employee that knows about this or knows where to find it. I don't know if travel agents have access to this - I have had no luck finding one that can do more than quote a specific cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heidikay Posted January 3, 2022 #8 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I am part of a group booking in March including healthcare workers. My SIL got 30%. When my daughter booked and applied she got less. I can not remember the discount. When my daughter found out she quickly called and got upgraded to the 30%. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to note that on any sailing the Healthcare Heroes discounts are capacity controlled by sailing, so there may be some 50% off and when that allocation is used up, then it might go to 40% or 30%. I wish it was more transparent - would make things much easier for both the public as well as the agents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I booked Magnifica for the 28th December sailing (which unfortunately was subsequently cancelled), I was advised by the agent that as the cruise was almost full, she could not apply any Healthcare discount.
