@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?

Once you find out where to make reservations, and often it is Ocean Cay restaurant, go once you embark, very few will know about it that early in the game and you should be able to choose date/time you want. MDR will be on room card.

I do know they take one at embarkation whether one is downloaded or not. I was able to download the picture of the primary person in each reservation which then allowed me to choose an embarkation time slot.

Checked in two cabins exactly the same way, got e-ticket for one but not the other, called MSC and individual emailed the one i was missing immediately, so all is good.

Is Thermal Suite Pool in Spa?

Wonderful to hear that, we are Yacht Club for first time end of this month, very excited, familiar with MSC, sailed 12 times but never Yacht Club.

It is still a nice perk for Diamond Members. My husband and I always enjoy the Steakhouse experience. And it is for every cruise you take once becoming Diamond. (We are Diamond on Carnival and each get a “specialty” meal once only.)

Got it to work on iPhone for one of us yesterday. Then today got our E-ticket with QR code for the “pictured” person and saying the second person either needs to a) complete process with a picture or b) print out Boarding Passes attached. As the attachment also includes Luggage Tags I will just print everything, easier than attempting another picture. All ready to go!

In the past I have been able to skip this step however today it will not let me “save & continue” without taking a pic. Seems to be a shortened check-in on-line process since I last cruised MSC. Are there are only two screens that need completion?

Website seems to insist on me having a picture taken/sent in order to complete check-in. Made several attempts to do so, unsuccessful. Any insights?

Deleted/edited previous post, was a reminder to pick up $ at casino cashier, then saw that “fun play chip” was picked up, now win!

Well didn’t you tell her you were Greg, Saint Greg!?

Crusin Karen, we had BP and mayo/miracle whip minus the bacon when I was a kid, have never ever come across anyone else who likes it, agree, it’s delicious, no longer a kid, am retirement age (yikes), I still like it.

Am I confused, what is a “legged” man?”

Twin mode! I have two daughters two years difference in age, people cannot tell them apart. You will keep everyone on the ship guessing.

Yikes, page 7, where have I been, certainly not keeping up with you, you are amazing, btw still waiting for those “lashes” to acquire their own carry-on.

I love, yes love, black licorice. If I lived closer I would take it off your hands!

@hapytobehr and @Crusin Karen - true confessions - I know I would not have been as gracious.

@Jamman54 you are a Class Act!

@Beamafarthank you for replies, we did get a good price on Inside YC but as I said we have cruised both Bella and Fantastica and Interior and Balcony and sometimes “all in” with beverages and Wi-Fi and sometimes neither, always enjoyed our cruises, have done 12 (I think) MSC cruises all from US ports. We now mostly cruise between MSC and Carnival, different experiences, appreciate both. Of course you should have added another week having come from Ireland, enjoy!

@Beamafarhow long ago were you on Seashore in Yacht Club? We have experienced both Bella and Fantastica, Yacht Club for first time in two months. Most likely too general a question, any insights? From your Posts you seem to be a frequent MSC cruiser. It seems people nave a very positive Yacht Club experience or not too much good to say.

The Meraviglia is a gorgeous ship. Yes you see many varying thoughts on MSC cruises. Early on, when MSC first came to America, so many people that had cruised on any other cruise line in the past complained bitterly as those people expected the same experience as they had in the past! My thought, if you want a Royal cruise line experience go on Royal, if you want a NCL experience go on NCL, etc. We have enjoyed MSC cruises 12 plus times, no complaints, we have experienced both Bella and Fantastica levels, we have enjoyed the “all in” experience which includes beverages and Wi-Fi as well as cruises without beverages or Wi-Fi. All this to say, enjoy your first cruise, it is a wonderful vacation.

Apparently I was wrong about ships lining up at Port Canaveral, sorry.

Have done side-to-sides at Miami cruise port, works great, Port Canaveral should be fine, ships all line up, easy walk from one to another.
