  1. Transatlantic in April was shockingly poor. I got a refund after 3 days of dial-up speed at best (and more commonly nothing)
  2. Right now, on virtuosa, it is an MSC tote bag….at least that is what was left earlier this week.
  3. IIRC you have to book x months in advance to get OBC …. With the way prices are reducing as you get closer to sail date, this may be counter productive
  4. The ice cream included in the child’s package is from the ice cream parlour at the Atmosphere Pool. ice cream from third party vendors was never included in the package on virtuosa
  5. Ice cream ONLY Included in the Child’s package
  6. On my cruise two weeks ago, the offer to stay on board was nearly double the price that TAs were offering at the same time. Check before taking the plunge
  7. Bottled water £3 coffees £3 …espressos probably cheaper though Cokes etc, £3 lager £6 for 400ml bottled beer £6.50-£8 for pint wine £6.50 for large glass BUT all individual drinks have 15% convenience charge added if you can get the drinks package on an offer then anything under £30 is good …you can often get it for £28pppd If not then buying the packages in advance is still significantly cheaper than buying them onboard (and you avoid the 15% service charge) on my recent 7 day cruise my package included the premium extra but , apart from when I deliberately chose drinks from the premium extra package, 95% of what I really wanted was in the Easy package, so if you can’t get a great deal on Premium Extra then i would plump for Easy. we were not heavy drinkers but individually… on an average day… coffee at breakfast … £3.50 (incl service) Proper juice at breakfast …£3.50 bottle of water to take off boat … £3 beer with lunch after returning from excursion… £8 mid afternoon cocktail / non alcoholic cocktail … £8 hot chocolate or coke to take back to cabin before getting ready …£3.50 pre dinner vodka/coke or Prosecco …£8 wine with dinner …£7.50 post dinner baileys … £4.50 that comes to £50 per day …for non heavy drinkers!!!
