Aussie Jeep

Thank you again for the great information.  we are diamond class so that is good news on the hour benefit. We are doing the Egypt to Italy on the Splendida in April 2023 then straight to the Magnifica to the Trans Atlantic, Italy to Miami.  Any specific information on these ships.  On the Magnifica we have one of the two balcony cabins on the Aurea deck that are not Aurea cabins and on the Splendida we have a balcony on deck 10. With the Magnifica we are very near the Spa.  Any information on these ships would be much appreciated.

Thank you everyone for your replies. Now I have a further question.  With the Steam Room or Sauna can anyone on board access these or do they need to have a spa pass  Thanks

Thanks foryour post. I have two cruises coming up on MSC both balcony bookings.  I am not able to get a calculation like you state where if you have a cabin plus drinks plus spa to be coming anywhere near as cheap as a balcony cabin with drinks package and spa

Hello  Have a couple of longer cruises booked on Splendida and Magnifica 

How are the Steam/Sauna areas now  Generally like to go and relax before dinner  with others and discuss the days happenings with other cruisers  but have read a couple of posts where the rooms needed to be booked and you are basically solo there now rather than the usual social gathering of people in the sauna/steam room.  any one been lately?

Sadly we had to cancel. We are now thinking about the April 2023 on the Rotterdam as well but the Rotterdam TA in October 2023 has the same itinerary than the Rotterdam cruise we had to cancel last Fall because of Covid regulations only allowed Americans to be on that cruise then. The ports on that cruise are so nice in my opinion. 

Hi there  we are booked on the MSC Magnifica Rome to Miami departing 30 April  Looks awesome  I have done the TA from USA to Europe and am looking forward to this one

Hi Cruisers,  Once this board was a hive of activity, now virtually nothing.  Is anyone cruising?  No one is posting 

WOuld love to hear about current experiences (especially on Magnifica and Armonia as they are my next two cruises)

Have a great day.

Hello on Deck 15 of the Magnifica there are two Deluxe Balcony Cabins (H) and all the others are Premium Suite Aurea  Do passengers in these two cabins get same benefits of the Aurea cabins on hat deck?

Has anyone travelled in either of these two cabins?  Can you tell me about them   Thank you

Hello all,  looking at the drinks package on a Transatlantic in April 2023

Having not cruised for some time does MSC put out offers on the Drinks package or should I just book it now

Thanks for your help

Hello Cruisers  Can anyone tell me what cabin 15022 on Magnifica is like  It looks to be bigger than other cabins  Was going to book a normal size cabin and say that on deck 15 there are two of these larger cabins.  Has anyone on here had these cabins?  THanks for your help

Good Morning all.  Can anyone tell me is there a Steam Room and or Sauna on Quantum of the Seas.    Are they free to use?  Are there separate steam and sauna for men and women?  Are they small or a good size

Thanks

I have booked two cruises already from Australia on the Quantum in November

I wonder what the plan is beyond that.  The email I received cancelling my Quantum July sailing indicated that they were going to keep Quantum in Asia for the entire Alaska season:

 

"Following her Singapore season, Quantum of the Seas was set to offer Alaska sailings from April 2021. However, to allow additional time for our preparation, Quantum will remain in the Asia-Pacific region. As a result, we’re suspending our 2021 Alaska sailings onboard Quantum of the Seas departing April 25^th to September 27^th, 2021. Regrettably, your sailing will be cancelled."

Quantum is now sailing out of Australia for 2021

Currently, in Australia you must quarantine for two weeks in a hotel before you are allowed to roam around the city- So if they do allow sailing- I would assume you would have to arrive at least two weeks prior to the cruise and quarantine.  Of course you will be tested multiple times to be sure you are covid free.  This can change in November- so who knows.  I assume the ships will not sail at 100% capacity for both guests and staff- perhaps all inside cabins will not be sold or cancelled.

I am not sure where you are getting your information from but you are totally incorrect. If you arrive from overseas you have to quarantine for two weeks. If you are an Australian Citizen at this stage you do not have to quarantine.  In Australia at the moment we only have 49Cases of COvid of which most are from overseas travellers.

That would be Quantum not Ovation?

 I believe they are sailing full capacity next season .

If our government allows it ,They might start trials in May and ramp up for next season.

RCG Australia had a media thingo that they plan to start in May.

 

We should find out in the next few weeks.

Yes you are correct Quantam  My mistake

Have booked a cruise on Ovation out of Brisbane Australia in November  Does anyone know if Royal are sailing with full occupancy or because of COVID are they sailing at 50% capacity?  If anyone know I would love to hear

Thanks

Hi there we are booked on a Cruise out of Brisbane in November  Currently the Deluxe Drink package is $67- per day   From experience when is the best time to buy the drink package?  Does it get more expensive the closer the cruise date?  Thanks

Wow I had no idea- I'm in a spa cabin on deck 12 in a couple weeks. We have 3 people in our cabin so no choice- they're only on deck 12. 

Hi there  How was it with three people in the cabin on deck 12  We too have booked a spa cabin on deck 12 for our May cruise.  Did all three people get access to the spa?  Thanks

Article in todays paper states that 61 people have been infected on the Diamond Princess

hello  Really enjoying your blog  Can you tell me on deck 11 we have booked cabin 11284 but cannot see what the area is on the outside of the deck  It says bandstand  Can you tell us? or do you have a photo  Thanks so much

Hello all, I am looking at booking two weeks on the Amonia and there is currently a drinks offer by MSC   The last time I cruised with MSC I had the 12 free vouchers which was good.  Do you recommend getting the package? or if only a light drinker just the 12 vouchers is ok

Does the cost of coffee and soda warrant taking the drink package?

Thanks for your help

Bruce

thank you

Hello all I have recently booked and paid in full two Pullmantur Cruises through a travel agent in Buenos Aires as that is where I am currently living. The travel agent says that Pullmantur will send the tickets/vouchers one month before sailing date. Is that the way they normally do this? Are they emailed? Thanks for your help

I booked an 11 night on the Koningsdam yesterday Was a great price $1,349- single in an inside room I see that there are many vacant cabins so I guess the price will fall further but I am happy with the price I paid and with luck the upgrade Fairy may call!!

I am glad I booked. I booked this cruise only a few days ago and got a cabin on Deck 11 There are now no cabins left on deck 11 (I like the higher decks) and the cost has gone up by over $200
