OMG! I never said all! I said most! Diamond on MSC and if you are not in the Yacht Club drink service is very slow. Been Cruising MSC since 2009.

I believe the reduction of space in the OL began with the Prima. The Viva is also the same as the Prima. NCL uses the OL for many functions and restricts passenger usage during all times.

This happens on almost all cruise lines today. Staff have been cut back. People disregard times, too. Happy Cruising on any Cruise Line!

Why not be more explicit on your positives? 'Extremely upscale, modern ship design with good food, drinks, and service.' TIA

FYI to all.

Thank you. I appreciate your answers. If you would have said this before your other posting, I would have accepted it without my comments. Happy Cruising & Happy New Year!

The new HH. DOES 2 or 3 nights in a Central Location only apply to the Central Location? The other nights excluding embarkation night and the night of the Sr Officer you can still get HH at the bars? If not, they reduced HH by 3 nights on a 7 day cruise and more on 8 or greater day cruises.

So, what do you pay? Before you could get all: tips, Classic pkg & WiFi. Now, they cut out tips & you only get Classic & WiFi.

We all know. They are On vacation so price doesn't matter. LOL

$84 per day is more than HH. Enjoy rolling!

What are the new Happy Hours, places & frequency? I just viewed a video that stated on 3 to 7 day cruises there are 2 HH nights. On 8 day or more there are 3.

Do ships still match prices? They use to! My experience: ships totally overpriced! I found this on another site. FYI:

What are the additional perks you would get? What is the difference in the cost? Would you use the additional perks? Identify the above and then determine if it is worth the additional cost. Only you can determine that.

Totally agree with you. We were on the Enchanted out of Barcelona and we had Anytime dining. We had the same table for 2 by the window with the same waiter for 22 days. On the other side of that MDR was the Reserve Dining. We walked over there one night to see what the difference was. We could see no difference. Maybe they had one extra item on the menu for that Reserve Dining. However, we never had a problem with any of the food selections without the one extra item. When we walked out of the Reserve Dining we did see a line of people waiting to get in. That was about 6 - 630PM. Even in the morning and lunch time, we saw people waiting to get into the Reserve Dining. JMHO!
