Tip: Go to the German website and status match it via their form. The German officed matched my status within 1 day. I don't see any reason why a canadian customer can't upload the hotel status via the German form. https://www.msccruises.de/buchung-verwalten/msc-voyagers-club/status-match

Hello, I would like to book lastminute the MSC Fantasia on the route Trieste to Marseille, before the Grand Yoyage to South America. The Cruise goes is 5 nights Trieste => Seaday => Messina => Neapel => Civ.(Rom) => Marseille. I have now the following options: A) BB - Bella Balcony With the chance of a cabin of obstructed view. (A friend of mine booked and got a balcony with obstructed view). B) BL1 - Fantastica With 8061, 8062, 8065, 8207, 8209, 8210, 8222, 8257 C) BL3 - Fantastica With 12182, 12184, 12186, 12190, 12194, 12196, 12213 As it's a last minute booking I am not so satisfied with any of these options. The next best option for me seems to be 8062 on the right hand side with glas balcony (with a small steel edge). Other options would be to choose 12194. Hoping for some advice. Thanks Aeroplex

Usually here in Germany, there is the Cruise + All Inclusive offer, where EASY package costs exactly 20€ per day. For a 17 night cruise it would be at 340€ for Easy and the Plus Upgrade 17 * 12,5 = 215€ = 555€ for everything. So 32,5€ per night for Easy Plus and not 52€ which is a huge markup. So for me 860€ on the US or Canadian market is clearly a little bit overpriced. I mean you even book it in advance and not on the cruiseship. For example 7 night cruise, price difference of Special and Special All in are 140€ per person^^

Hello, unfortunately I can't find any rates or information about the internet package. Even on mycosta, there is no option to book. 😉 Hope to find some help here. Thanks

If you say you want to enjoy the bottle in the cabin/balcony ^^, it will be given to you sealed. It should also be possible to take beer off-board.
-
😓 € ... oh no

You can ask your steward to empty the mini bar, if it isn't included. Then you can ask for beer bottles sealed to enjoy it from your mini bar / balcony. Then I would suggest to order bottled water or other sealed beverages for all the excursions. ^^ Enjoy

Even in a last minute booking you can try to match the status. I uploaded my hotel status on 19.9 got matched on 20.9. I called MSC Germany and asked if they can update my ticket to diamond. It was just a click on the computer of the MSC employer responsible for voyagers club. But the price is the same, you won’t get 5% discount that way. currently there seems to be a classic to silver and silver to gold matching event in Germany. Don’t know it for UK.

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I was just a little bit fascinated about the fact too book easy plus for 2 beer brands. Still 1200 CAD is 900€ which is almost 52€ per day ( are you sure the 1200 CAD is correct?). But in the end it’s your holiday so enjoy and have a lot of drinks haha

Could you please explain to me as a low / medium drinker how much you have to drink to make it worth 300 ?😃

Drinking on a budget in the a la carte Restaurant
Aeroplex replied to Aeroplex's topic in MSC Cruises
Main dining room 😉 As we always had drink packages. I didn't know if there is tap water available. -
Hello, just a hypothetical question. Imagine someone is really on a budget and has no drink package. Is anything like table water free at the a la carte restaurant at lunch / dinner? If not, can you order water by glas? The best option I know would be 1l still or sparkling water for around 4 € / USD Thanks 😉

Question about "Comp" dinner for Diamond Member
Aeroplex replied to cruisers5's topic in MSC Cruises
In one youtube Video someone even got 2 half portion of side dishes in the Butchers Cut and I got refused. 😠Had to pay 3€ extra. So take a camera / go pro with you and say you are an cruis blogger^^ -

No, don't think so. -
👀 In my english vocabulary, I will add *trust fund baby*.

Try to book on a cruise / route with only 0 or 20% single occupancy fee. So you both can book 1 cabin. Otherwise you will pay for 4 person. For that price you are in range to book a suite I guess.

Are MSC's Voyager's Club membership perks nearly worthless?
Aeroplex replied to Stockjock's topic in MSC Cruises
I have studied the menus in depth and the top choice is the Butchers Cut Tasting Menu 😉 with the following options: - Bone Marrow (as starter = 14€) - Lamb Chops (as main dish = 39€) - Lava Cake (as dessert = 8€) => 39€ tasting menu with single items worth of 61€ Each butcher's menu is served with fresh baked bread rolls. Picture 1: Bone Marrow - very delicious and tasty - even better than the 15€ one I have eaten at (Naše maso a 4.7/5 star butcher restaurant in prague) - like snails some of my European friends say, how can you eat something like that. But I swear to you it is so delicious 😆 (it's the most delicious dish on the whole MSC fleet) Picture 2: We picked 1 x lamb chops and 1 x filet mignon with spinach and jalapenos corn. The main dish comes with 4 sauces. You don't have to decide. They will just bring it automatically. Picture 3: The second time we ate at the butchers cut. We shared a menu as only 1 menu was free, because we had separate cabins. We ordered a lobster soup and an additional side dish and shared the 400g lam chops + the dessert. -

I cruised with MSC for under 200 bucks for 4 days, inside cabin Bella. Got all the diamond perks. - speciality menu - prosecco + macarons - change of seating time and table (I asked nicely 🙂) - late checkout 2h - bathrobe + slipper - Aurea Spa 1h (but they don’t look on the watch so stay 3h if you want) - small gift + pin from voyagers club - chocolate ship - priority boarding for tender boat in Cannes - free picture taken while during the dinner (they sell it for 15€) at the photo desk -

I got all the benefits but have to be proactive on every single benefit beside the priority boarding for the tender boat 😅 -

They matched me within 10 hours. If you already booked. You have to call the voyagers club. Otherwise you may not have the diamond card / status on this cruise. They won’t automatically update the ticket.
