Any advice from MSC veterans? 

As your cruise is so far away don´t expect MSC acting too fast. Just wait. No use to call the US hotline, as they also have to wait for informations from Naples. "Call again" means "We know nothing and cannot decide anything".

We'll, I'd say they are more forthcoming than NCL with changes in this instance.  Especially with details.

worst charter group I have ever wound up with was the 'Holistic Holiday at Sea' group on Divina. It was a group of holier than thou vegans that thought they ran the ship, and overtook EVERYTHING. Good luck getting any fresh fruit or veggies, or even salad. They vacuumed it up as fast as it came out.  Now, I actively look to avoid that group when I book.

I booked a sailing for 8/19/24 on the Meraviglia but it no longer shows up on the MSC website.  If I login I do still see the sailing in my account but I cant add additional rooms.  Does this mean anything?  Should I be expecting a cancellation or change in itinerary?

I have booked acct on same ship departing Aug 18th. Is your date correct?

Correct.  It was originally 8/19 but they have since added a day.
