MSC Seaside Nov. 2021 Europe to Brazil Repositioning Cancelled?

[Sstn]

It's not bookable online any longer (at least in US).  Does anyone know if it was cancelled?  Might be a bad omen for the reverse trip in March 2022.

Good luck from a canceled Seashore transatlantic. MSC will not give you any info or perks. Never again.

It’s kind of looking like all their transatlantics are getting canceled. 😞

Seaside will still sail from Brazil, no mention of a TA.

Can you expand that comment please, we are scheduled to cruise the Seaview transatlantic from Europe to the Caribbean (doesn't touch any USA port) mid-November.

TIA

Yep, Guadeloupe but not DR although Dominica is....I think I know what's coming, just been on web and the cruise is showing either error or a strange fully booked message. It differs depending on embarking port, but the message is clear and similar to the others that have been shot. It was still showing as normal late last night, so this has def changed today!  😒

It’s unfortunate but Martinique and Guadeloupe are now closed to ships till the end of the year. And I think some other islands are iffy too. It looked like a great itinerary.  While MSC has not been great about communicating changes to people, in this case the extension of the closure for those two islands just happened and it sounds like it was a little unexpected.
