Thank you to everyone who responded. I appreciate it.

Seasoned cruiser here but new to MSC. We are interested in a Med cruise in the spring of next year and I keep seeing the same ship's beginning point at different ports a day or two apart. I can only assume that they have passengers starting and ending the cruise at different ports along the way. I've never seen that before and it seems like it would be a logistical nightmare for the staff and crew. The particular cruise we are interested begins and ends in Barcelona. I see it on my online travel agents website. But I also see the ship departing and ending from different ports and the Barcelona stop is in the middle of the itinerary. When I go to MSC's website, they don't show the Barcelona port as a starting point at all. Is this a common thing with MSC?

I totally agree.

So, I just looked at the home page of RCCI and there is an ad for the new Icon of the Seas and there is a blurred out image of the ship in the background. Does it not look like a blurred out image of a really scary clown?!

Snark much?

We will be sailing August 24 on the Rhine with Viking. We have called them several times concerned about water levels. Every time they say, "we do not know of changes that may impact your trip." Really? Meanwhile, other social media sites show photos of sandbars, sandy 'beaches' along the river, and tales of being bussed from city to city and staying in hotels. Viking's mantra is, "we can't predict the weather.' but to say they have heard of no issues on the Rhine is an out right lie. We have until today to cancel and receive a voucher, but we have other plans surrounding this trip in Europe and it would mean a lot of flight and hotel changes. We decided to bite the bullet and just proceed and see what happens. We really don't want a voucher because we aren't particularly happy with the way Viking is handling this and we don't want to sail with them again.

HI, sorry, no I didn't. Thank you!

Thanks. I was just wondering if there was something more current. That list is from several years ago. I don't see the laundry perks on the Crown & Anchor page on their website.

Is there any laundry benefit?
