Bella inavailable?

[sealynx]

MSC has just opened up bookings for 2024-2025. Of course I imminently looked if there is anything to my liking. I believe 13 out of 23 ships have been planned (when looking at april-may). I've looked up prices for several Mediterranean cruises and I noticed that it is currently not possible to book Bella-experience. Does anyone know whether this will be released later on?

Your need to provide much more details. How many pax for example.

I've tried several options. Two adult, or two adults + one kid. And I've tried both outside- and balcony-cabins, on several different ships and itineraries. Nowhere can I select Bella.

Bella is strictly a guaranteed rate.

 

You can not specify a cabin class, such as outside or balcony, when booking Bella.

do you mean - you cannot specify a particular CABIN? Not class.

You first pick a category (inside, balcony, suite, YC) and then you pick experience (Bella, Fantastica, Aurea). And if you pick YC, you then pick the room category.

I just tried a dummy booking for April 2025 and after I selected basic fare, all I was offered in every category was Fantastica until I got to balcony, and I was offered Aurea, too.  And YC.  This was Grandiosa.  No Bella offered.  EM

I just looked at WE out of Barcelona for Apr. 4, 2025 and Bella was only available for inside and balcony. My guess is that people are booking Bella early and MSC might be limiting the number of cabins as guarantees. Nice way to get more money from people.

Seems like booking fantastica is basically booking a guarantee room since theyll change your cabin on you anyway even if you pay to pick your room.
