We will be on MSC Sinfonia April 7th Venice departure, so will be doing a review on return.

We've sailed MSC Aurea suites on Divina and Virtuosa previously.

 

We are sailing with some relatives who are first time cruisers, so will see what they think. They've been upgraded for free from an interior cabin to a Premium Ocean view.

Do prepare yourself for a European experience, with a lot of different nationalities and languages on board.

 

NB I don't see MSC Sinfonia departing Pireaus on May 20th 2024, so do doublecheck your dates.

How did your relatives get the free upgrade? We are going in June and have an inside cabin. But as we are travelling with a baby would be ideal to have a room with a balcony. I was quoted £700 extra to upgrade! 

Also thank you for your review since you have been. Really helps! 

Do cruises have prep machines available for hire? If not is it the case of making bottles with the kettle? Is the water safe to use for baby too as I know a lot have to use certified baby bottled water. Does the shops sell nappies on board? 

Hi all, 

My baby will still be formula fed whilst cruising. Currently I make up bottles by using a tommy tippee prep machine. Do the cruise line have these available to hire? 

Has anyone cruised with a baby at a similar age? If so what did you need to bring food wise? 

Hi thank you for this. I have spoken to the travel agent again and they said flights won't get released until 16 weeks or less till the holiday. But like you said, when I've gone to book direct on msc website I can book flights for London! So makes no sense?! Plus I have tried booking the same holiday but in April and there isn't any flights available either. 

Thank you!!! 

Nope the travel agent didn't tell us any of this. 

Much appreciated! 

I'm going on the MSC Sinfornia in June (booked through a travel agent) the flight details say to be advised. We will be flying from Manchester to Venice. When I've looked they have flights for London Heathrow. Just worrying as we don't know our flight times, who we are flying with and what baggage allowance we have. Anyone had the same issue before?
