But if you don't book Yacht Club you cant call your room steward a butler, lol

Are they selling yacht club specific yacht club tag holders yet?

Poor crew being flashed like that

The dress shirt and khakis should be fine for non formal nights in the MDR. Otherwise just eat at the buffet.

I have noticed that as well. In some cases up to a third cheaper booking as two separate legs. Only disadvantage I could think of is having to switch cabins.

The way they 'discount' it pre-cruise is that you purchase at full price, but do not pay the 15% gratuity that you need to pay if you purchase it on board. That represents a 13% discount.

Was the 13% a typo are am I missing the math?

When I checked on board last year the only thing offered was the voyager club discount.

11:40AM flight out of FLL will be tight. If everything goes smooth you would get to FLL airport around 10 and then have to get through security there.

It gave me the nudge to book. Not an aft suite or yacht club, but should be better than interior. Just wish Divina was a bit less boring.

They need to start including it on European bookings to keep them from stiffing the crew and creating such a mess at guest services. If you cant afford the tips you cant afford to cruise.

If it is anything like the Divina things start winding down around 10PM. Almost no night life on board.

Seems very tight to me. MIA tends to take longer to get through security and then get to gate than FLL.

I am wondering if it is only the prepaid sales that are going away. I had heard some grumbling onboard the Divina that in addition to the loss tips, the sales commission was leaving the boat.

I think it depends on the pricing difference. I was going to change late to balcony on last cruise since they had dropped the balcony pricing to be within $50pp of what I had paid for interior. Was sold out by the time I had time to make the call. I have been happy with the interior rooms. Although small the room was mostly used for changing, bathing, and sleeping. Days were filled with shore excursions and evenings with shows and dining. Sea days it would have been nice though, but as has been stated on these boards before, generally once can take three inside cruises for the price on one balcony cruise.

Can anyone confirm Uber can pickup at FLL and transport to POM? Some location have restrictions to protect the taxis.

If they are aligning with NcL, they should be giving the drink package for free. And they might want to put an actual 4th bed in rooms that supposedly sleep 4. While they are at it, maybe they should also provide more dining and entertainment options. I could go on.

I had wondered about this. NCL seemed to go from Sky to fleet with the inclusive drinks fairly quick. I was wondering if MSC was going to follow suit. I really enjoyed how hassle free Sky was. One can hope this is just a precursor to a change of this nature.

Sad to see this change. I had hoped other lines would follow suit as an alternative to the expensive all inclusive packages.

Sailing on the Divina early next month and purchased on of the alcoholic and one non alcoholic package, thankfully before they became unavailable. It was one of the things I thought MSC did right, and I had hoped other lines would follow.

I believe the Yacht club comes with a drink package so closes the gap.
