Where will you cruise? The weather can be very bad with high waves. I have "cruised" on the Baltic sea every time of the year and the weather can be great but also very bad in October. Estonia sunk in September during bad weather. (Estonia was a rather small ferry which sunk 1994 and most likely it was not only because of bad weather. Modern ships are better.)

You are correct that it may not be the next flight but they may rebook to a fully booked flight. Many flights are overbooked and I assume that delays is a part of that "system". I have been rebooked a few times when my first flight has been delayed and I have always been rebooked on the next flight even on busy days. But you are correct that there are no guarantees that it will be the next flight.

Maybe it's because of the pandemic? We were booked on a cruise last year but changed it for this year. It's now changed to next year because we won't cruise until we feel that there is no risk that we will have to wear masks on the ship.

I'm very glad to hear that. It may mean that it will be easier to find available YC cabins when people can't book and later cancel if they change their mind. Thank you MSC!

I think that often the fresh items is the main reason for food tasting different at different places so the food defenitely doesn't taste the same on all ships.

Are you 100% sure about this? I don't say that you are wrong but it feels very strange that it's the same supplier for a ship sailing in the Caribbean and in the Mediterranean for example.

They are not free, they are included in the cost for the cruise.

She's not a good TA if she say that nothing is included when everything is included! You may like her but that is very unprofessional!

But officially I think that the benefits you have you shall keep.

When someone pay to upgrade they can expect to get the full experience unless they are told otherwise, I think. When someone is upgraded for free they can't expect to get everything but from what is reported here, most of the time the full experience is included.

It's a difference between a paid for upgrade and a free upgrade.

I agree.

My point then, as you probably understand, was that they can deny access to things, not that they normally does.

The person you were speaking to was probably incorrect. They can deny you access to YC restaurant, bar and sundeck but they probably won't. Very few people, I only remember one, has reported that they didn't got the YC experience when they were upgraded. Enjoy!

Epic or newer because I want the Haven restaurant.

MSC in Sweden normally respond the same day or the day after.
