Thanks Tapi,

we’re  looking forward to the Seaside. MSC is new to us and we’re really looking forward to a change

I was responding back to jody75. jody75 led me to believe that MSC moves people around like you were in a guaranteed cabin. Although I doubt very much that’s the case, I read the cruise contract, and they do have the right to move you to another cabin. No additional explanation given.  I would think that’s under unforeseen or extreme circumstances or an automatic upgrade. I understand you can’t book a family cabin for 4 if there’s only 2 of you. In 17 years, I’ve never been moved to another cabin from the one I selected when I booked.  So I’m taking this with a grain of salt that MSC doesn’t indiscriminately move you to another cabin.

I understand. Royal Caribbean whom we sail with primarily has a similar upgrade policy. You actually have to click on a box acknowledging a complimentary upgrade if available or leave it unchecked if you don’t want it. Being that we were “given” Black status as reciprocity, I doubt we would be given an upgrade.

thank you

Tom

jody75,

I read that MSC reserves the right to move you from one cabin to another and adjust the cost for doing so. They don’t go into any further explanation as to why they would do it. It’s probably pretty standard in the industry. In 23 cruises, I’ve never been forced to move or had my cabin changed prior to a sailing. Is this something MSC does routinely? Thanks

Hi Skier52,

New to MSC and was referred to your link with a question about MSC Seaside cabin 10182. It’s on deck 10 on the hump. My booking confirmation says Bathroom area 3.00mq with Bathtub. Is there really a bathtub in this type of B1 Balcony? Or is that how MSC indicates bathtub means shower?

thanks

Tom

Thank you SirWolf!

Very good! MSC Seaside cabin number 10182. Deck 10 on the hump”. Our booking says Cabin Area 14.00mq- Door 0.65mt Bathroom area 3.00mq with Bathtub. I realize these are European measurements, but is there really a bathtub in this cabin? Or Just a shower stall?

we’re just doing the Bella experience and haven’t upgraded our cabin.

thanks

Tom

Is there a forum here that you can ask questions about a particular cabin on Seaside?

thanks

Tom

Thank you for your responses. We won’t need to bring any additional alcohol on. I think the Easy package will enough for us. Not sure I want to spend $20 for the zip line for the week. We’ll enjoy the slides and might even try the bowling lanes

thanks again!

Tom

My wife and I are Diamond on Royal Caribbean and Elite on Celebrity. We were given reciprocity as a Black Member in MSC’s loyalty program. We’re sailing on Seaside this November. It looks like a beautiful ship and are looking forward to trying something different. We don’t pay too much attention to the negative reviews because they’re subjective and we’re pretty easy going. Pricing is quite a bit less for a comparable cruise on Royal or Celebrity, so it made sense to try it. Pricing included the Easy drink package and basic internet. Based on what’s included in the Easy package, my wife and I will be happy. Internet will be a plus just to catch up on some email. I guess I’m just asking a little advice for this cruise line and the ship. She looks beautiful. I know several of the amenities like the zip line and formula one simulator involve an extra cost. Does anyone know about how much they are?  Also does MSC allow the usual 2 bottles of wine to be brought on board?  I’m thinking not because of the drink packages.

thanks

Tom
