    COVID testing requirements.

    in MSC Cruises

    Posted

    We were looking for information ourselves for 2 year old for our upcoming caribbean cruise. The website contradicts what yours states.

     

    • All guests over 5 years old who are unvaccinated or do not have proof of a vaccine certificate, must show proof of a lab-administered negative COVID-19 viral test (RT-PCR or antigen) taken within 2 days of embarkation before boarding. Children under 5 years of age are not required to submit a negative test.

    Not accepting Astra Vacvine for UK guests

    MSC are frustratingly slow at updating their website. Looking at other major cruiselines they have all updated their vaccine requirements page to include WHO approved vaccines. I fear with our final payment soon approaching at the beginning of November that we may have to cancel if MSC don't get their act together.

    There's a Dinks Packages (2021) thread on here (currently on page 2 of the threads) going into detail...in short, they are just about to change the packages such that the new top tier "plus" package has an upper limit on the per drink pricing included (as opposed to the current top tier offering ANYthing offered by the glass on any menu).  This was actually the main reason we upgraded...to try anything at the top of any menu pricing wise to see if there was anything we might not be able to live without in future cruises (mainly the upgraded champagne offerings). 

     

    Within Yacht Club (physically) it appears to work much like Haven or Retreat - anything on the menus is available to you, including some "premium" cocktails found on menus outside the Yacht Club.  When (physically) outside the Yacht Club it appears the included package is just below the top tier "plus" package (which on the current cruise, means any drink priced up to €10 is included...which ends up excluding some of the same drinks available if in the Yacht Club area).  We upgraded to the plus package for €104.50/each for the week giving us access to anything throughout the ship.

     

     

    Venchi Coffee and Chocolate Bar menu posted below.  Venchi is not in any way connected with Brooklyn Cafe (they are on different Decks).  Brooklyn Cafe menu also posted below (main unique things to note on here are the large beer selection and hot wings offering).  

     

    On Venchi, there are three places with Venchi branding that I've seen: The Venchi Coffee and Chocolate Bar, with it's own small seating area on Deck 6, the small Venchi Bar at the back of deck 8 by the infinity pool, offering Gelato, Ice Cream Bars and small frozen chocolates and the small kiosk next to the Jungle Pool (deck 18) offering Venchi Gelato.

     

     

    Absolutely (and we have enjoyed this as mezcal fans ourselves)!  There's a bar you can order from and some seating nearby.  The actual bar seating (at all bars on board) is closed off due to COVID....but I get the sense many of the current on-board COVID regulations have been dictated by currently being homeported in Italy.  I suspect there will be some modifications once Seashore moves to the US.

    Thanks so much for your reply. We are sailing in January from miami 🤞 and I'm sure there will be more changes by then. Enjoy your time on board and keep her pristine for our embarkation

    Sailing on the Regal next week and have purchased an unlimited internet package. Some of the report I've seen shows some impressive speeds. Question I have is as it's limited to one device has anyone brought a travel router with them to allow multiple connections in one cabin? Was thinking of picking up a tp link ac750. Anyone have any success with such devices on-board?
