Hi there...

    I just booked one of these balconies also...very excited...It's the first time at the front of the ship...I did notice afterward tho...that the lower part of the balcony is steel...not clear glass so you would need to be standing for the view....something to consider.

I am also hoping to go on the Mardi Gras July 10th...I got an Elite deal too but I don't think it will sail....so disappointing!

We will be going also next week...One website stated there were no day passes and that the facilities were open to anyone purchasing food and beverages..We would prefer the day pass also...May I ask what the cost is for a day pass?

Hi there....there are two formal nights...and an all white night...also an Italian night...

I believe it was Punta lagosta...

The itinerary was pretty amazing but I can honestly say I would not Cruise with MSC again...ship time was very stressful...and not what a vacation should be...I hope this was helpful....if you have already booked...you will enjoy your ports !!! Find a quiet spot on the upper deck...sip your drinks and make the best of it as we did....cheers.....Deb and Wade

Ok..I posted a long review but will try to condense it for you...I have cruised 14 times and have never experienced a cruise like this....the ship was nice...on a smaller scale....very clean...the food was typical...we really enjoyed the dinners in the restaurants...except very loud...as everyone seemed to be trying to talk louder than the next....the ports were the saviour...Havana is beautiful!!! You have 2 days...explore ...we took a taxi...1953 Ford Victoria...pink converable and had a nice tour and lunch for 50 pesos....Jamaica is very laid back...and there are several companies off port willing to take you on a day tour for approx 100 us....grand Cayman is absolutely my favourite beach port...7 mile beach is a local bus ride away for 2.50 us or a taxi for 5 us per person...you can hang there and just enjoy the beach...it's heavenly ...Cozumel...we got a tour from "island marketing" on line before we left...I would highly recommend it...a tour in your own Volkswagen buggy ...takes you right around the island with several stops...and your guide will prepare you a traditional Mexican lunch with fresh salsa and guacamole ...was awesome!!! Our guide was Omar ...if you could get him you would be ever so lucky...he is very professional and fun...and will mould your tour to your liking.....it cost 74 us pp...best money we spent on this trip ....and on my last note....please be prepared for your sea days and ship time...the majority of passengers are European...I would say the ship was 90% ...and 10 % Canadian....loud...aggressive and absolutely no social skills...or maybe it's just the culture...not sure but it was overwhelming...the Buffett and pool deck was total chaos...the bartenders and servers worked so incredibly hard but never seemed to keep everyone happy......my advice...get breakfast early...and wait a bit to get off the ship or you will be trampled...and be ever so grateful for the allegrissimo package...it's a saviour!

New to this ...what would you like to know?

Hi there...just got back...wrote a review as I thought it was necessary ...should be posted soon...what would you like to know...Deb
