AmoMondo Posted December 24, 2013 #153 Share Posted December 24, 2013 I'm hoping that the UK proces will be much lower as they have been much lower than Australian proces in the past few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DutchBunny Posted January 7, 2014 #162 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Hi folkss, i was just browsing this topic and can tell you that the 33 day cruise from Dubai to Freemantle can be booked on the Dutch MSC website. http://www.msccruises.nl/nl_nl/Cruise-Afvaarten/Cruise-Vaarroute-MSC-Orchestra-Tarieven.aspx?cruise_id=OR20150221DXBFRE&ship_code=OR This is really crazy because a lot of the other repo's are or where not bookable on the Dutch site and now this one is.

Willow1686 Posted January 7, 2014 #163 Share Posted January 7, 2014 David I haven't a clue what MSC are offering directly but I've just got an email from an online T A offering free inside to balcony upgrades plus free drinks packages on Med/Aegean cruises, with only a small upfront deposit. It also quotes an upgrade to Yacht Club for £499 per person. The free drinks package is said to be exclusive to the TA which suggests that the inside to balcony upgrade, plus reduced price Yachtclub upgrade is more general. Perhaps they've remembered that there are quite a few people who live in the UK and go on cruises... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's debatable whether I'll make it home from work in time for the start time of 6pm but will try. Let's hope it's good news for repos and solos but I'm half expecting it not to be great news on that front. We shall see. A new website would be fantastic (assuming it would work) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow1686 Posted January 7, 2014 #165 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I have now received my email from MSC, and note that the small print states that the offers only apply to double occupancy (plus, where relevant, children travelling free). Since it also says that they are applying it to off-season cruises ie. outside school holidays, they presumably don't expect vast numbers of children in the Yacht Club. It's disappointing that it makes no mention of solo travellers, even when they are trying to fill off-season departures. All in all I won't be holding my breath at 6pm tomorrow...

I've done an MSC webinar before. It's basically a sales pitch, but you can also get some good info on a variety of subjects. You can ask questions ( via a text based system) but the answers they give are pretty generic I.e. From a script, but if it's something a bit more complex they will reply to you later by email. Give it a go, you've nothing to loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmoMondo Posted January 8, 2014 #167 Share Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) I'm expecting it to be all about great value deals out of season for families and couples. I also noticed when I registered you had to specify only one region you were interested in and repos weren't listed. It's rather stupid of them not to use what they already know about their repeat passengers to target this offer only at those that it will appeal to or even be relevant to them. They know I sail on my own! they also know I do a repo every year. (Or they should know this). When I worked in Retail, we only sent marketing offers relevant for kids to folk we knew had kids, likewise we didn't send details of first time buyers mortgages to folk we knew already had a mortgage or were retired or under 18. I will attempt to ask them what they are doing for the drowning number of households in the UK that have only one person in them. Also if their out of season offers apply to their Grand Voyages.

sidari Posted January 8, 2014 #168 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I would not be surprised it it was aimed at just one ship rather than all the fleet, could the announcement they intend to make be about New ships ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmoMondo Posted January 8, 2014 #169 Share Posted January 8, 2014 News from UK webinar is that repo on Orchestra to Australia not yet on sale but when it does there will be some exciting initial offers.
