Bobbiegentry Posted February 13, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 13, 2023 (edited) We have two upcoming cruises that have just started appearing differently on our “My Cruises” page. (See below). One is showing “POS” and the other “NOR” Anyone know what these designations mean? Edited February 13, 2023 by Bobbiegentry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The “alphabet soup” seems to translate correctly. I wonder why then, this other cruise we also have booked isn’t similarity designated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if this one will be a EW CAR to go with POS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homosassa Posted February 14, 2023 #6 Share Posted February 14, 2023 OP missed this existing thread about the same issue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thread you quoted asked about POS. Not about NOR What I saw on the post was LOTS of speculation with no definitive answers. There was even c-virus speculation woven into the thread. I’m hoping for more than speculation. When I don’t know something, I seek enlightenment from those who know more than I.

Not about NOR I do not think there's a thread necessary for each of these area codes. Because that's what it is - you can see for example "area=NOR" in your internet browser's adress line when searching for northern european cruises on the MSC webpage, so this is nothing else than a website glitch with area codes not being displayed correctly. For example, this is the web adress to a search result for mediterranean cruises from msccruises.de (see "area=MED" in there): https://www.msccruises.de/kreuzfahrt-angebote/kreuzfahrtangebote-familien?departureDateFrom=15%2F02%2F2023&departureDateTo=31%2F10%2F2023&passengers=2|0|0|0&area=MED%2CMEW Edited February 14, 2023 by RudiRatlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime seeking clarity is important to me as I have much cash tied up in these cruises and don’t want some unexpected change to bite me in the rear. That much cash may not be important to you but it is to me. You seem to understand the finer points of web addresses. I don’t. Your explanation and display of the inner workings of the web address is helpful and provides me the clarity which I was seeking. I appreciate it as do many others, I’m sure, who are not the web expert you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RudiRatlos Posted February 14, 2023 #10 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Not a web expert at all, just putting two and two together. 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirWolf Posted February 14, 2023 #11 Share Posted February 14, 2023 It looks like that these designations are place holder for cruise destinations.. same as YC1 for Yacht Club Deluxe and SL1 Aurea are place holder for stateroom categories/experiences. My bookings are now.. POS ~ Grand Voyage / Repositioning EMW ~ Dubai, Abu Dhabi & Qatar Cruise ships , embarking dates and itineraries are unchanged.. all good..
