Anyone booked for Bellissima?

[cparker01]

We are booked for May 26 out of Genoa. Looking for anyone who is booked or with any new info regarding this new ship.

[hdowney]

I had a sailing up on my phone for September out of Barcelona. When I looked for it on my computer there was no sailings at all. The first sailing was coming up for a grand voyage in November. Not sure what to do now as I wanted to go on Bellissima.

[adelaidefc]

Yeah I'm thinking of a Mediterranean sailing in early May, and was getting very close to booking it as my very first cruise. But sometime last night all Bellissima sailings disappeared.

Not sure if it's a website bug, some tweaks they're making to schedule or pricing, or if something more interesting like the ship build being delayed so they have paused sales?

[hdowney]

Yea I am glad it's not just me so!

There are 12 of us booked on the Bellissima for April 7th out of Genoa.

I hope it is just a website glitch!

Just checked on msc USA and same ! No sailings showing up for Bellissima. I feel like this happened when we booked Seaside last year. I wonder if it's a sales tactic?

Sounds like a fun time with such a large group. Are you staying in Genoa before or after? We will stay two nights after the cruise. I have still not figured what hotel we should book.

I just checked my booking in April 2019 / MSC Bellissima / Barcelona / Western Mediterranean on MSC USA website.

Status: CONFIRMED !

I just checked their website and all Bellissima sailings have vanished. We are booked on her 12th May out of Genoa, but I haven't been able to bring up my booking on their website for a couple of months. I finally got an email and phone call from them a couple of weeks ago saying the website should be working again by the end of October. I won't hold my breath.....

We are doing the same and I'm having trouble deciding where to stay too.

[cparker01]

I was able to look at new bookings for our week up until a couple of days ago. I'm always looking for new staterooms in the yacht club to open up.

We will be staying in Genoa for 1 night before the cruise. After the cruise, 8 of us we will be staying 3 night in Florence and 4 nights in Rome.

I booked for a May sailing from Barcelona given that the website wasn't working. 

I kind of regret it. I took what seemed like a great cabin mid-ship on level 14, then realised it was right near the lifts and directly under all the tables and chairs scraping on the floor in the buffet on level 15. It also may have a slightly obstructed view from the balcony with some struts to support an overhang. 

 

Oh well, the advantages of the high floor might outweigh the disadvantages, and not much I can do about it now! Looking forward to it, this board has been a great resource for a newbie like me, appreciate everyone's posts.

Hope for the best! We stayed on deck 15 on seaside right under the pool deck and never heard a thing. I do understand so many elements to think about, hopefully the weather will be good and we'll all be out and about wondering the ship. 

[cparker01]

I keep thinking I'd like to change cabins too. Does anyone know if msc cancels the booking and start over with currant pricing? Or can you keep the 

original pricing but switch staterooms within the same category? We got such a great deal 1-1/2 yrs ago, I wouldn't want to mess that up over switching cabins.

We're booked for November 2019 the crossing from Civitavecchia to Dubai.  Obviously in Yacht Club.

[LillOslo]

I booked on Thursday for me and 2 kids/teens Feb 15 2020 from Dubai. Never done anything like it - I mean booked a cruise on a ship that hasn’t sailed yet but I wanted to lock in the great price. Cos it’s winter break here this time in February. Been binge watching youtube vids of the Middle East cruises now...

My family is booked for June 2019 out of Genoa, trying to decide what time I can schedule my flight home that day. We cruise often and can walk off early but since the ship has not started sailing yet, its hard to get info on disembarkation process time.

[cparker01]

Most of the flights leaving when we get off leave so early, I felt like we would have a hard time making it to the airport on time. So we are staying 2 extra nights.

I think we're booked on the same cruise (May 24 out of Barcelona).

I booked an Aurea Angled balcony when bookings opened in 2017.

We are departing Barcelona in August 2019 and looking forward to it - first time with MSC

[Fostelo]

I will be joining on 31/5/19 from Barcelona and getting excited

Awesome! We'll see you two days later, getting on in Genoa. Where are you staying on the ship? We'll be in the yatch club deck 16! Can't wait, booked so long ago and finally is in the near future.

Thanks for posting! How beautiful, guess they picked the perfect name for her! We'll be on for a couple of days along with you before we disembark. And yes we are getting excited too!

We are confirmed to sail on 6/14 out of Barcelona.  Mid-ship Fantastica balcony on deck 10.  Two of my sons and me.  First time we have ever been on a cruise.  Heck, other than Canada, first time we've ever been out of the USA.
