MSC Cruise price has come down

rich_shot2003

we are doing a 1 night Cruise from Southampton to Amsterdam later this month with MSC Cruises.

when we booked it a month ago it was £29 per person but now they are selling it at £19 per person.

so what are the chances that if i called them they would change it to the new cost?

i know its only £10 per person cheaper now like to save what i can.

I wouldn't hold out too much hope of them refunding you the £10 difference, but as the old saying goes, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained"

It won't cost anything to send an e-mail and you might just get lucky.

I'd be very surprised if they agreed to give you the money back. However, you could ask for an upgrade to a balcony room, which is now down to £29.
I've has success with them doing something similar.

How are you getting back from Amsterdam? I looked into this trip yesterday but couldn't work out a reasonably priced way of getting back.

Let us know how you get on.

ive emailed them asking about upgrade to balcony cabin.

we are flying back from Amsterdam which cost about £35 each.

hey i would go for this trip if i was you and at only £19 its a great price for a night out.

Oh - and don't e-mail. I've never had a reply from them. They are good on the phone ... when you eventually get through - be prepared for a lot of call queue music.

Ooh - I'll have another look at the flights. I agree - it's an excellent price for the cruise - even at £29.

Our posts crossed - but as I said, you'll stand a much better chance phoning them.

Good luck!

The problem with this trips it is too short and part of a longer cruise, they are filling the cabins that are being used from Amsterdam.

late flight back gives a day out but the logistics/costs of transport make it quite expensive.

Yes its a short trip but we have never been on a Cruise ship before so gives us a taste of them.

we can board from Midday and getting of is from 10.30am next morning so getting about 22 hours on board.

Will get some idea of ships but these short trips tend to be quite different to real trips as people try to pack in as much as possible, with this been a filler for only some of the cabins it might not be as bad as true party trips.

MSC have some great prices on future trips and this should get you on the loyalty discount list for even lower prices.

Decided to go for it. Will combine it with a couple of days in Amsterdam.


Did you get anywhere with your upgrade / refund?
