MSC 4 to 5 months vacation and changes in appointed joining dates

Hello, i wish to stay anonymous.I work in the HK dept for MSC Cruises. I disembarked from MSC Fantasia in August 2024 and was handed an appointment letter to rejoin the same vessel in January 2025. After almost 4months vacation, I got a call from my agency for contract signing procedures and flight tickets. No changes was made in my embarkation schedule at that time. One week later, my agency called me to inform that my joining date was changed and there is also a change in vessel. Much to my dismay, I declined and asked my agency to make a request to maintain my date and vessel as per my appointment letter.

Is anyone else facing this issue with MSC?

I shall be happy if any help could be provided in this situation about whom should I contact to address this matter,since my agency is useless. Thank you.

Same things happened to everyone,last time I was at home 8 months vacation and this time already 3 months, don't know when they will give joining... Disappointed...

Why just not accept the offer that they gave you?

They postponed it to march. I'm at home for 4 months already.
