Aurea mainly for the freestyle dining so not sure what else it includes.  Had a quick look, it says private sundeck and spa access which is great.  Nor sure what the rest entails, think its a massage and or a tanning session.  Hoping someone who has sailed Aurea can enlighten me please?

Aurea has a separate sundeck usually with a bar, One massage each of up to one hour, always very good, access to the Spa for duration of the cruise and a sun lamp session, never used it but my other half has. Anytime Dining and newer ships have a separate Dining room.

Did you get your cabin number yet.

Don’t forget the complimentary reed infuser with the dedicated MSC scent (and it really does smell just like the onboard scent) as well as an included drinks package.   It’s yet to be determined which of the Easy packages it’ll be but, for now, just assume that’ll be at least the Easy one. 

[sidari]

Hopefully someone at MSC might see some sense and change it, how can you give Fantastica Premium next year included but sell Aurea with Easy. Someone needs a boot up the backside.

[Beamafar]

They upgrade the Aurea included package to Premium when the promotion is running. 

[sidari]

I should think so too, wonder how many more changes there will be before 2023.

[Beamafar]

 Well the drinks packages will still be relatively new.   It’ll be interesting to see the bar menus and what brands will actually be covered by the different packages in the various regions.

Going to be interesting to find out why Europa will not have a Deck 13 ... 🤔

[deniseatnycs]

Thats what I said to my husband no 17 which is usual but 13 is a first, unless Im wrong

That's it exactly, Bea!... I just added the "where" thing because there seems to be several on the boards that haven't noticed that MSC works differently country by country for ages. For example: Currently the UK has mostly the usual promotional drinks package offer... While here in PT it is the 2 for 1 deal with gratuities built in but no drinks package at all!... Have a nice day!...

[Beamafar]

You’re right , of course, Nunagoras 👍. I was responding to Sidari and just considering the offers from the UK/Ireland office.

First time I have ever heard of Deck 13 being missing, certainly on an MSC ship.
