Native Floridian 26

MSC has now relaxed their protocols effective 10/1, with no special requirements for Greece. Vax - no test, no-vax has to test.

Definitely helps with stress! Now we can be excited about our trip without that but of uncertainty.

They've updated the website for USA finally. No test if vaccinated and nonvax can sail with test. Yayy! https://www.msccruisesusa.com/health-and-safety-measures/mediterranean

They just updated the US site. Woohoo! No more test when vaxed and nonvaxed can sail with test to Mediterranean and Northern Europe. Finally!!!!!!!! https://www.msccruisesusa.com/health-and-safety-measures/mediterranean

The USA requirements for Europe was just updated. No more testing if vaxed.

Looking at Mediterranean. US website has changed, but it still requires testing and vaccination for US and Non-Schengen countries. There's another section for Schengen countries and it also says vaccination and testing. They've also gone back to requiring travel insurance. This is so messed up! It's like they've resurrected a webpage from a year ago or something.

I called and the rep said he could see the CXL line items, but that it still includes Easy Plus and wifi. I'm not going to worry about it then. I grilled him on the website and protocols, but again he said no updates for US pax in Europe.

I'll call today. It's probably something with assignment of cabin. See the pic on how it looks.

Yes it still shows on my cruise details when logged in. I still have all the line items for the included drinks, wifi that start with INCL, but then they repeat starting with CXL.

Our Guarantee cabin was assigned a couple of weeks ago for our 10/28 Med cruise. We booked the promo the includes Easy Plus and WiFi 2 devices and Bella experience. We received a new booking confirmation with the cabin assignment. I just noticed a page toward the end of it titled Cancelled items. Then it lists Easy Plus, Wi-Fi, mineral water/coffee with as price listed of $0.00. have any of you seen this and should I worry? Our cruise details still list the Easy Plus and WiFi. I see what's sticking it. On the original booking it says INCL Easy Plus and INCL WiFi. Oh the new booking confirmation it says CXL Easy Plus, and CXL Wi-Fi. Do that's what's sending it to the cancelled page. Why would these be changed to Cancelled? I've made no changes to the booking.

The rep I talked to couldn't even pronounce the name of the ship Armonia.

CVS in Europe?

Okay, you'll have to report back what happens at embarkation. Praying for a change by then.

When do you leave and from where?

It's just so stressful now especially since noone else needs the tests. I really think they have missed the update on our USA website.

I keep getting that answer too. Makes me sick. Funny how if you look at the Caribbean it addresses US and then non-US requirements. The non-US requirement have been changed on the other countries' websites, and not the USA one. Is there any way to escalate this?

Would be nice if they would the website. We leave on 10/28 and pray we don't have to test before we leave Florida.

Unbelievable they haven't updated the USA website for new 10/1 protocols applicable to over 50 other countries. Honestly I think they forgot to update ours. Mainly because the USA website talked about non-US residents for cruises leaving US with no updates to protocols, but if you go to their home country's website for Caribbean, they have new Oct 1 protocols.

The USA website is so outdated. I really think they've forgotten to update it. It says I need a test for my Med cruise, but nearly every other country's site says no more test.

Yes that was updated last week.

MSC doesn't seem to have any special requirements for Greece, although for US pax, they still require Vax and tests for European cruises. Not happy about that since they've updated 50 of their other countries' websites to allow all and no test if vaxed.

Yes, hoping someone posts. I have reached out by email, Facebook, Twitter and phone with noone indicating any change in protocols for us in US in Europe.

I know we don't know the answer, but it gets so frustrating to see other lines having relaxed European protocols and MSC hasn't changed one thing.
