MIght get lucky with release dates on her but for that Sailing depending where she's going it's possible you could have to wait until Nov or even May2020 to book. 

I hope not I will give up and book symphony for my b2b instead I am to impatient 

We are waiting impatiently I want to book for April 2021 🙈

Quick question can anyone remind me of the website that shows the ships schedules usually before they are released every year I ask then I forget it again   

Perfect! One step closer to 100% smoke-free ships!

Why why do you need that I agree all ships should be smoke free inside because it smells bad and is unfair on the non smokers but why should there be no designated smoking areas ? How do they effect you.

The casino is no smoking which many appreciate. The smoking part of the casino is actually a smaller part sealed in with doors. I think there is a cigar lounge that also permits smoking. So actually 3 parts of the ship allow smoking and is a long walk from your cabin.

I’m happy that the main casino is non smoking even as a smoker I hate the stale smoke smell that drifts throughout the ship.

The cigar lounge is for cigars only just been thrown out of there for smoking a cigarette so yes only 2 places to smoke 1 when in port as you can’t smoke in the casino unless it’s open.

There should be more outdoor areas to smoke like outside the cigar lounge on getaway.

Thanks for the heads up. We are booked on the Bliss in January out of the 20 of us there are 4 smokers I will let them know. We had another option for a different line and will probably rebook with that line as we know what to expect on that line.

I’m truly devastated there is only room for around 40 people in the smoking area I would not have booked this ship had I known

Just got onboard there is only one small area to smoke in deck 17 tiny area of spice and a sectioned off area of the casino but only when open. That’s an extremely long walk to have a smoke if you are in any of the bars or at the pool.

I signed up @ 2:37pm with no problem.

Fingers crossed then 🤞🏼 thanks for the advice

Sounds about right. I know they can display 10 on the board, and sign-up is limited, so that makes sense.

 

The leaderboard requires a nightly manual count of transactions, so even 10 participants represents a ridiculous & time-consuming chore by the staff.

 

OMG noooo I’m flying in to Seattle from LA the morning of my bliss cruise I won’t be one of the first on I’m worried I won’t make the list [emoji22]

Someone said that there was zero tolerance on the Joy. If there was any indication that drinking has occurred, then the guests wouldn’t be allowed on the track.

 

The lines at 6am are going to be looooong.

Just been informed by a friend currently on escape that they only allow 10 people to sign up for the district brew house competition is this true ? Thought you would be the best person to ask 🤣

I looked at Celebrity Constellation from Dubai to Civitavecchia in April 19 but its way to expensive now.

 

Just have to wait and see. Everything is speculation but we can hope

We’ve booked MSC Bellissima was a great price still and A New part of the world for us so I’m sure we will still enjoy it.

Wish I had done that a couple of years ago when they were going for a few hundred pounds

So do I

I couldn’t convince the better half then to give Dubai a try then royal pulled out of Dubai [emoji22] but now I’ve booked Dubai for a different line for 2020 it will be just my luck that royal will return [emoji849]

That's just silly....it's selling so well in US so let's not allow passengers from other countries to book? I'm sorry.

I really hope she’s wrong because I was ready to book the Repo sailing I changed totally from what I was originally going to do in fall 2019 but now I’ve got my heart set on it I just wanna book 🤦🏼*♀️

That is just not right. DId they say why?

Apparently it’s selling so well in the USA they feel they don’t need to it’s about really breaking into the market over there I’m really not happy she advised to book through a US agent and use a friend from the USA’s address

Spoke to an agent in the uk who thinks it’s unlikely they will be releasing the sailings from New York to the European market [emoji35]

Can we?

That's really poor when they are available to book on the USA website already! [emoji23][emoji85]

I know I might have to consider booking through a US agent [emoji85]

Oh dear!

Will be interesting what they say on Seaside next month!

And thank you!

Hopefully with seaside being in the US already they should be better informed

If you get chance can you ask if we can book any of the ones out of New York please?

I wouldn’t mind trying to get the 2nd Canada one booked whilst on Seaside next month.

Thanks

It’s the ones out of New York I’m trying to book and they didn’t even know the ship was going to New York

Sent from my iPhone using Forums

The person I emailed knew the three NYC itineraries existed, I got a reply about three days later to tell me that the TA itineraries may be available by the end of this month and the NYC ones were only available on the USA website at the moment. So I guess we just have to wait?!!

 

Hope you're enjoying it Kayleigh - can't wait to hear all about it :)

Honestly Lou the ship is amazing but they can’t organise things properly as far as bookings concerned I’ve been to the next cruise desk 4 times and she has still forgot to enquire further 🤦🏼*♀️ I had to show her the online news articles to prove it was even going to New York.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums

I emailed the UK Operations email address yesterday, but as at my last message hadn't had a reply. I now have had a reply and I've been told that the TA itinerary isn't yet available to the UK market and they are likely to get further information from Head Office at the end of this month.

I’m on meraviglia now tried to book the 13 night Repo from New York to Miami and was told it doesn’t exist 🙈 also from the UK I have no idea what’s going on.

Yes you get it by the glass as many times as you want

Great thanks

Nicolas Feulliate champagne is included in the premium drinks package. Laurent Perrier Brut is included but only in the champagne bar

Great thank you

Sent from my iPhone using Forums

Can you confirm that glasses of champagne are included in the deluxe drink package please and it doesn’t seem to mention champagne on msc site ?

Sent from my iPhone using Forums

I’m reading conflicting information on this I have booked the deluxe package for drinks for my MSC cruise on 5th January on meraviglia I’ve seen reviews on here sowing champagne by the glass as included which is the main reason I booked this package over the classic yet I’ve also found info saying no champagne included [emoji22] could anyone who has sailed recently confirm either way please ?
