MSC out of US in 2023?

[petuniaflower]

Its been a few years of us not cruising MSC, but wanted to price out for next summer and Im not seeing anything out of US for summer 2023, are they no longer sailing out of US?  Only destination coming up is the Med.

I just think they haven't released their schedule out past spring yet for US.

They just released the schedule for Jan, Feb and March of 2023 for the Caribbean out of FL in the last month or two.  They just haven't released it yet.

Even when they do release it, with all their recent changes, you can never really rely on their schedules or itineraries.  It's never firm until it's been sailed!!

They are so far behind most of the cruise lines for booking 2023 Caribbean. Some lines are already into 2024.

Before the pandemic, MSC used to confirms their schedules by mid May and mid October. On May they'd to confirm the definitive following winter schedule and by mid October they'd to confirm the following summer one. In the mean time they may or may not to launch some eventual specific schedules, usually for newer ships and promotions, as well as some grand voyages and world cruises. So, my advice is: Await a little bit, please.

 

Meanwhile if occupancy levels don't return more to the normal and maintain the current levels shown on the other thread on that subject I strongly believe they'll just pull some of the ships out of the US and redeploy them elsewhere. They won't have 3 or 4 ships at 10% average occupancy level there for certain.

 

Have a nice day!...
