Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. This is all extremely interesting re MDR water and bottled water. I'm going on the Euribia in just over 2 weeks from Southampton (first MSC cruise) and I'm booked through MSC USA. I had noticed that on my cruise ticket right at the top under "SERVICES ADDED TO YOUR CRUISE" is "MINERAL WATER AND COFFEE IN DINING ROOM". I found that very strange as we always got coffee and water (not necessarily mineral water) in the MDR on my other cruises. I now understand why. As it happens, we also booked the drinks pkg + wifi promotion so I presume we can get whatever water/coffee/drinks we like anyway. Maybe some of the people the previous posters saw with bottled water had drinks packages, rather than an extra amenity? In any case, we are cruising with family in another cabin and in order to be able to sit at the same table we all have to have the same drinks package. Maybe when matching 6 tops and 8 tops they only match cabins with the same drinks packages and/or amenities, so that's how the waiters know ?

    Bummer

    Exactly......we get in the car to go to the airport, and before leaving we all check that we have our passports. So sorry it happened to you (OP).
  3. Hi - I'm an MSC newbie, cruising at the beginning of April on the Euribia, round trip Southampton. Can anyone please tell me which pier the Euribia uses for embarkation in Southampton? I need to book parking !!

    QE2 Cocktail

    I made it last week - not bad!!
  5. Yeah, the question was specifically for Britannia balcony class, on QE. She who must be obeyed asked me to find out.
  6. Could anybody please tell me if there is a magnifying mirror in the bathroom ?
  7. You can order a brochure by going into the site and clicking on "Request a Brochure". I live in Israel and I'm always directed to the UK site - so when requesting a brochure you have to have a UK address, otherwise it tells you to look at the digital one. I don't know what happens re the US or Australian sites. I just edited my address "et voila".
  8. Basically, everyone has to work out for themselves if the package is worth it depending on how much you drink. Less than $500 for 26 nights for 2 people works out as less than $10 a day per person - not even the price of a cocktail!! So obviously a drinks package isn't needed. Me too. My kids range from 19 yrs old to mid 30s and they would all want a drinks package !! Chips off the old block πŸ™‚ . My wife and I are on the Tokyo - Vancouver crossing in May (first time Cunard). I would easily justify a drinks package but not my wife, so I have the same problem as GeorgianGal100. My wife does drink, but only a little - not enough to justify the package. I look at it this way. A package would cost us $2,240 for the cruise - so all we have to do is spend less than that and we're out on top πŸ™‚ .
  9. Apologies for the scare. I had relied on everybodies experience so much that I had never actually read the "rules". Thank you for the reassurance πŸ™‚ .
  10. I see from the UK site there is a new 1 bottle wine/champagne limit for personal stateroom use. It says : You may bring one bottle of wine or champagne on board to enjoy within your stateroom. You are welcome to buy alcohol ashore as a gift or souvenir, which will be held for the duration of your cruise, and returned to you when you disembark. Here's the link: https://www.cunard.com/en-gb/the-cunard-experience/what-to-pack#seadays Look under "What not to pack for a cruise". I will be a first-time Cunard cruiser in a couple of months and I have understood from many past posts that there was virtually no limit to the mount of wine/champagne and/or spirits that one could bring on board for personal use. Any ideas anyone?
  11. Just to say "Hi" - I'm also on the Japan/Alaska/Vancouver trip (very excited) and I also chose a deck 7 cabin for the very same reason - balcony in my case, although the upgrade fairy never visited πŸ™‚ . Hope it all works out for you.
  12. Marvellous !!! Bon voyage and enjoy πŸ‘Œ
