This!

Not true on Excel. You can eat at Cucina and Chibang for free one time even if you have set dining times. Not sure what the third one is that you are referring to.

If you have set dining time you have to wait until after 7:45 to go to any specialty restaurant. With anytime, you can go anytime (lol) Cucina and Chibang are free on Excel ships for the first visit only. You must try Emeril's if you choose Celebration. The food is fabulous and very minimal charge. Get the shrimp Po boy-it's yummy! Celebration is my all time favorite ship. Been on it 4x and going for a fifth in July. Have a great cruise!

Sailing in October and was able to book. Try a different browser.

We have sailed MSC twice, all were comped cruises from urcomped. Once in the yacht club and once in a Bella cabin. The yacht club experience on the Seaside was fabulous but I was not a fan of the food. However, food is subjective and someone else may have a different opinion. The service was beyond what I expected. The Bella experience on the Divina was okay but again, I was not thrilled with the food. We are booked in an Aurea Suite on the Seashore for Halloween and am looking forward to trying that. We are hoping the food has improved, but that will not make or break the cruise as we can always find something to eat. I have never experienced poor service from cabin attendants or servers. We did however, have a poor expereince ( on the Divina) with one of the matr'e d's in the MDR one night and I was sure to tell him (and his superior) he was in the wrong position as he did not have any customer service skills. I will say, their ships are beautiful. We have sailed many different lines. As you can see in my signature, we are Carnival loyalists (not cheerleaders) but are willing to try other lines for a change of pace. Happy cruising!

OMG SOOO darn cute!!! WOW 10 pages-late to the party but I'll be here..I'll be home after surgery tomorrow so I will have plenty of time to follow! Have a blast!!!!

Clearly they didn't think this one through! 😱

Okay....lol

Most Definetly! But Jeff is such a nice guy (and Patti is really sweet!) (my husband says my middle name is b***h.😝

I was just thinking the same!

Omg. I'm at work and can't stop laughing!!

And a really nice guy!!

Don't sell yourself short Vic...you're a great guy too!!

I believe they removed most of them quite a while back. They do have Heads-up hold'em tables.

lol! No Problem...you cant remember everyone! "Gerald"

Geeesh Jeff! It's about time! I've been waitin' on ya! I still can't see your pics on my work computer so I have to read this at home. (or sneak my ipad under my desk. hehehe.. It was a pleasure to meet you & Patti and of course the rest of the tribe. We had such a good time!

There were 105 Elite passengers on the last cruise this month.

I have sailed on many Elite cruises (not as one of them) and the casinos are always packed. People sit at the machines and tables before they open in order to play. If you are a late-nighter, you will find a seat or machine at that time. However, I will say, Ultras and premiers are much worse.

😱

We had the best meal of the week at Emerils!

Just off the Celebration. YTD is the best choice. However, the MDR is not great. You do check in on the app and it does tell you how long the wait is and they will hold your table for 10 minutes. We checked in for Cucina (free option on excel) and it was 50-60 minute wait. We ususally check to see the wait time (you can check before you commit of just cancel if its too long) while we are in the room getting dressed. The specialty restaurants are the best. As Jamman54 (who cruises quite often) has stated, he never goes to the MDR on Excel.

I won a ship on a stick!!!

The cruise was awesome and it was so much fun meeting the Tribe. Everyone was so nice, friendly and fun! We need to do another real soon!! Hope ya'll made it home safe and thank goodness for once (so far), I did NOT catch the cruise crud!! Once again, another great review by Megan!

We're here too! Where are you?
