    Lost Luggage:  Help

    We cruised first time on MSC Seashore. Cruise time was March 14-17... Had great time until exiting.  We were not aware we could keep our luggage with us.  Luggage was taken the night before.  When we left the ship only my luggage was there.  My daughters was gone.  It was a Large dark Brown cloth with D&G on it.  We had a clear plastic tag connect with a strong wire connect.  No possible way someone could have confused it with theirs.  

    No one reported it and no one has seen it.  Reward if someone could return it.....

    Welcome Diannia.  Your best bet would be to go to the Cruise BOARD for the sailing and post there.  It's doubtful that someone from that sailing will open up and read this (old) post.

  2. So I've made the horrible (😉) mistake of having booked a cruise over "month end" for the first time in my five years of indentured servitude...I mean, gainful employment. 

     

    As such the boss is making me work remotely to close the financial books while at sea.  For anyone with direct experience, have you been able to VPN into your company from the ship's WiFi?  Or will access be blocked?  (PS I'm in finance, NOT IT, so don't laugh...)

     

    Also, is there a business center on the Euribia in case I have to print out some hard copies?  I can't imagine traveling with a portable printer, though I do see some on Amazon with thermal paper rolls.  If so, does anyone know the cost?  (Back in the "old days" there were business centers with computers and printers on the cruise ships where people would log in and print out airline tickets, etc.  Now with everything being online, I don't see that anymore).

     

    Thanks in advance.

    We have been reading some good thing about Yacht Club and I thought I would search for some cruises and see what itineraries and accommodations are available for a wheelchair user.  Whenever I click to make my cruise accessible I get an error message instructing me to call.  I'd really prefer to do my search in private.

     

    Does anybody know if Yacht Club is inaccessible for wheelchair users?

    Yes, the YC is accessible for wheelchair users.  A travel agent can help you find accessible cabins.

    I seem to recall this addressed on a couple of other threads, but what's a good time to arrive at the port (again, Seashore/Pt. Canaveral) this Sunday? It's my desire to get on as early as possible in order to make our group dining plans with the YC concierge. Our assigned time is 12:00. Can I arrive/board prior to that? What time does boarding typically begin? Apparently things have been changing at PC (no tent?), so this might be a moving target. With only 1 MSC cruise (Seaside/PC) last year - I don't have much experience with them - other than recalling that it did not seem well organized.

     

    THANKS

     

    Yes, there is a tent at Port Canaveral.  Last month the rep only came out around 10:45am (as the parking lot opened at 11am).  

    Boarding really varies based on how fast the last group - and the back to backers - go through the process.  11:30 is fairly safe.

  5. I have often dined solo in Butcher's and since I don't really enjoy desserts, I ask (and get) the tomato soup which is delicious in lieu of that course.  But I often forget to tell them not to bring the FULL sized grilled cheese sandwich that comes with it... WAY too much food 😉

  6. Port Canaveral - no more YC seating area
     - is this a one off, or are they doing away with the YC pre-boarding area/snacks/drinks? Is this coming for all ports? 

     

    YC Snacks in the room
     - a few posters noted they stopped having these, is that another change? (nuts, pringles, candy bar in fridge)

     

    Reserved Pergola in YC One Pool area
     - MSC Customer Service could not find any listed details on this when asked if this is an option when we booked the RS room. They promised to get back to me on this, and never did. Can a non RS/OS room reserve one, or will that depend on the ship/sailing - YES, should still have reserved Cabana at the pool, but not at Ocean Cay

     

    Dining under the stars
     - Morpheus mentioned this in the YC v RG thread, sounds neat if they do it - never heard of it

     

    Seafood extravaganza
     - Was this really removed due to others sneaking in to YC area? Seems like an excuse - Yes, it's been stopped; yes, there were a lot of interlopers and "guests" who came and flooded the experience

     

    Dining in the room (Dinner served in stateroom / balcony)
     - Is there an for actual sit down served dinner in the stateroom/balcony where they serve it akin to what they do in the dining room - no unless you are in RS

     

    Off menu room service and/or Custom Pizza (like pepperoni and sausage) 
     - Mixed reviews seem to indicate you can't go off menu at all for room service, or sometimes can they don't really do "pepperoni" pizzas, but you can custom create to a certain extent

     

    Off menu items in the dining room or items from the MDR served in YC
     - is this possible, one of the members of my party has a fish/shellfish allergy - with notice; so you can't order from the MDR at the same meal period, but you can ask to see the dinner menu at lunch and "pre" order that way

     

    RS/OS All the Bottles of Spirits in the cabin
     - is this still done, or do you pick from 1 item from the list? 1 item from list

     

    I doubt this next one was ever an option, but ...
    Alternate Spirit option in the Cabin - Can you purchase a bottle of a different spirit? 
     - Example, instead of a bottle of cheap scotch, can you pay for a better bottle (like Chivas Royal Salute 21) No, because even if they had your spirit of choice at the duty free shop, they would have to store it for you.

    One of the best suggestions I ever read on this Board was to print a small note with all your preferences before you leave 

    That was ME 😉  you're welcome.  (PS, I keep the file ready just in case a YC adventure pops up... lol!!)

    I am still really surprised to find out they still have a COVID cancelation policy on the books, though it sounds like they are not abiding by it. Every other major cruise line got rid of these policies something like 2 years ago and now leave it for passengers to take up with their insurance, just like any other injury/illness that would prevent sailing.

    ME TOO!  This is the part I don't get. I don't know of any cruise line that will let you cancel for Covid with a refund now; that's why they are pushing cruise insurance.

  9. Oh, do please keep us updated! We did not have an issue with unruly children (unlike some other recent cruisers) but rather with noticeable cutbacks and one outright lie from the head Concierge.  We also took issue with the fact that after the show starts in the main theater and the "ropes drop" it's a free for all in YC seating and anyone can come by and push their way in, DRINKS in hand (not allowed) and make us get up 10 times so that they can get seated 10 minutes late.  Maddening.

    @Morgsmom does each yacht club cabin still choose a bottle of tequila, vodka, etc.? Do you happen to have a wine list, hoping they have stocked up on “good” wine?

    Yes on the bottle of liquor. No on a wine list and keep 

    in mind that even if a wine is listed, it may be mysteriously “unavailable”

    @Morgsmom  Am booking a shuttle from MCO to the port and wondering which time to choose. Were no vehicles allowed into the port before 11? Or was it the parking garage? Dont want to sit in traffic in shuttle van if I dont have to.

    Shuttles are completely allowed. People were dropped off as early as 9 but the terminal didn’t open until 10:35

    The Seashore is my favorite MSC ship so far! And the YC experience is amazing.

    One drawback, at the One Pool, if you want shade, you have to move chairs by the "funnel" I guess you'd call it. It's a big a/c air intake, so that also makes for a nice breeze to keep you from getting too hot.

    Funny the Seashore is my LEAST favorite MSC YC.  To each his own!

    I am new to MSC and was looking for cruises last night.  I found one I liked but the booking automatically defaults to 2. When I changed the passengers to one, it came back that the cruise was sold out. I had heard this was happening but found it hard to believe. I guess MSC does not want solo cruisers so I will look elsewhere. 

    MSC really doesn't want solos recently.  It's sad, but a money grab.
