  1. Unfortunately being new to MSC this was not clear since the ad said included, not available as an upgrade. I guess I live an learn.
  2. So last night I purchased a cruise on seashore, since this add below was on the front msc which it still is. We purchased the "best" not the best value. So I get told today that its not included, is that correct? I don't see any details on this ad. Thanks in advance.
  3. So I made the switch over to MSC since they match my other cruiseline to gold status. We know very little about MSC but watching videos online I seem to be happy with the reviews I see. I trying to understand the booking process with the different upgrades, such as "best value". Which includes the includes wifi and drink package. Is this wifi / drink for both PAX ? Any help MSC on these details will be very helpful.
  4. While we seen this before several years ago. Now that some ships are using LNG will those Pax be effected by the Diesel upcharge?
  5. I noticed the same thing. Was looking for a sailing in June for my daughter and son-in-law to join us. The inside was 4250. We paid 2100 for a extended balcony several months ago. Hoping its a website issue.
  6. I have not seen these specials as of late. But I am platinum and receive the free bags. But the bags are smaller that hotel bags. But if you are creative and fold and roll you will be surprise how much you can get in the Carnival laundry bags.
  7. I would not depend on streaming. Their satellites only have so much bandwidth. We were able to wifi text and read emails with no issues.
  8. My daughter had to cancel which we paid the deposit, with gift card, Plus some payments were made by gift cards. They sent me the deposit by a physical new gift card. Payment balance by e-gard.
  9. We always try to get the spa rooms. Our reason is location and fewer folks on the area of the rooms, pending on which ship, thus don't get the runners issues in the halls. We enjoy the much more quite rooms, etc.
  10. WE DO NOT miss the muster drill. My kids at 7 and 8 begged me not to go because it was so nasty and hot. Love the selections of quick food such as guys burgers etc. Don't missed the smaller ships and feeling every wave.
  11. We get a spa room when ever we can. We were on the spa balcony on deck 12. We like it as the floor doesn't seem to have the extra noise in the halls etc. Plus the location helps to be closer to the areas which are important to us. If you have a chance for a spa room, any of them, go for it.
  12. We were on the vista, sister ship in Oct, we headed on horizon in a few weeks. There several area we discovered. As you Enter the Havana area (public area) before the bar there lots of private 4 chairs and tables. We also found chairs in the shade and umbrellas outside of the pig and anchor when it was not open was a nice area. Then the library is always a nice indoor spot.
  13. Some interesting points I look at on a "starter cruise". I don't look at the cruise condition for starter cruise as a price consideration. Other conditions can be but not limited to the length of the cruise, ports of call. Port which you leave from, for example leaving from the UK if you based in the US is not what a new cruise may do. Also the type of room you have, which can be price driven, but not always. There too many other variables other than price to make a cruise a starter cruise. I personally think a short cruise is a high consideration for a starter condition. I personally don't care for the short cruises anything less than 7 days. But everyone has different ideas and conditions. Everyone has there conditions or priorities which is good for them, that's right for their family.
  14. When were on the Vista class ships the doors, walls and ceilings all were magnetic. Not sure about the other newer ships. The some nice 100# magnetic hooks on amazon which worked very nice from doors to hanging items in your room.
  15. Is it possible to find another adult to go in DH spot, which could share it with your child? I think you need to pay a name change of $150 or something on that line.
