Two Wheels Only

Challenge Accepted.🤪

I didn't want the OP to get confused since the OP is asking about Meraviglia.

It's the smallest/least deep aft-facing Haven balcony. Breakaway/Getaway match as far as size and configuration. The person who made the video didn't know what "huge" really is. There's no real secret to get to the Haven. It's either forward then up or up then forward. I prefer to walk forward then go up via the forward elevators.

No numerical limit but the bartender will cut you off if you've obviously had too much. If you wake up at 8am and want a drink every 1/2 hour until midnight (or later), go for it.

NCL could revoke the beverage package without refund AND charge for ALL drinks that were ordered with the package...even the legit drinks that were NOT shared. This has been reported by different people on the forum who have witnessed the package being revoked. Nobody has posted a video of it happening but if I ever see it......I'll post it. 🤣 NCL could also kick the guest off of the ship at the next port without a refund. Someone could drive 50mph over the speed limit and end up in jail. Someone could drive 50mph over the speed limit and just get a ticket. Someone could drive 50mph over the speed limit and just get a warning. Someone could drive 50mph over the speed limit and not get caught. With NCL, something could happen but it is impossible to know what will happen no matter what other people have experienced.

Meraviglia doesn't have an Owner's Suite but the Royal Suite does have a separate tub in addition to a shower.

I prefer Bimini Beach (left side of the map image) to the lagoon. On one trip, I swam across the lagoon and back and I was exhausted....seriously out of shape and a bit dehydrated. ☹️ At certain times, there is a bit of seaweed in the lagoon so that's another reason why I prefer Bimini. A Yacht Club guest can easily travel to either location so it's probably best to explore and see which is better for them. There are still beaches on the island that I have never set foot on. I plan to explore more on my next trip.

Not far. The ocean view cabanas face the big rocks (the grey ring in the top left) but you can walk "down" to Bimini Beach.

I would book the ocean view Yacht Club cabana for the service but would walk to Bimini beach for the softer sand. Even when we've had an ocean front Yacht Club cabana, we've walked around and enjoyed Bimini beach.

Since you seem to have done your homework, I'm confident that you are booked on one of the better decks. Which deck and configuration did you pick?

At least with the game, one side will actually win.

Drink sharing? "NCL should let things slide..." Chair Hogging? "NCL should enforce their rules..."

On the NCL site, I can select the stateroom (3 people) before I enter the age of the guests. I can select either type of stateroom When booking on the NCL site, the age is assumed to be adult until otherwise corrected to a child's age. If adding the FAS promos, the amount is corrected after the ages are entered. Could that be why you were given different amounts?

Here's as example of a walk-in. The floor can be slippery, though.

Are you trying to book staterooms that are next to each other? In many cases, a M4 (blue) is next to a MA (red). It has nothing to do with sleeping arrangements since either category can have the main bed split into 2 and the 3rd person can sleep on the sofa bed. The age of the guest doesn't matter. Which deck/stateroom(s) are you trying to get?

Which ship(s) are you considering?

^^ The ones that sleep 5 will look like this...possibly mirrored left to right.

^^ That's a forward-facing Family Oceanview. It only sleeps 4. It's one of the **700 staterooms on Joy.

As you walk in, the bathroom will either be on the left or the right. As you continue to walk, there will be a bed which can either be combined into one bed or split into two beds. Next will be a curtain that separates the bed from the living room. A sofa bed that can sleep one or be extended for 2 will be near the window. Above the sofa bed will be a pull man bed in the ceiling. Both sleeping areas have a TV.

Was there any alcohol involved? 🥴

If you log into MSC with your MSC account and click on MSC Voyagers Club, you'll see "My Past Cruises point details" with the points for each cruise. It might not exactly add up to your total but it will give you an idea of how many points that you received for each cruise.

Even on land, one Starbucks might not have items that another Starbucks has. It happens.

Were the children wearing diapers or potty trained? That could have been the problem because diapers/untrained babies aren't allowed in the pool and even though you were using your own "pool", that potentially fecal-contaminated water could have ended up in the actual pool. Where was the bucket being dumped?

As a Yacht Club guest, you will get the internet. The cabana that you had previously booked is less expensive than the Yacht Club cabana so it seems that they refunded the original one and it is up to you if you want a Yacht Club one. The specialty dining should have stayed as it was. I've also purchased a dining package even though I was a Yacht Club guest so it's perfectly fine to have both. Perhaps they feel that you will no longer want the package and refunded it.
