lambs2 #1 Posted March 2 (edited) Just printed our just sent ETickets for our Splendida March 30 sailing and they clearly show (see attachment) that we will be receiving the 12 drink vouchers pp for our Fantastica balcony booking,. Was told on the phone that we would NOT be receiving these a month ago when I specifically called and asked, The starred part shows no ending date anymore either, so confused..... Anyone else?

Valentina84 #2 Posted March 3 When you booked the cruise, did you choose the Fantastica package? Or the bella package? I always make sure I choose the Fantastica because those vouchers are godsent hahaha. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think OP is confused as it is clearly stated on site this will no longer be included after a certain date in March of 2019. Can't remember the date but we are July so definitely disappointed. We don't drink enough to warrant the drink package but am option of some tickets for a certain amount would have been lovely. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cntrydncr1 #4 Posted March 4 My cousin printed her ticket for our upcoming cruise in April and the vouchers are listed on hers also. I think MSC has probably gotten sick of our complaints over this issue. They didn't even respond to my last email about it! I haven't gotten my tickets printed yet but I'm now hopeful. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree as my several emails on the subject were ignoredMSC as well. Now that I have the PROOF printed, I am very hopeful tht I WILL get the vouchers that were promised to us when we booked a Fantastica balcony cabin.

dalsti #6 Posted March 4 My Tickets for May cruise also show the 12 drinks included. Keeping fingers crossed they honor it 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ssmea03 #7 Posted March 5 The fantastica vouchers were to end after the last winter sailing, this varies by ship, so if your cruise is still a winter sailing, probably it's last one, you should still have the vouchers. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ssmea03 #9 Posted March 6 8 hours ago, mvh said: May is not a winter month. No, but the OP's date of March 30 could easily be the last winter sailing for Splendida. If your sailing in May, you're going to want to know if I get vouchers in April? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FIREFIGHTERCRUISER #10 Posted March 6 Just printed up our E-tickets for Mar 16 sailing. Ours still say that the 12 vouchers are included as well. If you go to the US MSC site it states that the vouchers will end after Mar 2019. I'm assuming that means the end of March but it doesn't say. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She has paperwork that says she will get vouchers, she hasn't got the vouchers. She'll have a better idea if I get vouchers in April. Is she on Armonia? Vouchers were being offered as a promotion for the summer on Armonia. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dalsti #13 Posted March 6 Ok.....First, She is actually a He, but that's ok. We are on the Magnifica sailing May 5th. When we first booked we were told the drinks were included in Fantastica package, then we were told they were discontinuing the 12 drink vouchers. Didn't think anything more of it till we printed our docs, and it states 12 drinks included. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes your story is typical, though we haven't printed our docs for April yet, usually dont do them until the week before after on line check in, so dont know for sure if they are mentioned. There is nothing showing on line though. I was given a verbal assurance, in fact it was across the board for anyone that booked before the cancellation was announced in August. We have to wait and see, I'll be posting after the first April sailings here and on FB to see if people got their vouchers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valentina84 #15 Posted March 7 Mine does show. I just checked again. And I just booked a month ago. Had no idea they cancelled the vouchers. It shows up under section 2: what’s included. Under dining and drinks 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scorpioalon #16 Posted March 7 my understanding was that the 12 vouchers ended on 3/25/19 . . . we are going on the Seaside on 3/23-3/30 and the cruise description did not include the vouchers, but the e-tickets do . . . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mom2tcdx2 #17 Posted March 7 Sadly they should have removed it or provided something in it's place. There really is no true benefit of booking the Fantastica. I have it booked for September on the Meraviglia and my booking reservation showed the vouchers, though they said we wouldn't get them. Not sure why they even continued to show it. Or why they even have a Bella and Fantastica choice. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thetaro #18 Posted March 9 (edited) ya, my e-ticket in may also says 12 drinks voucher. It's probably just incompetent IT guys forgot to change the template that generates these e-tickets. Edited March 9 by thetaro 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When it comes to MSC website functionality, what they say is usually irrelevant. I can print eticket 70+ days before cruise. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lambs2 #22 Posted March 9 What a hot mess! Printed proof on our e-tickets SHOULD mean we will get the vouchers, but if the ship no longer has any vouchers onboard I wonder how they will handle this? Most likely a ship by ship decision. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is exactly what is printed on the vouchers: "Wines by the glass, bottled and draught beers, spirits and cocktails (premium brands excluded), soft drinks, mineral water and hot drinks."

I believe there is also a $10 price cap the same as the old classic package has now. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
