On recent US sailings a can of soda was $3.50, they used to be $3.25 from the minibar but that may have gone up. Non alcoholic covers much more than soda. This Package Includes: Non-alcoholic cocktails Fresh fruit cocktails and protein shakes Energy sports drinks Flavored water Fruit juice (by the glass & bottled) Sodas (by the glass & bottled) Wide range of hot drinks (coffees) Soft ice cream ETA: Also bottled waters.

Video from sister ship Poesia. I've not been on these ships but on similar ships have experienced noise from the lounge below until their closing hour. Usually quiet in the mornings.

Deposits for non Yacht Club bookings in North America are generally refundable up to final payment date. Cons to booking now: The current US inclusive offers, sales and OBC offers are not great. A cancellation and rebook usually requires another deposit while the first deposit may take a few weeks to get back to your account. Pros to booking now: In addition to the extra 5% the availability of better cabin locations might be less later on.

I've been in YINs on Meraviglia class, both deck 14 (lowest YC deck) and 16 ("main" YC deck). MV+ class is very similar. It felt a little disconnected on 14 but it's a quick YC dedicated elevator ride up to the lounge, restaurant and pool. Definitely preferred deck 16 for ease of access to YC public areas. I'd expect World ships to be similar but since no YINs on higher decks.... Those non-YC interiors on World class decks 18 to 21 are separated from the YC facilities and are only able to look through a few key card controlled glass entry doors at the stairwell/elevator lobby end of the hallways. YC guests on those decks will likely not even know they exist.

Or an adequately sized Yacht Club dining room....

The YIN cabins on decks 15/16 are in the YC areas. One of the Royal Suites is right next to the YINs on deck 16, Owners Suite is nearby also. B2B_TA_2023-EU-TechGuide.pdf

In general Yacht Club ship management doesn't like the YC interior cabins. I've been told they were originally created for older children of YC balcony guests and they didn't expect their popularity with adults. There's seven YC interior cabins (category YIN) on the World ships, deck 15/16.

1. There are no elevators in the aft area of Meraviglia, those midship ones are the closest for passengers and quite a walk from the aft cabins. 2. No cocktails are included without a drinks package. 8. The Aurea sun deck is nothing special on Meraviglia, just less crowded and has a hot tub overlooking the main pool area. There is no dedicated bar and bar service is often limited.

Simply by entering different numbers of passengers you can see there's plenty of connecting cabins available on your sailing. For further out sailings MSC is going to push you to cabins that exactly match your occupancy when possible. Usually a knowledgeable phone agent knows how to view all available cabins and can override the minimum passenger requirements MSC has temporarily set for the cabins. I'd keep calling until you get an agent that knows how to work with the system. Below pics are with four passengers and with two passengers selected. I don't like using a travel agent but a knowledgeable one should be able to book this also. It is possible MSC will initially refuse to book the three passengers into a cabin with four berths. But as sail date approaches they usually relax that policy. They are already allowing two passengers in cabins that accommodate more.

By the looks/pattern of which cabins the MSC website is showing as available I'm thinking for various reasons MSC is holding cabins back from your online view. Have you tried calling and talking to a MSC phone agent about getting connected cabins? My bet is they will accommodate you. You will have to book one adult in each cabin, and cost wise it will likely be best for one child to be in each cabin.

The old Customer Service email seems to now go unanswered so I won't give that one. For a final invoice or feedback on a cruise you have already taken email : postcruisesupport@msccruisesusa.com For Voyager's Club inquiries email : mscvoyagersclub@msccruisesusa.com

The only cabins I know of that have six berths are the Two Bedroom Grand Suites on Seaside and Plus ships. There are also what MSC used to call Family Balconies but technically these are two or three connected cabins.

MSC originally touted the wrist bands as a means to track children around the ship. They also have alluded to using them around the ship for targeted messages. I don't think the idea got a good reception so MSC hasn't pushed those features, but I'm pretty sure the newer ships have RFID scanners/readers placed in the public areas.

Are you trying to do the status match or just register? It's possible you already have a Voyagers Club number, try logging in to the full account using your email address and look at your VC section. If you are trying to status match have you used this page? https://www.msccruisesusa.com/manage-booking/msc-voyagers-club/status-match

GPS is short for Global Positioning System that uses satellites for geolocations, no cruise ship wristband or medallion can do this. Cruise lines use RFID, Radio Frequency Identification, chips to track people only while on the ships.

I posted the menu in this thread. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/3016838-ocean-cay-food/#comment-67603320

I'd be more interested if they made the included drinks package Premium Extra like on UK bookings.

It's only four dollars more for internet on the September 8th sailing.

For US bookings there is still a daily service charge added to your on board account. It is discretionary. https://www.msccruisesusa.com/manage-booking/before-you-go/service-charges

That class ship usually has a specialty restaurant midship on deck 15 next to the disco area. I thought it was like on her sister ships and called Galaxy Sushi but I now see no mention of any restaurant in that location. Some changes might be happening, hopefully someone can update. If it is still Galaxy Sushi here's a menu. MENU_KAITO_GALAXY_FOOD_ENG.pdf

I'm sure she will be along soon to answer any questions but here's a trip report Jamie did from her studio balcony on a similar ship. Similar cabin video:

It's less so than in the past. Just a few years ago it was unusual for a sailing to have more than a couple unsold YC cabins a few months before sailing. Now pick almost any sailing a month or so out and you will find lots of available YC cabins, even the YC Interiors are often still available. There's evidently lots of people finding YC prices not that reasonable. MSC has gone the way of overpricing YC and bidding off all the unsold cabins. I stopped booking NCL for the same reason.

Where are you sailing from? Here's the Sports Bar menu for most US sailings. SPORTS-BAR-LIST.pdf

There are cracks starting to show caused by MSC's ever increasing YC prices. It used to be every YC interior was scooped up almost immediately but I'm seeing more and more sailings where they are going unsold. At $4K per week I'm not surprised. It also used to be every YC balcony filled pretty fast but that's not happening either. Plenty of bidding opportunities is the current way MSC is filling the Yacht Club.

While vomit will cause the pool to shut down for cleaning at least it's fairly obvious and others will likely evacuate quickly. Vomit doesn't usually have any pathogens in it. Strained baby poop is less noticeable and can contain parasites like Crypto and bacteria like Giardia, Cholera, Shigella, and E. coli. Those can be deadly to anyone using the pool after your baby's strained poop is left in there. You are putting anyone who later uses that pool at serious risk by taking a baby in the water.
