Skier52 Posted May 3, 2018 #153 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Maiden Voyage is June 10th, 2018, from Genoa, Italy That is the date as given for the maiden voyage, but there is a 6 day sailing immediately before. MSC are touting it as a repo cruise , build to home port for the maiden voyage. I'm booked on the "Maiden" voyage from Genoa on June 10th.

sidari Posted May 3, 2018 #154 Share Posted May 3, 2018 The design of the cabins means that there is no A/C outlet in the ceiling, they have put it above the wardrobe. The cabin ceilings are lower than I recall in the other ships, I can touch the one in our current B3, the rooms are narrower and the bathroom smaller. I think it would be a struggle to have four people in one due to lack of storage space, the wardrobe design is particularly poor with very little room between it and the bed. My other half says it reminds her of a shipping container lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fostelo Posted May 4, 2018 Author #155 Share Posted May 4, 2018 So after not being able to view my bookings for almost a year a kind gentleman called stuart at msc has been sorting everything out for me, apparently because both my cruises were on the same reference it was causing a glitch but when they first sorted it on Wednesday I noticed it stated i owed them nearly £4500 but hey all sorted now and ready to get checked in now. Only 70 days left now and getting really excited. 516 days when i booked and its been an enthralling experience getting to meet all the wonderful msc cruises and take in a fraction of they’re knowledge [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmdchiefthom Posted May 5, 2018 #157 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I've done 32 cruises aboard some beautiful ships, but after seeing what MSC has built, all I can say is I have never seen ships as stunning as what they are sending to sea. I'm booked on the Seaside and can hardly wait!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1fifthavenue Posted May 8, 2018 #161 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Well, we booked the June 10th sailing thinking it was the inaugural, didn't manage to get our agent to sort out the move to the earlier cruise and now this has happened, so really glad we hadn't moved ours as it will be our honeymoon!
