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.

This was the last known status matching table, it's probably still close. Cunard is listed. Status Match_Conversion Table.pdf

I haven't been able to see my Voyagers Club area of the MSC website for years, it always errors. One thing that does work is if you have an active booking you can see your points total in the personal section of the MSC for Me app. Unfortunately it doesn't show individual cruises/points.

Officially Easy Plus purchased separately on a 7 day US based cruise is $61 per day. Gratuity is included if you purchase before the cruise. Lately MSC has been offering discounts up to 40% to some people, like the 30% off shown above. There's no consensus yet on who gets the offer. Pre cruise the speciality dining is offered in packages, except for the BC Chef's Table. You can book any individual speciality resturant once on the ship. A 15% gratuity will be added. Here's a few menus for pricing examples. OCEAN-CAY.pdf TEPPANYAKI.pdfBUTCHERS-CUT.pdfSUSHI.pdf

So did you have to leave your luggage out on the last night for it to be moved to the next cabin? Or were you able to leave it in the cabin? I've only done one non-YC to non-YC B2B in 2019 and the cabin steward told us to leave the luggage in our cabin and he moved it to our new cabin while we went through immigration. No luggage tags were given to us, although I did put on the ones I had printed just to be sure. For both our YC to non-YC B2Bs we did the same. Left the luggage in the cabin with our own tags. I can see having those in transit luggage tags being helpful but not if you have to leave it out the last night.

Your butler will pass it off to the cabin steward for your next cabin, it might get left outside if the butler can't find the new cabin's steward. You don't have to leave it out the night before. You should keep your personal items with you and they will let you wait in the Yacht Club until they get the word for you to go to the B2B meeting point. From there on you will follow the regular B2B process. ETA: It's likely you will need to get your next cruise card from guest services the last evening. Be sure to check off the ship with the old card and back on with the new card.

Here's the menu from Seaside late 2023. Looks similarly priced. TEPPANYAKI.pdf It's very rare to be allowed Teppanyaki as your Diamond meal. A few have reported they were allowed with a small upcharge, but I have not ever been allowed.

Just look at the prices of the few unique Divina sailings and they are still pretty well sold. I'd think MSC would take note but it seems they still don't have much interest in filling the demand for longer, more diverse itineraries.

There's a door and passage to the concierge lobby and over to grill area right across from 16021.

The port area where the ships dock is closed to pedestrian and most private traffic. They operate a port bus system that takes you to a transfer station just outside the port area, this can be time consuming. Google map Civitavechia Tranport Terminal. That's where some transfer companies will want to meet you. It's also where you can catch public transport. Fiumicino is about a 50 minute drive from the port. While I believe the MSC transfers to Fiumicino are allowed to be ship side I'd be concerned they might not guarantee to get you there for a 12:40 flight time. Doing the early self disembark combined with a private transfer company that has port entry permission is the only way I'd feel comfortable with that flight time. There are several shared transfer companies that do offer ship side pickup. Usually they require pre-booking but some will likely offer free spaces first come. They leave only once full with their booked people. So you would want to verify their ability to meet your time requirement. ETA: Verify your airline's closing time for checked luggage if you plan to use it.

I've been able to make that time for a flight. But I didn't trust the MSC shuttle nor try public or shared transport. I hired a private transfer that was allowed into the port terminal area and waiting shipside. Waiting on the port busses to get you over to the port transfer area takes too much time. Lots of information on the Italian ports forum. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/464-italy-ports/

MSC or your travel agent should email your Boarding Documents. Luggage tags and a health form to sign are included.

I've been told both yes and no. It's easy enough to make the reservation so I do.

This thread has information. Page three has several menus showing the dining experience inclusions. https://boards.cruisecritic.co.uk/topic/2955510-view-from-steerage-msc-euribia-13-20-august/

Because they are trying to indicate that you are getting both the basic Voyagers Club 5% discount plus the early booking 5% discount. It actually comes out to a little less than 10% off the cruise fare (not off the taxes). This got started because MSC used to offer Voyagers Club members varying discount percentages not based on when you booked. Some sailings only got the base Voyagers 5%, some sailings were called Voyagers Selection and got the additional 5% - thus the 5+5%. They also had some sailings that were 5+10% and 5+15% but those are gone for now. The old Voyagers Club gave Black status, now called Diamond, 20% off most any cruises.

Technically the Voyagers late disembark allows you remain in the cabin for one hour past the vacate time posted. However in Yacht Club this will be discouraged due to the short turnaround time of Yacht Club cabins. The new batch of YC passengers are eagerly waiting to board first and want their cabins ready ASAP.

Many of the Voyagers Diamond perks are already covered by Yacht Club perks. The one specialty dining you mentioned is extra, meaning not covered with if booking Yacht Club as a lower level. Additionally you will get a bottle of psossecco, some chocolate bars, a gift such as a hat or small satchel, a dance class and invitation to the Voyagers gatherings, a free photo, various discounts around the ship, etc.... The full list is easily found. https://www.msccruisesusa.com/manage-booking/msc-voyagers-club/members-benefits

No more than on any other MSC ships. Meraviglia class all have doors from the YC area to the main elevator lobby on deck 14 that are frequently left open because there's a lot of staff/officers going to the bridge areas. On all the ships there is a simple way to bypass those glass YC sliding doors and lots of people seem to know how. You just have to trust the YC staff will weed them out. But I do feel this will be harder on these ships with very large numbers of YC passengers.

Not if you have to pay for them. Butcher's Cut has decent steaks but lacks ambiance, Yacht Club restaurant will have options of equal quality. Galaxy Sushi has medium to low quality seafood but has a nice view/atmosphere. Nicer view and better bar service in Top Sail longe.

Your description of the food was helpful, seems similar to the food on the other ships. Did you like the overall restaurant atmosphere better than the ones on MV and SS ships? Was it ever busy?

OBC is given in the currency that the ship is using. Example: 50 Eur/Usd or 40 Gbp for Voyagers Club when booking at least nine months out.

Because it's a remnant from early Covid-19 and really has little purpose now. Most people will start their own review thread or post it in the reviews section of Cruise Critic.

Are you going to try the Oriental Palace restaurant? Interested as to differences between Galaxy/Kaito Sushi on other ships.

Do you know the hours of the Asian Night Market? Since I see prices on that one coffee drink menu I assume those are not included with the basic fare. But it's nice they include sodas. What's your opinion of the free coffee, tea and fruit drinks?

* MSC was the first to restart cruises in August, 2020 in the Med. Celebrity restarted in June, 2021 by subverting US rules and sailing from St. Maarten. But I am surprised MSC didn't think about it to capture the anxious US market.
