Deposit: 25% (Non refundable) I think it is an excellent price for this cruise, which is bookable since today!

sfaaa Posted November 22, 2020 #2 Share Posted November 22, 2020 MSC has been cancelling cruises, changing itineraries/cruise ports and moving their ships around numerous times since March. Price sure looks good but there is no telling if this cruise will actually happen or itinerary stay the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipgeeks Posted November 22, 2020 #3 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Lots of very low prices available all year (if they sail)! I notice that there is a quirk we've seen before (and taken advantage of): doing, for example, two 7-night cruises is much cheaper than the 14-night on the same dates. Same with a 3 and a 4, compared to the 7 on the same dates. I don't understand the thinking, but I like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfaaa Posted November 23, 2020 #4 Share Posted November 23, 2020 The catch is deposit is now nonrefundable even for US booking. Think carefully before you jump on these deals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CDC has stated no cruises more than 7 days (and this includes back to back) until 11/1/21. Of course, the CDC could rescind this rule allowing longer cruises, or they could extend the date past November 2021. No one knows, so make sure you understand the cancellation policies.

sfaaa Posted November 24, 2020 #6 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Another thing to consider is flight and hotel costs. They are always at a premium around Christmas time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfaaa Posted December 8, 2020 #7 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Interesting. This sailing is now sold out. May be someone has chartered this cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSC usually flips to that "Apologies, this cruise is now fully booked" error when the sailing is being cancelled or changed. There are currently only three (all non-functional) Divina sailings listed on MSC US from November 1st through January 30th, MSC has not yet figured out what the ship will be doing.

darwinsrule Posted December 8, 2020 #11 Share Posted December 8, 2020 No longer bookable on the Canadian site either. We booked it a couple of weeks ago. Sit back and wait and see what happens I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidless Posted December 8, 2020 #12 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I got stuck on that cruise and I’m a little annoyed! Used a FCC and booked 4 nights on Divina for 12/29/21 was very excited always wanted to do a NYE cruise! Happened to be in my account noticed they moved us to 7 day 12/19 Thanks but NO thanks! It’s bad enough having cruises cancelled because of Covid but have had just as many messed up because MSC changes ships/itinerary around and I never seem to end up in better position. I have not received notification so I'll wait to see but I'm definitely cancelling. Wish they'd stop! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidless Posted December 8, 2020 #13 Share Posted December 8, 2020 PS- I don't think it's sold out. I think they are moving itinerary/ships around so locked while they do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darwinsrule Posted December 8, 2020 #14 Share Posted December 8, 2020 This was posted on one of the other threads: http://www.mscpressarea.com/en_GB/press-releases/3713 So yeah, likely trying to get the rest of the stuff loaded so pause on everything. Sit back, grab some popcorn and wait. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsterl Posted December 11, 2020 Author #17 Share Posted December 11, 2020 (edited) Yes, the Balkon Bella for three is now $4,767 incl. taxes instead of about $1600...., good for all who booked immediately after my post 😉 Edited December 11, 2020 by monsterl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
