Savings will pay for a night in hotel. I didn’t realise that. It’s been a while since we drove to Southampton as we now prefer the train. That works out very reasonably with a TwoTogether card or other railway discount card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They say P&O encouraged CPS to up the prices to get people to use select pricing where it is included. All the others followed I think a week with ABP for Virtuosa is now around £80 with discount. Train or coach does not work for us as no sensible service from our town. For longer cruises you can get under £2day further out, we work on £30week £70month when over 2 weeks city centre.

Rcibrit Posted April 4, 2023 #203 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Just checked in online for Yacht club and the booking and ticket says do not arrive before 1700 or you will not be allowed into the terminal . ?? Surely not ? Has anyone had similar Yacht club check in time and ignored it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ship may be delayed due to French strikes but at least you’ll be one of the first people on as in YC. Our recent cruise was delayed as it came from further away due to strike action. Enjoy!

Guest Cable3232 Posted April 8, 2023 #208 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Quick Q for Virtuosa, Can you only book Hola! once on the ship? I dont see anything on the MSC booking site and I have searched the forum, first time on MSC cruise on 19 May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have covered that last trip but couldn’t drink any more! 😅 I guess if you’re buying it by the glass onboard you have to pay gratuities on top. It makes YC look worthwhile if you can get a good fare as the too drinks package is included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The package booked with the 3n cruise is £100(£33pppd) before any TA discounts The 3n are currently cheaper through us but only easy+ with package.

sidari Posted April 21, 2023 #214 Share Posted April 21, 2023 (edited) The P.E was included in our fare for the sailing on the 30th April, sure we will get our monies worth with all the other drinks included. Have heard that there is Only one Champagne included at the £14 price. Edited April 21, 2023 by sidari 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidari Posted April 22, 2023 #216 Share Posted April 22, 2023 The new prices came in yesterday 21st April, now that Virtuosa is homeported from Southampton for the Summer months and is doing 3 x 3 night cruises before the 12 night Canary Islands sailing.

I know was on the ship, the menu is likely to be the same with slight increases. Untill someone on the ship posts new drinks menu prices are a guess and may change again after the 3 day runs.
