Bracarense

We reserved a large balcony on deck 9. Hope its good ;)

Does anyone have any info on cabin 9734?

You are all great. Thank you.

As soon as we choose I'll give feedback.

Thank you all.

Which non-suites have larger balconies besides the afts?

Hello all.

Me, my wife and almost 6 years old daughter will likely be in our first Caribbean cruise onboard the Escape.

We are looking for a Balcony but at the moment there are several cabin choices. Is there any we should definitely look for or any we should run away from.

Thank you for your help.

I used them the other way around - getting back to airport - but I think they do it from airport to port. They have a pick up point at port and then you check them in with NCL. Try e-mail Bags & Go.

Just one question to those who feel disrespected in Formal Night: in other themed nights do you dress acordingly? (white nighys, red-white-green in italian ships like Costa or MSC, other themed noghts...)

I rarely wear any sort of hat (even in really sunny days) but can someone explain me why is wearing a hat considered bad manners?

Yep, don't know what the issue is that so many have in following the rules (by whatever name) we all agreed to when we booked?

 

I guess they just think they're too special.

Though I'm not as experienced as many around, dress code as never showed up on my bookings as mandatory...

Larger rooms.

Just to make a final update: my insurance had some small print stating that it doesn't cover stolen electronics and a few other things from luggage...

I think my insurance covers it. I sent them the info they requested and I'm waiting feedback.

I don't say it's MSC fault. It was my fault for leaving it there. I just think it would be nice to hear a simple and nice word from them. Nothing else.

I don't expect MSC to do nothing. They simply don't care. It could have been stolen onboard and it would just be nice if they just had a simple word before the end of the cruise. It was my fault I forgot it in the suitcase but I am forced to trust them with my luggage. If I missplace a pool towel or a table tennis gear they say they will charge me... If they missplace somehing from my luggage I cannot charge them.

 

I always have my valuables including electronics on me, in my handbag which I never let out of my sight. Putting theft aside, wit all the scuffs, sharpest and dents I've accumulated on my cases, I'm more worried things will get broken.

I share your thoughts.

First time I forgot taking any electronic, valuable or important document with me...

Broken stuff is more likely with the treatment luggage gets.

That's horrible. Not a great start to a vacation. Surely MSC have come back to you in some fashion?

Sadly no. Never heard a word from them after my complaint.

Luckly that was the only really downside of the Cruise.

Hi all.

Onboard MSC Preziosa I was for the first time robbed on a Cruise. We boarded last Friday in Marseille and ckecked in our luggage. When it got to our cabin our tablet, that I forgot to take out before sending the luggage, was missing.

I talked in Guest Service but I think nothing was even tried.

Great feedback. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much. I'll try later.

Thank you for the review and I'm glad you share our thoughts about Preziosa.

I loved the Cabin Pass you described and I'm definitely thinking of buying it once onboard next Friday. Can you help me with the conditions of that pass?

Thank you.

Sorry for invading this topic but since I can't get any info from my country's MSC site ( Portugal), where could we get info about our MSC Club status?

We have 2 cruises before (7 + 10 nights) and will start a 7 night next Friday.

Thank you.

My portuguese online TA sent ours last Friday... Exactly 3 weeks before departure.

From where you are staying I think it will be around 20€. You can pre-book with taximarseille.

We are sailing out in April. May just bite the bullet and get a taxi. I know it is more expensive, but don't fancy 20 mins walk with cases. Do you now if the taxi takes you to the checkin hall or just to the port gates?

3 years ago they took us right next to the check-in hall

I know from past experience that they do not make e-tickets available until close to sailing date.

MSC is a very strange company.

My first MSC Cruise was booked through a Portuguese online agent and even though I had already paid my reservation months before sailing I was never able to get into my online account on the MSC website but got the e-tickets 2 months before sailing.

My second MSC Cruise was booked through a British online agent and even before I made final payment I was able to get on my account on MSC UK and check everything but only got e-tickets 1 week before sailing and after a couple of e-mails exchange with the agent... everything went fine but it was a little worrying.

This next cruise with MSC was booked again with our Portuguese online agent. Never could get into MSC account and a month away from our sailing there are still no e-tickets. On the onlilne agent everything checks, even a last week tour booking through MSC. Let's see how it goes...

At least we love their cruises ;)
