Thank you for sharing your experiences on the ship. I'm thinking of visiting the spa. Did MSC offer any promotions or specials on certain days? We are sailing on March 5th

Hello, 

The embarkation how long did it take you?

What time were you allowed in your cabin?

Has the captain announced how many passengers?

Are cabins being cleaned only once a day? (I heard you have to specify day or night service).

Are all shows a go? (I heard there were cancellations)

Enjoy your cruise!! We are sailing on the next one March 5th 🥰

It's a hit and miss honestly. My daughters renewal took 4 weeks. My sisters boys took 8 weeks.

You can actually order the test kits from Switch Health and do it a day before flying back to Canada. It's done through a Telehealth service. I just ordered my kits.

How much are they charging?

We are getting it done at FLL airport.  You can book ahead at a time that is convenient to you but the cost is $59. Per person. We are doing this on Mar 3 & flying back Mar 4

.

You are going to the airport day prior of flying home?

I have Lab Doctors on my list.  Our friends used them to get on the ship and they were happy with the service.  The fast test now would be my second choice.

Thank you

We will be returning to Ft Lauderdale on the March 12th. Flying out March 13th. Any suggestions where to get the Antigen test to get us back home to Canada other than the airport. 

MSC confirmed that they offer the Antigen test to return to home - Canada. Great! What I found odd is they didn't give me the cost. 🙄. Tired of calling them. Does anyone know the cost?

Has MSC announced at what capacity their ships will be sailing at on March? I was wondering if the ships are full again.

We are sailing March 5, a bit ago I was told 60% but it could have changed by now. 

How much time did you leave prior to your flight? We are flying Toronto to Miami on a Friday morning 10:45am.

I'm wondering if I should give extra time because we are a party of 7, showing covid vaccinations, covid testing and it's a Friday.

Can anyone tell me if you have the easy plus drink package promotion, how can you upgrade to the Premium. Can this be done online or only onboard.

Of course you can.😉 Once you board all ships always swarm you when entering on purchasing drink packages,  upgrading your drink package, specialty restaurants, spa packages and excursions. 

Glad you had a great trip! I've tried to sail Divina twice. Hurricane Irma stopped us then Covid. 😐.             We've sailed Seaside, Mergivilia and now sailing Seashore March 5th.

We are on msc divina 13th March  and was wondering what if any ports are not accepting at the moment  . 

We are due  Jamaica Aruba Colombia Costa Rica and Panama 

Haven't heard anything. Most of those islands are not even requiring a covid test to enter. You would also heard from MSC. The worst would be they cannot go and go to another port nearby. We lost St Thomas (which upset me) gained Nassau (not a fan) but I have to make the best of it. Far worse has happened to us in this covid world in the last two years! Happy sailing.

Here we go again...... Yesterday all was fine, despite my calling them that I have discovered an overpayment of almost $1000 due to FCC being applied.

Logged in today and here we go.

 

Call them it's a mistake from their system when they recategorized their cabins. This happened to me. 

MSC confirmed with us (Canadians) that the Rapid Antigen test can be allowed to board the ship.

We have 10 people traveling in our group and wondering if we need to link our reservations together to sit together in the main dining room? 

Is there open seating where we can choose we can sit with? 

Anytime I've travelled with others we always linked the reservations and they would have us sat together. No issues. You need to contact MSC prior to sailing. You can try once you board but I would advise prior. Why give yourself the headache of asking this request when you board?

Hello-

Is MSC requiring its current guest when indoors to wear safety mask? 

Currently. what percentage of guest are wearing safety mask in all areas of the ship?

Thanks 

I heard, yes. Except when you are eating at the diningrooms. 

For what I read the Lido deck outside you don't need to wear it.

I was just looking over my Cruise Documents for my Seashore Cruise this Saturday and it states, "Present your travel documents, embarkation form and proof of a Travel Protection Plan with coverage for COVID-19"? 

 

Do I need to buy an insurance plan now?? This seems over the top. 

Yes for me, as a Canadian, it's required by MSC for us to board the ship. It ended up costing $490 for 3 people for 9 days. This included covid medical insurance. I would not call it cheap but its mandatory. We went through Tu Go, MSC's recommendation. 

Can you request if your party can seat near a window in the dining room? If so, with who and when is the best time to request this? 

Sailing on the Seashore.

Hi there.  We are travelling to the Med in July.  Family of 4 is ~$800Cdn on Tugo. 

- What did you use for the total price?  Just the cruise total or cruise, flights, hotel, etc?  Makes a big difference.  

 

- Its a Med cruise to multiple countries, what is the "destination"? 

 

thanks much

Eastern Caribbean 9 days 2 adults & 1 teen is was $490/CAD

Are the from cabin doors magnetic?

I read they are giving covid tests to passengers at the Miami port before boarding. Is this true?

I wonder what it will be like by March/Spring Break.  Doing prospective bookings for the past month, it doesn't seem like many rooms have sold... but then they push Aurea and only have 2 or 3 balconies available.  I'm guessing the ship will end up somewhere between empty and full!  😂

Just have to figure out if we'll be there to see it for ourselves...

I've tried doing mock booking and it's surprising rooms are available.

What is the difference between packages.
