It's open by cabin 18001. You have to walk over to the starboard side to be seated.

Curious if any of your MSC cruises have sailed from outside of the US. I think we all agree that tipping is accepted wholeheartedly on cruises from US ports. We have found it a bit more frowned upon overseas. I've had tips refused on board in Europe. You can hardly get envelopes at the YC concierge desk overseas, but they are readily available at YC concierge desks from US ports. I think Sealynx is not guilty of a falsehood. His statement is a more accurate description of expectations in Europe. I mean, here in the U.S, we tip everyone including bartenders, restaurant servers, etc. If you are in Ireland or England, for example, you would never be able to have a barman take a tip. You can get around that by having him or her take a a drink for themselves when you order a round. My point is, I would encourage you to be more understanding and a bit kinder in your reaction to what Sealynx offered as their observation.

If you get recent ones, they would be from the Med. Since they have been using standardized menus for cruises out of Florida, you may just want to look at Divina or Seashore menus.

To answer your question water and cost, in the last few cruises, we have had distilled water left in the room daily, and there was no charge.

To chime in, for a cruise we have booked more than nine months out, the $50 OBJ shows under my name, but only me. My DW (also Diamond) does not show an OBC line item. The Pax Type in the booking remarks is correct: Voyagers Exclusives. It's not a deal breaker, but OBC for both passengers is the norm, based on past experience.
