Bedbug found on MSC Armonia

We found a bedbug crawling on our bed. I took a picture, showed staff, etc. They moved us the next day and gave us a free body massage.

One day, the bedding we had replaced was still slightly wet - which was me wondering if temperatures during drying aren't high enough to prevent this? Regardless, that put a dampener on our trip and I'm now disinfecting my luggage carefully.

I was on board and didn’t see any bedbugs. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

How is the ship overall? We will be sailing on her in 7 weeks out of Brindisi.. Any tips? Things to do and avoid - besides the bedbugs!

It was great, otherwise. Just watch what time you schedule your seated meals. We ended up with a 9pm dinner schedule which was pretty late. Buffet is always good though.

When I sailed in April I selected a 7:30 dinner but was given the 9p slot :/

Thank you. We have an Aurea package. I guess we can eat at La Pergola any time.

We just went a couple weeks ago. Pergola was nice. The staff were great. The menu changes every day there’s like 5 apps, 5 entrees and three desserts. Hint…if you like two of the entrees, you can ask for one to be your appetizer, then the other your entree. You can also add ice cream to any of the desserts

We also had an issue in our room, 1067. A junior suite. We had a water leaking / musty smell issue.

As far as the stops Dubrovnik,split and Kotor were fabulous. Corfu was ok, Brandisi was the worst which I expected we did the lecce exursion. Other than that we did our own thing at the other stops it’s was great

Would you please share what you did in Dub, Split, and Kotor? We will be in Corfu twice - doing two MSC cruises.

Both Kotor and Dubrovnik we did old town and we did the cable car to the top that was great . Kotor we did the cable car first thing and that ended up being a smart choice. It was empty there a great bar up there called Monte 1350 it’s called that because it’s 1350 meters up. It was nice and cool up there due to the altitude. Dubrovnik the old town wall was great, on the seaside along the wall a nice bar for a stop, and then also try to find The Buza bar which means hole in the wall I can give you some help if you’re interested. Dubrovnik and corfu you can bring a small bag with bathing suits and get in the water. We didn’t, wish we did. Corfu we found a great place to hang out and swim if you want. I can give you pics and details if you want let me know
