I don’t see anything but a blurry picture.  I was across the ship in 5026 for ten nights.  Under the stage, had booming bass in the evenings when there was a show, sometimes the patter of feet and after the show,  moving of props, etc.  But it usually stopped by midnight.  Also right above a loading hatch, could watch them loading pallets of Acqua Panna.  If the sea was active I occasionally had waves crashing, sometimes sounded like sleet hitting the windows…. But I would t hesitate to book the room again.  Except that it’s a looong way from the MDR.  EM

Bilge Rat said He would be in A/C ducks. Soooo! It was a Ship at SEA?? No Sea Dogs here. Essie Slept well, not a word from Her. Ear plugs? Had No problems in Engine Room. Booked Solo mid-April Mommy.

Did Essie make it Home Safe???  Good Job.            Bilge Rat

Was not very hungry for supper. Only one at my 8 top. Ordered the veggie spring rolls, wedge salad and Mac and cheese. Didn’t eat much of the Mac. Got my iced tea bottle filled in the mdr so brought it to my cabin. Asked Ali about Matteo topper and he has managed something. Dropped off the tea and went to find a lounge to sit until show time. Rock Royalty tonight. 
  Another night when the women are gussied up. Saw a few men in suits, too. 
  The show was good. I think I may have seen a version of it before. There are 14 in the cast. All dance but there are four main singers and two others that sang. They ended the show with We are the World, which I remembered from another cruise or two,  it not on Seaside this time. 
  After the show I had my dessert gelato and people watched  

  Back in the cabin for an early night. Busy day tomorrow. 
 

Spring Rolls a Bilge Rat favorites. But Cruise lines never have specie mustard. Bilge can and will make aboard next week. EM   I think Its time Too pack. LoL Tomorrow night U may hear Ghost Bilge running in the A/C duckwork after Midnight.     Good Job!!  O/C Photos?        The Bilge

Up early,  bEd is too hard and my hips are sore.  I watched us back in from my window.  The guys setting the lines were right outside my window.  
  I’m trying the mdr for breakfast.  They are only open until 0830.  Port day, but I think they should be open until 0900 at least.  
   Not impressed with the service so far.  The waitress came, I asked for juice and she said someone else will come by for that.  She tapped her paper ‘food, madam, food’.  I’m an old lady but I’m not senile.  So far they have been twice to offer pastries, but no water or juice.  After 10 minutes.

Ok Em; MSC Training. 'Rat Trap" the Juice Guy! Get more than ONE. LOL    MSC Normal .Have Tips. May Share. No order till Juice comes. May work?

We all will be waiting for your Adventurers on O/C today.                                                                                                      from The Bilge, Deck (1) engine Room

So glad I still have a few weeks before my cruise. Checked my status today. Still says "in process". It is nearing five months now. 

Someone should announce coffee break is over. DMV is a walk in the park compared to this.

Call and tell them U are sailing in 2 weeks . Supervisor will/ May OK it and get in 3 Days.

I'm a little over 2 weeks out and still waiting as well.  This is one of the reasons that I do not do guaranteed cabins, but I booked a Super Family cabin and it didn't allow room assignments at time of booking.  My booking was apparently changed from Super Family to BR2 with room type change that took place in November.  Although I have an email from customer support assuring me that I will still have a Super Family cabin, I don't believe them, but that's another thread all on it's own.

Maybe the reason to book: "Guaranteed Cabin" you also do not have Cabin# Right? They have the right to change your cabin any way and they do.       Still a MSC Solo Rookie.                                                                                                                                   The Bilge

Also waiting, still getting Up sells still coming with 7 days to Go. Last MSC sailing (Sept) was 9days out. This is MCS and They try your PATIENCE s!  The Bilge will answer.

First time with MSC. Sailing on the Meraviglia 3/20. 8 day cruise. Days 2 and 3 at Ocean Cay. Days 4 and 7 Sea Days. Looking to find out what the theme nights if any are on the ship. Formal nights, White Party, 80s Night, etc. Thanks.

Do not see YOU on Roll Call!  Is this The Back Door? Share?

MSC Rookie: Sailing in March. Found Butlers Cut(Tasters) menu, but can not locate other two.

May some one has tried, and tell me a little some thing.     Thanks for any help!
