Greetings. Are the stateroom doors on the Discovery Princess able to hold magnets? Thanks for your help with this.

Following this. We are on the Prima on Deck 16 next month.

Got it. I understand now. Thanks!

From the MSC web site:

For US Citizens Only: For roundtrip Caribbean cruises that depart & end at same United States port, US Guests can choose to use their passport or a government issued photo ID and certified birth certificate. If you choose to use your government issued photo ID and certified birth certificate, you must insert one of those document numbers below. If Birth Certificate doesn't have a number, enter all zeroes below. If using Birth Certificate, enter any expiration date. 
 NOTE: IT IS MANDATORY TO BRING BOTH YOUR GOVERNMENT ISSUED PHOTO ID AND CERTIFIED BIRTH CERTIFICATE IN ORDER TO BOARD THE SHIP, OR YOU WILL BE DENIED BOARDING. 

Real book.

Greetings. I see as I complete my online check-in for an upcoming sailing on the Seaside that MSC requires BOTH a government issued ID AND a certified copy of a Birth Certificate. 

That seems different from all other cruises I've been on. Would a US Passport not be enough?

Thanks for your helpful replies about this.

Greetings. MSC newbie here sailing on the Seaside in November. I need to "register" my credit card within the first day, and MSC states a PIN number will be required. Does that apply to a credit card? (I know it will apply for a debit card).

Thanks for your assistance, and any other helpful hints.

Greetings. I'm sailing on the Seaside later this fall (First time on MSC - VERY excited!) and I would appreciate clarification regarding gratuities and the drink package. I have purchased an upgrade from the Easy package to the Premium package. I assume (I know that's not a good thing) that I will NOT have a gratuity added to each drink (Unless I choose to add one).

Am I correct?

I have sailed on several other lines, purchased drink packages, and the (standard) gratuities were built into the price of the package.

Thanks for your kind responses and any other advice you can provide this MSC novice.  🙂

This just in: Both our bids are now marked, "Expired". I bid. I failed. I sail this Saturday anyway!

Greetings, and THANK YOU for your background and pre-trip report. We will be boarding with you (although at different times as we're not near Platinum). This will be great fun. Now if only the NCL Upgrade fairies would render a positive decision. I mean, they only have a few hours to accept one of our awesome bids ............

Still waiting on my two bids on Bliss - THIS COMING WEEKEND.

Everyone in the Secret Department of NCL Upgrade Department: You are powerful and attractive people. I always wear my seatbelt and I call my Mom twice a week. I always promptly attend the muster drill and I never, ever try to sneak alcohol on board. 

Just sayin'   🙂

Thank you for your thoughtful review. It will be helpful to us as we plan.

Thanks so much for answering our questions! Excited to board on Saturday......

We, too, are on the next sailing. may I please ask, if you're comfortable sharing, what is your stateroom number and if the bed is by the bathroom or the balcony? 

Has this reopened?

Has Room With A View restaurant in St. Thomas reopened? I know they were nearly wiped off the map during the hurricane.

Greetings to all, and Happy Thanksgiving (in the US).

I'm 8 days out, and still "pending" on both my bids. I'm beginning to think NCL is doing his to me on purpose, just to raise my stress level - so that once I board I can really, really relax.  🙂

Please continue to keep your fingers crossed for me.

I'm a whopping 14 days out - and still no word on my bids. This is driving me nuts.

$9.95 per person each ride

There are daily and weekly unlimited packages also available

We sail in 17 days. Banner disappeared earlier today.

Earlier today, my "Let's get you upgraded" billboard disappeared. Checking my edocs; my original stateroom assignment remains. No email, but I was sure neither of my bids were successful.

I've been bummed all day.

HOWEVER, tonight when checking my bid status via the link in my original bid confirmation email, I see both bids are still "pending". There may be some glimmer of hope...…...

P.S. I sail on 12/1.

I hear they expire on December 8, which just happens to be the end of my cruise on the Bliss.  🙂

Just kidding, of course. I honestly don't think they expire. I hope you're able to use them sooner than later. If not, let me know.

First and foremost, thank you for sharing your cruise with us. I am sailing on the Bliss next month, and my wife is a huge seafood lover. I have been planning to surprise her with a meal at Ocean Blue; but now I'm not so sure.

Can you please delineate (I know, that's a big word like gymnasium) your dissatisfaction with that restaurant?

Again, my thanks!

Hey Nola37:

I'm on that same sailing; put in two bids for upgrade and haven't heard yet. Not even an "expired". Did you get an email or simply notice a change to your reservation? This is the first time I've put in a bad for an upgrade, and I can't stand the suspense!

Thanks so much for the great photos.
