Bought some shares back when it hit $19 a share. Been on 6 RCL cruises and have got 13 more (7 day cruises) to go. Then those first 100 shares are "FREE". For CCL stock we would only need 9 cruises to break even. CCL at todays prices you would only need 7 cruises (7 day or three 14+ day cruises) to break even on 100 shares.

I have only been able to create one log in for 2,3 or 4 device package. First person will long in and create password. Then wifi internet will work for how ever many devices you purchased for. Ie 2 device package 2 devices at once, 3 device will let 3 devices be logged in at once.

That is what I tried and was told. Figured out pretty quickly that priority was not working on Seashore. Definitely worked on Seaside last time we were on her.

We received one bottle of liquor per room per cruise this past July. When did this change to one bottle per guest in cabin? We also filled out the pre cruise questionnaire and it was a waste of time. Had to fill out form onboard with our choices. Out of the 15 day cruise I got printed newspaper probably 5 times.

Well the no shorts was strictly enforced on my B2B sailings this past summer.

Yes, in Miami the following Saturday. Mr. Bala found me at 8am in the dining room having breakfast and confirmed luggage was with MSC and waiting to be brought onboard. At least we all had fresh clothes for the second week.

We sailed Seashore this past June/July on a B2B. We made it to the port of Miami but our luggage did not. United said they would deliver luggage before ship left. Concierge and YC director (Mr. Bala) were on the lookout for our luggage. Needless to say, our luggage did not make it with all our clothes. We were informed that we could show up for dinner in YC restaurant this evening. But were told that we would not be able to eat in restaurant if we did not have long pants and shoes. We were informed by our butler. The second night which our butler brought dinner from YC restaurant to eat in our rooms. The 3rd day we were able to buy dress slacks and shoes in Ochos Rios and able to eat in restaurant. Do you know how hard it is to find dress slacks in a Caribbean port city? Unfortunately my exerience was that the no shorts policy was strictly enforced and even though it was no fault of mine, I was not given an exemption to policy. Wonder what has changed in the past couple months with the dress code polict? Different restaurant manager, YC director, Hotel Director??

On Seashore YC this past June/July each person, including my son, got 2 devices each week. Maybe different on other ships?

I just received the last check for the June/July cruises that my mom had to cancel due to Covid. First check arrived last week sept 21 and the check for the following cruise arrived exactly a week later yesterday. Now to deposit both checks and hope that they are not marked return to maker.

I mentioned that it was easy to get into SL on Oasis class as one of the concierges are there or go through CK. It is hard to get into SL on non Oasis class ships as your seapass is on the cabin door. Not like in years past when you would get your seapass at terminal.

We got one bottle per week per cabin. Yes it was a litre size bottle of whiskey. You could also choose gin, vodka and boubon for hard liquors.

Just off Navigator a couple weeks ago. Lugguage was at our cabin door by 3pm. Seems like the bring up carts of lugguage and stack them by service elevator. Then when they have a bunch of lugguage it gets brought to cabin doors.

How would you get in the Suite Lounge without a key card on non Oasis class ships? Your key to access the SL is on your door. For Oasis class I have found the concierge to be at desk or access through CK. Other ships, I have personally never seen a concierge at their desk on boarding day.

Yes you will. A dinner, chocolate something, MSC gift and a bottle of Brut.

I have been waiting on covid refund for my mom since beginning of July. MSC keeps saying refund is approved and to just wait a few weeks.

The filet in YC was very good the 2 weeks we were on Seashore in June/July. I would say slightly better than BC filet we had. Definitely better cut of meat on Seashore (2022) than on Seaside(2019). On Seaside, BC filet was better than YC restaurant. MSC YC filet was better than the Royal filet I had last week.

Talking to a couple last cruise that did a Royal Up. They were booked in a balcony and bid on Royal Up to Grand Suite. Got notification they won their bid. When they got to their cabin it was a Junior Suite. Guest services could not switch them and told couple that they have to take their problem up with the vendor that administers Royal Up. They did tell me they have disputed charge with credit card company. I have never done a Royal Up as the TA I use does not participate. Asking you experienced Royal Up cruisers, the bids are very cabin specific. It is not like when you book guarantee that there is one that is JS and better and then another one that is grand suite or better (WS)?

On Seashore this past June/July we got 2 devices per person. There was 3 of us in a YC1.

Did MSC add spigot to wash sand off your feet close to club house?? I mentioned this to Robert and he said that was in the works. When you get off the beach, you can rinse near the cabanas. Then feet get all sandy again walking to clubhouse.

We are doing mostly Navigator (on a B2B right now). Unfortunately Hurricane Kay has us just floating off US/Mexico border. Just enough to open shops and casino. And will be back on Navigator in about a month. The 7 day sailings are getting harder to find and mostly going to 3/4 day cruises on Navigator. We are right now doing 5 day cruises and the feel of ship is more party atmosphere. Fine, but just different than 6+ night cruises. Take care and happy cruising

Well I have a TA that is responsive but you get a little less OBC. Enjoy your cruise on Seashore. We had a great 14 nights on her. If you have time we are sailing MSC Citavechi June 9-16 and then Genoa June 18-25 2023. Also RCCL Brilliance last Alaska cruise Sept 17-24 then Sept 24 to Hawaii. Would be nice to sail with you and Jose again. Then spend a few a week in Hawaii. Prices are really good a few weeks ago. Problem is that cruises are on the other side of the US for you. What about your plans.

? Send me an email or call. I use a TA that gives about 8-9% back in obc. I am waiting for an email from someone on CC that their TA gives more than that amount. How was your cruise on Seashore? We had a great 15 days on her. I think grandma's are now spoiled by the service and food.

Yes, we enjoyed it a few days. Most people did not know it was there, even Aurea guests. It is a little Oasis with no one in area except your private bartender. But of course you have to walk the 10 steps to bar to get another drink as there is no butler service. I found the Casita to be more comfortable than the YC one.

On Navigator and we got $9.27 each because port fees went down. It was unexpected as we have had times of missed ports with no refund.

On Royal right now. No Chopin but have Ben drinking up the Belvedere. Also has Titos but I can buy that for under $30 a 1.75 litter bottle at Costco. Plus Costco at home does not carry Belvedere. We have great tastes in vodka.
