Rare BermudaBound2014 Posted November 22, 2019 #1 Share Posted November 22, 2019 You read that right. $199.00 pp for 7 nights on Meraviglia or seaside sailing for dates in December (until the Christmas/NY sailings). Just when I thought the rates couldn't get any cheaper, MSC has dropped to the lowest I've seen in years for balcony cabins on new ships!! Inventory is still high so there is time to secure these rates. For many of you, I suspect it might be cheaper to cancel (take the penalty) and then rebook. I sure do hope someone can benefit from these..... MSC has stated that these dates will receive $100 OBC which makes these cruises ridiculously inexpensive (you'll also get the 20% of $199). It cost more money to stay home!! PLEASE, go book!! you simply can not go wrong with MSC at these prices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ready2cruzagain Posted November 22, 2019 #2 Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) We are on the Seaside on the 30th cruise, on MSC's site it is $459 for a balcony with no drink package. oops, found them for $199 on another site. Also, we are scheduled to be at OC on Dec. 6th so no obc for missing OC. Edited November 22, 2019 by ready2cruzagain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shared this ad out on my facebook and one of my girlfriends books AT THIS EXACT PRICE. They even got to choose their balcony cabin and deck. These sailings are just not selling well. I thought the $369 for a fantastica balcony (7 days) would be the rock bottom, but I was wrong. I kinda feel bad because a co worker booked at the $369 rate for 7 nights on Seaside, but seriously, who knew they would go even lower! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

versuco Posted November 22, 2019 #8 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Just booked for December 8, 397.00 per person including taxes and port fees for fantastica balcony.

Has anyone found this price recently I can't speak for Canada, but I personally know two people who booked today at the $199 rate. One on Seaside and one on Mera. Both in Fantastica balconies. One on deck 11 and one on deck 15. Plus there is the person above who booked this morning, The deals are live and are absolutely working for those of us in the USA. Best of luck to you, I hope you can secure this rate in Canada! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinMaterial Posted November 23, 2019 #16 Share Posted November 23, 2019 MSC did something very similar with the Meraviglia's repositioning cruise from NYC to Miami. The ship was still 1/3 available three weeks out and they discounted the prices heavily for a nearly 2 week cruise down to $399 per person for a balcony. While a great price, just keep in mind what that might bring in terms of types of passengers. The discounting brought some very interesting folks on the repositioning cruise. Some didn't make the whole voyage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There can be no cruise agencies named here on Cruise Critic :(. I just checked and Mera still has $199 on the 1st and 15th. The sailing on December 8th went up to $229. Seaside went up to $229 and $349 depending on the date. The prices are still available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmiller Posted November 23, 2019 #19 Share Posted November 23, 2019 We booked the Mera a few days ago. $199pp for a 7 day cruise in a Fantastica balcony. We've cruised a lot, but we'll be first time MSC. Thought the price was right for a trial run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyndyga Posted November 23, 2019 #21 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Meraviglia is up to $349 on the 15th I'll be on the seaside until the 7th but was going to book it but couldn't get it for the $199 boo at least on a couple of the big boxes I checked...

Rare eroller Posted November 24, 2019 #22 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Happy to say I snagged one of those amazing deals on MERAGIVLIA for December. My own aft-facing balcony cabin for $407 total, including taxes, single occupancy. I honestly can't stay home for that cheap. A few friends will be joining me, all in their own cabins. There was barely any single supplement which is awesome of MSC. I'm glad we snagged them when we did, as the lowest balcony fare is now $1799 per person with outside cabins sold out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BermudaBound2014 Posted November 24, 2019 Author #23 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Love it! So, let me get this straight. You picked up an Aureau Balcony for $407 all in,? Or did you get a fantastica balcony for $407 all in? There are aft facing fantastica cabins on Mera and a fantastica 7 days for $199 (plus taxes) was coming in around $400 all in, but I didn't see an Aureau going for that rate. If you have an Aureau , that is drop dead spectacular because Aureau even comes with a drink package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
