mmbcater Posted March 29, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 29, 2023 (edited) Her one engine is limping at best. Have a friend on her this week and they have to replace one of the engines. She said cancellations will most probably happen.... Edited March 29, 2023 by mmbcater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sclaren Posted March 30, 2023 #6 Share Posted March 30, 2023 unfortunately we are 4 cruisers who got a cancellation letter yesterday. Our cruise was supposed to be leaving April 28th - May 5th and now we can not find a cruise for the same date, with 4 single cabins. The flight we booked to Palma is "our" problem as well. Not too happy about it. I have cruised with MSC several times and something like this never happend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sclaren Posted March 30, 2023 #9 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Thank you. Luck is what we need. They dont because we have booked the flight seperatly like probably 1000 others. MSC said " for all other expenses eg hotel flight contact the provider" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBrowny Posted March 30, 2023 #10 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Sorry to hear about this. It is annoying that you can't do anything about the flights, or move them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to make it to Barcelona however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sclaren Posted March 30, 2023 #16 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Hi Mags 1962, no no extras but it took alot of nerves and several phone calls. We was promised the same cabin with 150 E boardmoney. First they werent any cabins on any ship at that time. Now all of the sudden 11 balconys (we have 4) but they forgot to add the drinking package, the boardmoney and we was added a cancellation fee!!! 😞 Now we have to wait for the confirmation. Hopefully this is coming through, because I am close to being a nervous wreck. It is not like we have 3 more months and we already changed the flights, of course with an extra charge, from Palma to Marseille. @Steff79...see you in Genova 🙂 Hopefully. Keeping fingers crossed for all of us 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mag please don't let them fool you. You didn't get an email that you will get the same cabin as booked with no charges extra? This morning they also told us only interior cabins but I went online to look for that cruise and I was able to book online balcony (yes for double the price) but I called and asked if they don't want to give us cabins and they guy denied and said they had 11 balconies on deck 13 and 14. Do not go for less then you booked. I wouldn't have accepted a interior for double the money. We booked in December. Of course now it is more but that shouldn't be our problem. Be stubborn. Wishing hard nerves your way and lots energy and hopefully get to meet you on a balcony on the seashore lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this is coming through, because I am close to being a nervous wreck. That with the cancellation fee is normal unfortunately. Even if the rep on the phone already told you the cancellation fee will be waived, first you get a new booking confirmation with the cancellation fee. And possibly a much higher price. BUT the price will be adjusted. First I could see it online in the payment section that the price was correct again. But I did not get a new confirmation PDF automatically, for this I had to call again. Was a little bit frightened that this call could hurt the booking again, but it didn´t 🙂 1 hour ago, sclaren said: First they werent any cabins on any ship at that time. As I said in another topic, sure they have cabins. Cabins they blocked for only to be booked with a flight from MSC. Good that you insisted until they gave you this cabins!

Just to be correct, let me add that there are much more reasons for blocked cabins. For example on your route in the Western Med some cabins are blocked for each port with embarkation. It is all very complicated🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
