We once used one at Tampa airport. I couldn't find much information so I contacted the hotel directly and asked them if they did it.

I too think it depends on the value of the voucher, if it's a lot of money probably worth asking if they can look at the cameras.

Did the casino voucher have your name or ID (sorry don't know as don't use the casino)? Did you have your cruise card in your bag, in the first post you just said hairbrush and lippy?

My 7 night Grandiosa for next year has exactly the same prices.

Just looked at your link. I think the ship will drop off for excursions at Hellesylt at 8, leaving by 9 and then onto the seawalk at Geiranger docking at 11 where you will stay until 18.00. We were on Virtuosa in May docking in Geiranger(seawalk) on 16th May. If you look back to that date on your chart we should have done exactly the same as you are doing, in actual fact we didn't stop at Hellesylt for the drop off because there was still snow on the roads and the excursions from there could not operate. We were docked in Geiranger before breakfast, it is a breathtakingly beautiful place. The people who get off in Hellesylt for the organised excursions are bussed back to Geiranger to board the ship, you cannot get off there independently.

Singapore yes, Australia starts in October. Everyone seems to think RCL will announce the protocols on 1st Oct for Australia, we are cruising in Nov from Sydney. Several ships are currently in Europe and still require testing at the moment.

I always think that CC is the best place to ask anything cruise related. Not just talking about this MSC board but for any cruise line to any destination I have always been able to find an answer. Cruising for the first time to Australia in Nov and have found some lovely people on the Aus board who are always willing to answer my (probably silly to them) questions.On that other popular book site lots of people seem to give incorrect info but on here even if that occasionally happens lots of people step in to give the correct answer. I've been on this site almost daily for years and find it's pretty easy to pick out the people who genuinely know what they are on about. We cruise lots of lines and the phone reps for most of them know a lot less than the regular cruisers on here. Also never found a TA that knows as much as people on here, I usually end up telling them something I've read here long before they are informed. Personally I don't mind repeat questions, there are always new people on here and I understand it's easier just to ask than use search. Isn't that the whole point of these forums?

Which ship are you looking at and what cruise length? Someone booked on that ship/itinerary may be able to look in their app and tell you the current prices as they show once you are booked. Prices on MSC seem to vary depending on country/region.

If it says it can accommodate up to 5 people there must be another bed available somewhere, either pullman or rollaway.

White night is the one that is always popular and lots of people wear a white outfit for it. The others not so much. I would think 2 Elegant nights on a 10 night cruise, on our 7 night this year we only had one, previously we've had two.

Wow, I'm really surprised that you were not able to get what is on the YC bar menu, I've seen some of your other posts, perhaps you were just unlucky with your butler. Did you speak to the YC director?

Not sure why you had to go to the champagne bar to purchase a bottle of Moet, on the YC bar menu I have (from Virtuosa) there are several champagnes by the bottle (including Moet at £65) to purchase in the Connoisseurs selection. If you had gone to Top Sail to purchase it I'm sure one of the butlers would have put it on a tray and taken it back to your cabin for you, every time we headed back to our cabin with a drink someone always offered to carry it for us although we always declined.

Great review as usual, look forward to hearing about Rome. Just read your thoughts about the ship to DH and we're both agreed they are pretty much the same as ours for this class of ship. We have a b2b on Ovation coming up which was switched from Radiance when it got moved. I know we will enjoy it anyway but just wish it hadn't been changed. Your aft JS looked fab though, a great balcony to chill on.

Really enjoying the review. Just wondering, when you say you had difficulty finding chairs on the pool deck do you just mean specifically on the level by the pool or all around the upper decks too? We are on Ovation for a South Pacific cruise in Nov and have several sea days so I'm thinking that may be the same.

I've had problems using cards online several times recently with various companies. I've rung up and it goes straight through.

You're not the only ones, we've been to Kusadasi several times and never fancied Ephesus.

You should be able to see it before you go, I'd call or email again.

It's at Dock gate 10 right next to the one used by RCL/Celebrity. They have a YC area set up outside next to the main entrance where you drop off your luggage and you are escorted in from there.

I think MSC are committed to the UK now since they had their new terminal built. It's great for us Brits😀.

You'll love it, MSC have been doing a really good job out of Southampton.

Definitely had both on Virtuosa, NF in YC, Lanson in Champagne bar. I've attached menus from both bars downloaded on the ship. QR_V_YC-BAR-LIST_OTHER_DAYX_EN_1652631776.pdf QR_N_CHAMPAGNE-BAR_OTHER_DAYX_EN_1656525271.pdf · version 1.pdf

The champagne bar on Virtuosa had Lanson included on the package in June.

I booked a cruise last month for next year and my OBC did not show either. I waited a week but it was still not showing so I sent an email. After a few days they sent me a new invoice showing it and it now appears on the website and app on my booking.

I think Elite will give you Gold level on MSC now, when they first started offering the match it would have given Diamond (or Black as they used to call it) but they have now dropped it to the lower level. As others have said you can get NF champagne within YC, don't know which ship you are going on but if it has a champagne bar outside of YC you can also get one of the cheaper champagnes there included in the package.

Fair enough if that's how you feel. Personally if I felt that angry I don't think I would enjoy another holiday with them and it seems very unfair on the YC staff onboard who had nothing to do with it. I'd have taken the refund and never given them another penny of my money.
