Cucina for dinner is wonderful. We ate there two times. You do need to check in. Chibang is equally great and we ate there twice for dinner and once for lunch.

1. Formal nights - Dress slacks fine. Jacket not even necessary. 3. Dining Room - Husband has worn jeans in dining room for dinner. Breakfast/Lunch shorts are fine. 5. We nave always cruised out of F with MSC. (Uber from MIA to cruise port is about $26.00, used it two weeks ago. Cabs no longer have flat rate, meter only.) Love the Divina, our favorite MSC Ship, have sailed on her several times. Enjoy!

Buffet, but in our experience it has always been excellent. Make sure you circle the buffet to see everything that is offered. And then head towards the back of the buffet area as few people will have walked that far, most stop at the first seat they see, and it will be more relaxing and a better place to find a seat.

From my research it has always been said that the ships do a 180 prior to entering the channel to eventually dock, they back in through the channel, and then can cruise straight out. So yes, I would suggest it is 100% certain Starboard cabins are alongside pier/island. (I do realize someone said that there is a possibility that it is not 100%. I suppose anything is possible.) Have a wonderful cruise. Overnights at Ocean Cay are wonderful. If you have a beverage package it does work at the various bars which is great. (It is my understanding that beverage packages on other cruise lines do not work on their private islands. So this is a plus, especially with overnights and the fact that you may spend more time on the island.)

Ocean Cay - starboard - even cabin numbers face Island.

I was referencing the area outside the Havana pool area, the Havana bar does not require Havana Cabin proof. You could never sit by the Havana pool unless you had a Havana Cabin.

We did the Inaugural TA on Horizon Inside Cabin and loved it. Your location sounds great for the deal you got. Wouldn’t hesitate to go. Cruising_Addic referenced the Havana area. It is true you cannot go in to that pool area but you can enjoy the lovely seating area just outside the Bar and the Bar area also, evening music there was great.

We just disembarked Sunday, walk-offs with luggage started at 7:30, we are Platinum so were luggage tag #3 and were to be in specified lounge at 8:00 but as we headed there one of the Fun Squad said #3-5 tagged luggage was available and we could join the line of cruisers pulling their luggage and so we did. Got luggage, went through face recognition customs, got an Uber, were at MIA at 8:15, very surprised. Hope this helps. Please ignore above paragraph - we got off Celebration Sunday - so that all related to our Celebration disembarking. We disembarked from Seascape the Sunday before and walked down to Celebration to catch it. On Seascape we had to be out of cabins by 7:00 so left cabin and ate bkft in dining room and took time disembarking as we didn’t want to get to Carnival ship too early. So not a very helpful answer for you, sorry I was confused and gave you all that useless Carnival info.

Our Uber ride Sunday morning from cruise port to MIA was $25.96 plus of course we tipped, driver picked us up within three minutes, was seamless. When we arrived at MIA we asked a cab driver the flat rate to the Port and he said trips are now metered. Used Uber at that time also.

Just off Celebration, had intended to purchase an original “Tervis” tumbler with Carnival logo, asked at customer service who told me any bar, asked at several bars and not available, eventually got a beverage server who said they were only available on specific classes of ships, not Celebration, he was most knowledgeable, should be working at customer service - ha.

Book 2nd cruise online, we did it and it worked fine. I would suggest it does no good to call an MSC agent to make sure they are aware of 2nd cruise. Simply go to Guest Services when onboard. Changing Cabins is no problem. You will receive paperwork as to what to do, very similar process that Carnival follows (it is the only one I can compare it to). You will be told when and where to meet and all the B2Bs will walk onto American soil/pavement in the Port building and circle back to ship. Room Steward will move bags for you, take a couple $1.00 TJMAXX bags to easily throw miscellaneous stuff into so you don’t have to take time to fit everything into your suitcase. Once back on board we waited a short time then went to new cabin to check on process, our bags were there already, cabin was done, so we moved in right away and unpacked. The big steel doors into the cabin hallways will be closed with a notice saying cabins will be ready later, open and head to new cabin anyway.

Even numbered cabins side. Just off Seascape. For us this has also been true when on Meraviglia and Seashore and Divina and Seaside.

Radio, looking forward to reading your “live” after we get home in a week. We are currently on Seascape (docked at Ocean Cay today as Costa Maya was cancelled due to winds) and disembark tomorrow when we will wheel our bags to embark on Carnival Celebration for a week. Enjoy your cruise. Thank you for doing an MSC “live.”

Most recently we have found we have to ask where the Diamond Line is, very little signage, so don’t simply join long line, find an employee at front of line and ask.

I assumed OP was asking about Main Theatre shows - they cannot be booked on App until On Board. The Carousel Shows on Mera can be booked ahead and as someone else said at a savings. Once On Board those shows are $18 but booking prior to boarding they are $12.00.

Cannot do it until On Board.

Today is Thursday and tendering Georgetown, Grand Cayman. We were advised late yesterday that our Itinerary would change - we are not going to be in Costa Maya tomorrow due to weather - we will have a Sea Day tomorrow and Saturday return to Ocean Cay from noon to 8pm. I have tried to search Costa Maya weather but cannot find anything eventful. Anyone know more than I do about “weather” that would cause us not to be able to arrive there?

Just emailed my PVP, it is something I have done often, don’t like change. So am I reading this Post correctly - we now should call PVP and she/he can put “on hold?”

ready2cruzagain - thank you, good to know, considerably better to book online.

If I remember correctly it is $18 and includes a beverage. We booked it on-board, choosing date and time.

Best not to bring a “bottle” into dining room just to be safe, as already stated Carnival can charge a corkage fee whether open or not, just bring wine in a glass or two.

ObstructedView2, ty for details.

Favorite venues/foods on Celebration? Just curious. Perhaps too many to mention.

We have had the above promo several times and have always been able to put Wi-Fi onto two devices. MSC wording is as follows: “internet access for two devices.” This is found on Cruise Ticket you receive just prior to sailing after you check in on-line as well as similar wording on cruise confirmation you receive after booking your cruise.

The Pride - we have cruised the Pride several times, lovely ship, doing 25 nights on her in October, trust you enjoy the Pride as we do!
