PimmCruise

I was able to rebook to a future cruise after my dad has a stroke the week before. I was on hold a very long time but the agent got the penalty fee removed for both cabins (I didn’t ask she was proactive)  She did have to escalate though. 
 

I was very thankful and my dad and I will be cruising in May

I called and was able to reschedule for April. 

Looks like a name change is allowed, but I will call and see what I can do.

Aren’t you allowed one cruise change?

Reading online it’s 1 month for the change 

Hello looking for advice before the call to MSC. My dad and I were set to sail on the 18th on the meraviglia. He had a stroke yesterday. 
 

Looks like it’s a 100% penalty . 
 

I didn’t get insurance (bad choice I know)

Any chance I can get a credit? 
 

or try to sell the 2 cabins privately ? Yacht Club w 500 on board credits. 

Thank you for any advice.

Thanks so much for the review my dad and I are in YC for Dec 18 5 night. We are super excited.

My credit was due to a cruise cancelled by MSC during Covid. It wasn't a promotion or from a TA.

Good to know

It sounds like it is is cruise (MSC) OBC, therefore likely NOT refundable.  OBC bought or gifted by a travel agent sometimes is.

Yep it was from a booking on MSC. 

Thanks all, such a lovely problem to have, how do I spend 500 bucks on a vacation ? 😉

Your OBC can be used to pay your DSC . MSC allows this use.

Book excursions onboard.

Also, you can go to casino and play slots and then cash out. 
Put amount on machine from your onboard account . For example, we put $150 on slot machine from onboard account.  Then play a few times, then hit Cash Out button. Next day, go to Cashier with voucher from machine and get cash. Rinse and repeat.   Just keep track when casino is open. Normally it will not be open in port or last night of cruise.
We use the cash for our YC  tips to Staff. 

Wow that’s awesome that you can use in casino - Ty 

My dad and I both have solo YC cabins on the meraviglia for Dec 18th. Our cabins came with $500 each for OBC on a 5 night cruise.

We will book massages, not sure if speciality dining would be worth it as we are in YC.

Tips for  great uses of OBC? 500 seems like a ton when so much is already included:) 

I was status matches in 1 day from Hyatt Explorer to Gold - easy process for me
