Likely just the spa deck area itself, doubt they would give you access to the Top 19 Aurea deck.

Thank you

Hello, we have three upcoming cruises in Europe/Mediterranean

We booked the Fantastica package and purchased the Thermal Area Cruise Pass

By buying this pass do we get access to outside deck area on 19 and also the private deck area on the spa itself.

Hello, Salvador is an amazing city. Just near the terminal you can walk to the Elevador Lacerda https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elevador_Lacerda

The history here is amazing  At the top you are in an incredible part of Salvador, beautiful historic churches and restaurants and shops.  You will have no trouble filling your day in this area.

Just be careful and do not wear expensive jewellery and gold chains and keep your phones, handbags and cameras safe. 

One of my favorite cities

Thanks all. Excited to go visit. Glad there is sauna in men's dressing room. I plan on being nude then. I guess I need trunks for the ice room.

Hey Chipster  What cruise are you doing?

Hi there, Can i get access to a clothing iron on MSC ships?

Good Morning all, we will have a stop in Cannes on our cruise and wanted to purchase French Champagne, (thinking it will be cheaper there than in Australia)  Can anyone tell me if there is a Duty Free shopping at the Cruise Port Terminal.

How were the prices of the champagne if anyone has purchased.  Thank you  Bruce

Thank you.

Hi there, can anyone who has been on these ships tell us how the Spa/Sauna/Steam rooms are structured on the Splendida and Seaview.  Are the co-ed or are there separate rooms for women and men  Thanks

I am looking to book some of the South American cruises that specifically sail the Brazilian ports.  At the moment they are only showing to April 2023  Does anyone actually know when MSC releases the 2024 Cruise dates  Thanks

If you go down a few floors you may get a deeper balcony. Just got off the Mera on 2/2/20, we were in 10267 (see below). These are only sought after cabins if you like a larger balcony and the oddly satisfying sound of prop wash (like a waterfall) at night. The only drawback for aft cabins on this ship is lack of stairs and elevator at the back of the boat. This means you will be doing a considerable amount of walking. If you know that going in you'll have a great cruise.

 

Did MSC provide the Hammock or did you bring your own?  Looks serene

Sorry should have read all the posts before posting my question

Like many had a transatlantic booked out of Italy 30 April on the Magnifica.  Cruise was fully booked and was the last part of the World cruise.  Now all cancelled due to 'Necessary Operational Reasons'  Anyone know what is happening???

Couldn't take the risk. We have cancelled this cruise. Going to do a 7 day Nile river cruise instead. Same price.

I called MSC and asked about this and they advised that if we did not have a visa arranged pre cruise that we would not be allowed to embark on the cruise  I think we will cancel this cruise.

MSC just named the next addition to their World-class family: MSC World America, sister ship to the innovative and head-turning MSC World Europa. MSC World America will call the United States her home and will set sail to the Caribbean when she debuts in 2025. 

Can't wait to sail on this bueaty

Hello all, does anyone know when MSC is likely to put its Brazil 2024 Cruises up on line?  I am looking for the Brazil only cruises that they offer.

THe conditions on the MSC Ticket state that you are responsible for all visas.  I had a situation several years ago on a Caribbean Cruise where they would not let the person I was travelling with because they did not hold a US Visa  We were going to pass through the US Virgin Islands and they would not let him board. When I complanied they said that the condition is noted in the ticket that we are responsible for all visas not the cruiseline.

so reading the above it sounds like we will be able to leave the ship in Bari without issue  Does anyone know do we need to do the 'immigration' work on the ship or in the port?  Anyone with previous experience on this?  Thanks

What are the issues by leaving a cruise early?  Our cruise goes to Trieste, Italy, when it ends but we want to get off two days earlier in Bari, Italy   I cant see that this would be a problem  Has anyone done this ?

thankyou

Good Morning, Just recieved notice that our cruise from Sokhna to Trieste Italy has been extended by one day.  It is scheduled to arrive at 7am

Our next cruise leaves Civitaveccia (Rome) at 6pm the same day 

Can anyone tell me if we were to book an 11am flight from Trieste to Rome would we have enough time after arrival in Trieste to make the 11 am flight where we would need to be at the airport by 10am at the latest or should we leave the cruise in Bari ?  Or join the next cruise in Genoa?? 

Thanks

Thank you  On our Transatlantic we have one of the Deluxe balconies on the Aurea level so we are happy with that when we add in the Aurea Spa Pass  We are excited for these cruises

Have booked two cruises in April and May 2023  Booked Balcony cabin on the Fantastica package  The Aurea Spa package added significantly more to the cost.  After booking we purchased the spa pass for the cruises for considerably less than that if we purchased as part of the original booking.  As we now have spa passes do we have the same 'package' as a cruiser who purchased the Aurea  Spa package in the original booking?

thank you, yes, 15022 and 15023.  I am  aware that it is a Handicap Cabin, what i am trying to find out is the balcony bigger  It appears to be on the deck plans  If anyone has been in either of these cabins we would be really glad to hear about them  THank you in advance
