11,800. No status match. 7x cruises MSC. IMHO status match is not fair...

Cruised MSC SEAVIEW 03-10 Jul 2021: points for cruise were added in only one week, points for on board expenses took 1 extra week so all points were there in no more than 2 weeks time.

If you have the drinkpackage you can order drinks from the drinksmenu up to the maximum amount for your package and no 15% will be charged.

The 15% fee is only to be paid when you order the drinks 1/1 whitout having a package.

! when you buy your package and or upgrade before sailing you will not be charged 15%. When you buy/upgrade your package on board you will be charged 15% on the package/upgrade price!

Cheers

You couldn't just say downtown?

 

What a nice reaction on someone who was willing to help you with your question? Nobody can tell you for 100% where your ship will dock since you didn't give any information: ship? date?...

correction: the package is called browse and is the cheapest version.

Both cruises are 7 nights

For my planned caribbean cruise if I want to add it before cruise with 20% savings they charge me:

Stream 2 devices: 123,55€

For my planned mediterranean cruise it will be:

Stream 2 devices: 89,46€

If you add 20% you will know more or less the cost of the package if bought on board I guess.

But since I want to use OBC I guess I will have to wait....too bad it can only be used when on the ship!

 

 

OBC is exactly what it is: ON board credit, not before On Board Credit :)

Which countries website has the VC benefits.....the one I'm using only lists the levels but not any of the benefits!

Booked with FCC: Meraviglia Aurea Balcony cabin 12/26 - 01/02 cruise.

Fingers crossed. It will be more than a year without cruise...It is about time to cruise again, even with the new rules.

We read it was mandatory to reserve a seat beforehand and reach the theater at least 5 minutes before the show started and so we did, but it was not necessary at all: we were not asked anything when getting in and people entered at any time during the show.

No offense Petra, you are doing a great job with this post but...I really want people to try to come to the theatre on time. It is so bothering for the people who are already following the show to have people trespass during the show and in my humble opinion entering during the show is not showing a lot of respect to the performers who are bringing the show when people still arrive when the show has already started. Normally there are more performances per night so even what diner time one has, you can always pick a show that fits your dinner seating. Like I said, no offense to you at all!

Enjoy the rest of your cruise! Cheers!

How about this???

Thank you for starting this thread, it has reminded me to check my booking. 

I had so much trouble getting them to use my FCC for the payment that I forgot to look at the 5+5 etc.  I've just done that  and there is no mention of it or the OBC.  So another job for tomorrow, contact them again 😭

I have 2 bookings 5%+5% and both had the OBC within 24hr after booking.

Log in to your account, then look for the price details and there check next to cabin number and total fare you should read passenger details. Click on it and a screen should open with the details:

Price of the cabin and the OBC in my case 2x 50 Eur/Usd for a balcony stateroom:

**The onboard credit will be uploaded automatically to your reservation 24hrs after confirmation.

and it was all about 100€/$ OBC for his 3y old son. Alone the 5%+5% reduction was 95€/$ reduction per 1000€ cost of the the booking...+ 100€/$ per adult and double points. The sky is the limit.

same here. Dec 20 out of MIA and Apr 21 out of Barcelona: will be announced soon

I am all for a good deal and bargain but some people have lofty expectations...to say the least.

Of cours it has been in the T&C from the beginning.

Like Quattrohead says: some people have lofty expectations...to say the least.

If you are not happy with a reduction of 5%+5% and 100€/$ per adult OBC, than to cancel is your best option and continue looking for a cruise for free where they pay you on top of that to sail with them...good luck 😅

But still: feel free to cancel your booking because your son who travels for free didn't get 100€ OBC to buy himself a nice bottle of Veuve Cliquot.

Italy will certainly be closed for anyone this year. They were hit the most by Covid, I doubt they want to have the same thing coming to their homeland again. But at the same time, if you think about their revenue from the tourist business, you can understand that they wont be doing it for long lol 

I don't know what you mean by "They were hit the most by Covid"?

Do you mean they have the most cases in the world? No that's the USA with 15.196 Tot cases per mil/pop. Italy is "only" Nbr 16 of the world having 4.122 Tot Cases/Mil pop.

Or do you mean they have the most cases in Europe? No that's Russia with 6.010 Tot cases per mil/pop. Here Italy is Nbr 4 of Europe.

It is so easy to simply make statements without scientific back-up. And no I'm not Italian.

Stay safe

No refunds just future cruise credit! or cancel and lose deposit. Currently the UK website has no restrictions on Italian nationals being allowed to board ships unlike the USA site. Talk about a mixed up mess.

Where did I say that in my post?

You didn't and that was exactly what I tried to point out:

Cruisers can fly to the U.S. and will not be stopped but they can not embark their cruise ship in your proposal so they will stay in the U.S. for the period of the foreseen cruise and than return by plane to there country if origin.

Unless there is a complete (air/sea/land) lockdown the virus will keep on spreading just like other viruses we were never told about.

There's a very easy way to solve that issue; don't allow cruise ships to board or debark any passengers at any U.S. ports for a month while this virus gets sorted out.

You will also close all your U.S. international airports???? and of course all commercial shipping to the U.S.????

I don't understand why you are all saying it is not necessary to make reservations because without the reservation there is NO guarantee you will have a seat. It is not that is that difficult to make the daily reservation for the theatre?!?

It is like driving a car? 

Is it necessary to have a drivers license? Yes

Is it possible to drive without one? YES but.....

The same here: 

Indeed, you might find seats without reservation but one is asked/encouraged to make his reservation and not the other way around (IMHO)
