I have a cruise out of Barcelona in May with the easy plus drink package and free Wi-Fi.

Curious as to what theme nights are on a 7 night cruise.  I am assuming the white party would be one.  I always liked theme nights

Does anyone know if I can book my airfare from the states, on MSC?  If they do, where would I find the info?

All guests 2 years & older are required to show proof of a negative COVID-19 RT-PCR or antigen test taken no more than 2 days before embarkation. Guests must bring the valid negative test certificate with them to the terminal. MSC Cruises may provide additional testing, if necessary, at the terminal during embarkation or on board to protect our guests and crew.

TRAVEL INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS:

 

For all new reservations, beginning July 1, 2022, MSC Cruises strongly encourages but does not require guests to purchase travel insurance with COVID-19 protection either through MSC Cruises or another provider.  Guests can purchase travel insurance within 24 hours of making their final payment.

 

During your cruise, you may be exposed to specific COVID-19 risks that may not be covered by existing insurance policies without COVID-19 protection such as cancellation, interruption, repatriation expenses, quarantine, medical assistance, and related expenses, as well as hospitalization.  If you have no insurance in place, you may be exposed to additional costs that may not be covered by the company.

The insurance should be purchased to cover you and your traveling party from the confirmation date of your booking through the end of your cruise and flight or your Stay & Cruise package.

Thank you. I found this info after I posted.  Obviously I should have checked first.

I know!  They haven't changed anything on Med sailings.  I want no testing, but even moving it to 3 days would help a lot.

I agree.  2days doesn’t give us much time when flying to Europe from the states.

What about US citizens on Mediterranean sailings?  I dont see anything about those sailings.

I've ordered the prosecco and canapes before it was a full sized (750ml) bottle. Doing so again for cruise next month.

Did you order before you went on your cruise?  I can’t seem to find anywhere that lets me place an order.  Do I need to wait till it is closer to my cruise?

Thank you.  

If I purchase a bottle of wine with my dinner, am I allowed to bring what’s left back to my cabin?  I know this is allowed on some cruise lines.

We linked our three cabins together.  We just called and they had it done.  That way he are all sitting together and our scheduled time to board was all at the same time.

I just checked.  15022 is handicapped so the room is bigger.  There is no 15033 so i assume it’s cabin 15023 which is also a handicapped cabin.

There are 6 of us cruising on that date.  Ages 22 - 76.  First time cruising the Mediterranean and first time on MSC.  Have you cruised on MSC before?

Personally I wouldn’t travel without insurance.  Why take the chance?  You spend thousands on your vacation, what’s a couple hundred dollars more.  Possibly less.

I have read about their CS.  I have called three times and never experienced any issues.  Guess I am lucky.

Same here.  They have been very cooperative with my calls.  Of course I am waiting for that to change.  I hope not

I will be traveling with a large group and will not always be together on the cruise. Is there a way to message someone in the group while on the ship?  I have never had to do this before.

We will be in Naples for a day and we definitely want to visit Pompeii.  So far all the tours we have checked on are 7-8 hours long.  We are looking for a 4hour tour.  We want to spend part of our visit in Naples.  Any recommendations for tour operators?

Six of us are cruising on the World Europa in May.  I am looking forward to more info when the sailing starts.

I did a screen shot of my status with RCCL.  2 days later I received an answer.  Of course I have no idea if I will ever reap the benefits of it.  My cruise isn’t till next year.

Thank you.  I will wait to order when I get on board.

Thank you for the quick response.  Where would I see a list of these celebration packages? 

Once on board the ship can I order a birthday cake to be delivered to a cabin?  Or maybe something similar.

I believe the H means its a handicapped room

On your account there should be a place to click on that says pay here.

My status match is to silver with Voyager club.  I am to be getting OBC of $50.  When will I see that on my account?  My cruise isn’t until 2023.
