MM42 Posted March 17, 2020 #2 Share Posted March 17, 2020 People will book for the ship, not the itinerary. Marketing strategy 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP82 Posted March 17, 2020 #3 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I thought I had seen some already on the website for Seashore? Maybe Med ones? What is its deployment? A small Med session before heading west? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will book for the last med cruise 24/OCT/2021 and the TA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP82 Posted March 17, 2020 #5 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Looks like she may be my first Seaside Class then... There was cheap deal on Seaside in April 21 I had my eye on, but think I will wait the few months and book Seashore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very interested, but I can't find the transatlantic itinerary on the MSC website. Am I missing it? If so, what category is it listed under. I don't see a category for transatlantic in the destination drop down box. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JP82 Posted March 18, 2020 #10 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Don't know if I'm also doing something wrong, but not finding any Seashore itineraries under Grand Voyages on the UK Website when I'm running searches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey @JP82! I also sought out the transatlantic when this post was made but realized it just has not been posted yet on the website. The itinerary could be floating out there on the internet on another site but I haven't stumbled upon it. One thing to note is the gap on the website is between Oct. 31 and Nov. 20. So assuming that the Med voyages end on Oct. 31, since MSC has a penchant for long, more port-intensive re-positioning voyages, I would expect a re-positioning of around that length, with maybe a day or two for festivities (or just a short taster cruise). It's all conjecture, but I feel MSC could do that. Hope that might help a bit! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidari Posted March 18, 2020 #12 Share Posted March 18, 2020 With the total shutdown in Italy there is the chance that the ship could be delayed, nothing is due to open again until April 3rd and that is based on them having gained control of the virus with a halt or drop in cases.

This is to protect all personnel and hired companies against the Corona virus. The planning is now focused on returning to work on April 30 to phase out various cruise ships. Currently the next ships are under construction at Fincantieri: - Silver Moon (ready for delivery) - Enchanted Princess (delivery June 2020) - Costa Firenze (delivery October 2020) - MSC Seashore (delivery May 2021) - Ryndam (delivery October 2021) The shipyard is confident that work can be restarted after this period: ’’The delivery of the various ships will not be delayed. Thats because we have a wide time frame for the construction of the ships.’’ according to Fincantieri. Edited March 28, 2020 by Maikell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed on the US agent booking site they have the Seashore "Launch" now as August 1st, 2021. I guess that means the June and July sailings are going to get cancelled or more likely be moved. MSC is still selling them. https://www.mscbook.com/shop/us/mscb2bstoreus/promo/msc-cruises-summer-2021-deployment-update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure yet if they will cancel the cruise or if they will move us to another ship. If they move us to an older ship they will have to reduse the price or we will cancel even if we loose our $1200 deposit. We will not pay full price for an old ship. I understand the situation but will rather cancel than pay full price for an older ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that in 3-4 months the dates between June 13 and the end of July will be removed in the reservation systems in order to still generate bookings.
