Just curious. Did you book Interior Bella or Fantastica? And if Fantastica did you have to pick a cabin upon booking. Just trying to understand my chances of getting a complementary upgrade. Leaving next Wednesday on Euribia with an assigned Fantastica Interior.

I know that all adults in the cabin have to book the same (alcohol) drink package. I'm not able to drink alcohol because of my medication. Just curious if someone was successful in booking a non-alcohol package while their cabin mate booked an alcohol package? I know it's possible with some cruise lines, but can't find any information on MSC.

I've read somewhere that you pay about €5 when ordering a second entrée (main) in the MDR and that this doesn't apply to starters and desserts. Is this true on the Euribia? Who experienced this and/or saw it on the menu?

I should clarify. I meant complementary upgrades when booked Fantastica. Just wondering if they are hesitant to move/upgrade passengers from the cabin they choose upon booking 🤔

Did you book a guarantee (Bella) or did you already pick a cabin when you booked(Fantastica)? Looks like the upgrade fairy 🧚‍♀️ is more likely to visit people who booked Bella or am I wrong?

This is my first cruise with MSC. I know some people get complimentary upgrades when booking a guarantee. Could this happen when you can't book a guarantee and are given a cabin# by reservation? Or will the upgrade fairy 🧚‍♀️ only visit guests who have booked a guarantee?

Thanks for all the suggestions. It still says check-in complete for both passengers and I don't find boarding passes in my online account. I agree on the screenshot, I always make sure I secure proof I saw something before it magically disappears 😉

We're boarding the Rotterdam in 14 days. I completed check in for myself and my niece of 16 yo who is staying in my cabin. Her boarding pass shows up in the app, mine doesn't. Family members on other reservations and in other cabins all got theirs as well. I deleted the app and reinstalled it already. Still nothing. Trying to avoid calling customer service... what else could I try? Somebody with similar experience?

Looks like this program is only valid in the US. I guess HAL appreciates teachers not so much in the Netherlands 😬 It's the same with price drops, no compensation for Dutch nationals.

It's some passengers who bring and hide them, not the cruise line or ship. You can take them home or hide them again for another passenger to find. On Facebook you can find different groups "cruise ducks". Good luck hunting!

Yes, this was HAL Rotterdam 😒

In October I was isolated in my original inside cabin. Being a solo traveller that was really tough, no daylight and fresh air for 8 days! The only conversations were ordering roomservice.

I was in isolation on the Rotterdam in the beginning of October. After 3 emails without reply, 4 phonecalls with lots of promises still no FCC. I'm dealing with HAL in the Netherlands and very disappointed 😞

I'm waiting since October 15.

I was hoping to get it a little bit sooner. But there's nothing else we can do than to wait. Thanks for the information.
