After these two weeks on board, we will cancel our next two cruises with MSC. 
Hope that they get it together. 
Spent too much time dealing with problems and errors this trip.

We never got an email for our cruise next year in October.
Was to be Splendida.  It has been changed to Seaside , different month and different itinerary.  Also, was 12 day changed to 7 day asking same fare.

No notice from MSC regarding the change.

We were on that same cruise, same thing, never notified. I’ll never understand how they can do that and think it’s ok. Didn’t even leave same day or go to the same ports. Well we doing Royal Caribbean out of Barcelona instead I wasn’t taking a chance with them again over there.

Kidless, it was the same cruise we were on with you in March 2022. It all depends on what date you booked it. We canceled at 145 days. If we had to agree to their terms when we paid the deposit, then they should also be accountable to abide by it. Can you imagine if all of a sudden, willy nilly, they decided that the COO wasn’t entitled to his salary and just decided to cut it in half?? They can’t just change terms whenever they want. This is my defense in the disputed charge. Luckily we have the guest copy that states we lose deposit only if less than 120 days.

No it was our January cruise on Seashore we were couple weeks shy of final payment when we tried to cancelled. We are still a go for March

Ahhhh I to think Divina is the prettiest ship I’ve ever been on with 27 cruises and 4 different lines! We were on board for our second trip on her last month! And had one of the best cruises ever…….we sail on Sunday onboard the Meraviglia so will see how they compare!!’ Seashore is next year! 
 

I agree on praying they keep the laid back chill vibe on Ocean Cay and not ruin it like Royal Caribbean ruined theirs by turning it into an extension of Orlando! 

We booked for week 11/3 but think we will change to 14 day instead if 7. Does anyone have the itinerary for that cruise? 

We booked Miami to San Juan …

 it’s a long way off but still very excited! 

Well we booked already and I’m not alone! 

Deposit made for 11/3 out of Miami

I love that little ship! She’s a little worn and in need of TLC but she has a big heart! 

We wanted to cancelled our January cruise before final payment we were told we‘d lose the deposit or we could just move it to another date so we moved it to August.

We are at sea now, heading for Curaçao.

Have fun!!! But I’m wishing your week away! Boarding on Sunday and can not wait!!!

I’m also on waitlist anxious to pull the trigger and put down deposit but haven’t heard from my agent she’s currently on the Seashore! 

I find it amusing 🤣to listen to people complaining about people complaining! 🍿 🍷 😆 carry on! 

Interesting! On Divina last month we received the big bottle (which we liked) they restocked the beer, soda & water for free daily. We requested ginger ale which they put in as well as DH favorite beer. We were told we’d be charged for second cans of peanuts or candy. We did open 2nd can of nuts but not charged. We go on Meraviglia next week so I’ll be interested to see how it actually goes down. Have fun! 

🤔 Everything I've read you'd get the benefits except the points. Really don't see why covid protocols have anything to do with it seems like that excuse is used for all kinds of changes and deletion of perks. 

Honestly as someone who pays thousands of dollars more to be in yacht club and only gets to bid for any upgrades which are absolutely none to minimal savings, it irritates me that someone gets it for free.  #JMHO 

Lol really not sure what happened there! Apologies 

Got sick feeling……website back up and my January cruise and March do not show up when I plug things into make a mock booking. Poof they are gone. Divina in March shows cruises before and after the March 27-April 8, 12 nite cruise to Panama but that one does not show up. Last time I experienced this my 12 night cruise turned into a 7 night on a different ship and different itinerary. 😡 I hope that isn’t happening again!

Thank you for posting this. We'll be on the 11/28/21 sailing out of Port Canaveral. Long time cruisers, first time in the covid restart.

We are also on this sailing! Getting close now!

I’d like to book the Tryptic package but we don’t care for Sushi will they let you swap out and do another restaurant?

Was that Divinia?  From experience recently and reports, that is for Divinia not Mera.

Was that way on Divina. I did enjoy the regular size bottle of vodka instead of a bottle of wine and mini bottles.

Do they still greet you with champagne and cookies when you arrive at the terminal on embarkation day, or has that gone away since Covid?

Nope, they had cans of peanuts & Pringles water & soda. Blamed it on covid. Sometimes I get tired of every cut back being blamed on covid in travel industry.

Yes, it is.  But, for those of us who have some challenges in walking long distances, getting from the YC Lounge/area to the YC Restaurant on Divina is not a minor consideration.  

We had  little rain on our October cruise. Wanted to avoid the windy wet walk so went down two decks zig zagged across and up! My Fitbit worked over time!

On our 10/17 sailing Divina skipped Ocean Day due to the wind (?) so it took 2 sea days to go to Cozumel then stopped Ocean Cay on Saturday (last day) but did not stay over night.

 

I was on that sailing! So sad we missed the overnight we loved Ocean Cay staying overnight would have been awesome! We cruise again in few weeks same itinerary hopefully we will make it! 

Just curious as I’ve noticed that the two ships sailing from US have different protocols. Why? 
 

Divina - Yacht Club mini bar you pick large bottle and snacks are only one time then you pay. 
 

Meraviglia- Yacht club uses mini bottles and restock no charge all week. 
 

Divina- Seating is allowed at all bars 

Meraviglia- Seating only allowed at 1 or 2 bars. 
 

Does anyone know why they operate differently?

On Divina (yacht club) the regular coffee was to strong for my liking I’m a black coffee drinker. I tried cappuccino’s and absolutely loved them.
