Yep - lots of ship movements

Our Seaview cruise Rome to Dubai this year is now on fantasia.   Hmmmm. Decisions

We're on this and just noticed that change , not happy as had an Aurea cabin with large balcony and Fantasia a lot older ship.

All nine sailings I had planned from May through next September have now been cancelled by MSC.  I'm taking it as a sign that cruising is not in my future for a while and going to sit back and watch from the sidelines until the industry settles down.  While I consider Fantasia a very big difference I doubt MSC will consider it a big enough change to let you cancel for that reason.  I assume you can still get the deposit back under the "normal" cancellation policy?  For me there are too many questions regarding how different cruising will be when MSC first starts back, it looks less and less likely those questions will be adequately answered before November.  I wouldn't be willing to gamble Yacht Club prices on an unknown product.

Couldn't agree more with you, Joe!

The situation is far too volatile at the moment for cruise lines to be making definitive plans and their handling of our money in the circumstances leaves a lot to be desired.   Even in Europe, they're beginning to see a second surge in C-19 numbers.

My April 16th cruise on Virtuosa has been moved to Grandiosa on 17th April 21 . Not ideal as i have Grandiosa booked for August 2021 same itinerary 🙄

Me too, were joining at Barcelona, in Aurea whirlpool suite, now switched to Fantasia. As yet no details on what cabin, or whether there will be a price adjustment to allow for the downgrading of the ship. Compensation is a meagre €200 OBC.

We're also wondering whether to stick with it or bale out. A lot depends on MSC repricing the cruise.
