As a point of reference, last year's Europe came out Nov 17, 2015. Who knows what this means for this year.
-
We are booked on this cruise in May 2017. Thanks for the great preview!
-
Unlike some other lines, no pre-registration is required. It will be held whether there are 5 people there, or 50. You might want to mention it on your roll call, because many people overlook it.

Cruise critic.com get together is usually held on first sea day at 11 am in the Silver Lounge. It will be listed in the Dailies under activities. You will meet with officers who will interact, wanting to know what things you like, dislike and what MSC can improve. Snacks and drinks will be served.

MSC's app (like Royals "Royal IQ" app) is free while on board. Surprised to hear that NCL charges for theirs.

Paper vouchers that anyone can use. Don't lose them!

We had an aqua room booked on the Equinox for this November and cancelled it to try MSC Yacht Club instead. It ended up being cheaper than the AQ on Celebrity. Looking forward to our cruise.

My book club is reading this as our October selection.

try this thread to get an idea of what others have said about the comparisons. I have not been in NCL Haven so can't answer any questions.

Miami Chillin.....great find!
-
There are lots of threads on here where people have contrasted the differences between NCL Haven and YC. A quick search should give you all the information you're looking for.
-
Drink package cheaper if prepaid before boarding.
Phillipsburg: Take water taxi from port to town, nice beach right there where you get off along the boardwalk. Believe it is $7 round trip and you can take as many round trips as you like.
Nassau: get off boat, hang a right and beach is only a few hundred meters down (beach has restaurants, bars etc.)
San Juan: No beach within walking distance from port. Sorry!

I've also booked, then saw a sale and called and got the sale price and they just rebooked me in the same room (at the lower price).

Unfortunately, RCL's laundry benefit is not nearly as good as Celebrity's. For Diamond, it is now $10 off a $30 bag of Wash N Fold. I think you now need to be D+ to get a free bag. I remember when I was Platinum on Royal and we got $5 off the Wash N Fold which was only $25 back then, so my benefits have not really increased at all with laundry services.

We booked the 2017 Iceland cruise as soon as it was available, which was last November, the week before Thanksgiving. At that time, costs were more reasonable, but since they deemed it a President's Cruise, prices went up about $600 per person for the oceanview that we booked. So I would look for this November for 2018's cruise to be available and at a lesser cost than what is showing for the 2017 trip.
Hope that helps!

FWIW, we have used RCCL visa points OBC on 2 cruises. On the first it was listed as NON refundable credit and on the second cruise it was listed as refundable. So check your onboard statement!
-
FWIW, when I filled out the online MSC status match application, I waited for weeks to hear back. I finally called them and a very nice lady sent me an email with an application and I sent back our info directly to her and had our status match the next day.
Also when I booked the Seaside directly with MSC I waited for a week to get our confirmation. I then called, they pulled it up and e-mailed it to me while I was on the phone with them.
You need to keep following up with MSC I have found.

Divina is scheduled to leave the US in spring 2018 and then return the following fall. I think this must be for 2018!
-
Hi, can anyone tell me if RCL still offers free laundry at all for Diamond and up members? Don't see anything listed under benefits on C&A page. Thanks!
-
Just checked my booking since final payment is coming up soon, to see that the price has dropped. You may want to check your booking to see if you can save a few dollars!

Had same problem yesterday trying to book. Get to insurance page and it will let you look at policy but not add it. Called them and was told they are in process of negotiating rates with insurance company so they don't have prices right now.
-
Thanks so much for this wonderful review. We booked the same cruise for 2017 late last year and are looking forward to it. Now even more so!
-
We are also trying Divina YC for the first time this fall. Looking forward to the new experience. Thanks so much for yor review!

What a downer! We booked the Seaside for February 2018 and were really excited about the private island stop. Heck, I don't even remember the rest of the itinerary, but now I'm going to have to look and see if we will cancel or not.
