I wanted to purchase some heavy duty luggage tags to put the paper tags from msc in. Does anyone know the width and length of the paper ones that come with our etickets?

I got my tickets today and it says my embarkation time is 2pm. I want to board at noon so I can relax(God knows I need to). Is that possible?

WHen my family and I went on a Disney Cruise, we decorated our door to help my small child find our roomeasier. I think it would be fun to do the same thing here. Is it possible? If so, would a magnet work on the doors or are they not metal? Thank you.

I was under the impression that in the main dining rooms tap water, coffee, tea and juice were included with our meals. Am I wrong in assuming that that is true?

Just a clarification please....May I bring some snacks in my suitcase for my room? I prefer healthy snacks like dried fruit and vegetables and nuts.

Is there a laundry room for guests to use? A laundromat? If so, where on ship and prices. Thank you.

Nassau isn't great. But if you haven't been there yet, by all means, go ashore. Can't help you with the beach. Atlantis is a cheap cab ride. It has Beverly Hill$ type $hopping, a casino, and water park. The stores are a block or two from the ship on Bay street. The Straw market is a little off to the right of the pier. The folks in the straw market can be pushy, but I didn't feel unsafe or threatened. They start talking to you, and bank on the fact that you won't be rude and just walk away, which is of course what you need to do. I speak a little German, so I just responded to them in German, and no one bugged me because they didn't speak it.

 

Try this: Ich kannst (pronounced like Con, not can) du nicht verstehen (fer-sctay-en) "I can't understand you."

 

Or you can keep it simple "Das dink ist nicht for gefingerpoken" German sounding gibberish. ;)

HI Steve, Danke for your comment. It's funny that you mentioned German. I happen to speak fluent German and have used it on many occasions to get out of a tough situation!!! LOL Lived in AUSTRIA for 15 years and there I used to use english when someone would approach me and ask me questions etc. A second language does come in handy. I only hope that if I use it the other party doesn't speak it also! LOL

I know that htere is a thread somewhere on here about the internet but I cannot find the one that I am looking for....

If my son gets the Social cruise and Streamer day can I also use my phone to use whatsapp of only him? TY

I will be on the Divina in July 2016. We stop in Nassau and have no excursions planned. We were thinking of a day of shopping and going to the beach. Is that possible? Are beaches right there by the port.walking distance etc. Any suggestions ?

I have questions about the themed nights....(white night, 70's night and Italian night). Are we to wear the appropriate garb to dinner or is there a special party in the evening?Clarification please. Thanks.

Looking at all of the insurance options and it is so confusing! I have no idea what to do. I guess I will call an agent to see what they think is necessary to cover. Anyone have any comments or suggestions?

Thank you for the well wishes. This is the first real vacation I will have had in 5 years!

Here is what we got:

Private tour for 4 persons for $120( that's $30 per person)

Includes pickup and drop off...guide stays with you the whole day.sightseeing, shopping and whichever excursions you choose(you pay those fees separate)

We chose THE BLUE HOLE AND SECRET FALLS $15 per person and

Lunch($10) at Scotchies(authentic jamaican food). We wanted something relaxing and this fit the bill. So it turns out to be $55 per person. Your guide picks you up 30 minutes after docking and brings you back 45 minutes before leaving or earlier if requested. I just sent him an email asking about pricing and he asked me what we were interested in. They customize your tour for you! Good luck! ($22down payment required to hold reservation. The rest to be paid after tour is completed in cash)

First off, I did a lot of research and questioning people. After collecting the information, we decided to do a private tour with MARVYNS PARADISE TOURS. I wrote several emails with questions an he always got back to me quickly. This tour company has a very good reputation and comes highly recommended. I set up a private tour(which you can design any way you want) and you have pickup and dropoff included as well as a personal guide that stays with you the whole time. Just look him up on Google and take a look. For pricing you must email him. Good luck!

Thank you for clearing that up.

I am booking our vouchers andinternet packages today. I want to buy 1 Doremi package and 1 Coffee cuddle package. Each are voucher only packages. My question is this: can anyone use them and if there are 2 people in the room do I have to buy 2 or can I buy what I want and use how I want? ALso, internet says per person but my son is the only one who will be using the internet. So if I use his name do I have to pay too? How many devices can be used? My son has a phone for the social media and a tablet for internet. Thank you.

Has anyone done a private excursion in Ocho Rios? Thinking of doing a private tour with Marvyns Paradise tours. Comments?

First time on Divina in July and wondering what offers there are onboard for entertainment. Like karaoke, bongo, trivia etc.

I am so confused about what insurance I need for my trip. I went on insuremytrip.com and was surprised about how many choices there are. ANy help is appreciated. I want to cover the cost of the trip if I have to cancel, emergency evacuation if there is an accident, baggage loss, medical if I am injured....I think thats it. I have private insurance but I dont know what that would cover abroad. Please help.

Thank you for the info. I definitely want to do the xrail thing. The tips were good as well. Thank you. May I ask another question? When you get dirty, are there facilities to clean up and where would you put your things while on the xrails? Are there lockers? And if you break down do they replace your vehicle promptly?

I am getting ready to book an excursion. I need help!! I am VERY confused about these 2 offerings in Cozumel. THE ATV and BEACH ADVENTURE and the XRAILS to JADE CAVERNS The video that is shown on the MSC website for the ATV beach adventure shows the XRAILS vehicles and the XRAILS video shows the people on ATVs. Is this just a mistake in the video placement? WE want to ride the dune buggy like vehicles not the motocycle like ATV's!!! ANy help appreciated and any comments about experiences with excursions. Thank you.

So, are the items on that list available to bring home or not? Duty free?

I actually was booking my extras today and what I quoted was exactly what was on the page. Hmmmm. So confused.....

I am confused about the internet packages aboard the Divina. The SOCIAL CRUISE package "Social Cruise: Access to social networks, chat apps for the entire cruise, with unlimited MB (No Audio and Video) " Would this include use of WHATS APP? ANyone who would know please respond. Also, the STREAMER DAY package "Streamer Day: Full Internet access including Audio and Video for 24h up to 340 MB " is this good for just a day of skyping family? WOuld the 340 MB be enough? Thanks for any help. Cruising July 23 aboard the Divina.

Are older children allowed to accompany an adult in the disco and also may they sit at a table in the piano bar with family? Are they allowed in the casino(not gambling of course, just watching)? Child is 12 going on 30.
