My husband is wondering what spirits you can request, specifically scotch

Post Pandemic Disney isn’t worth it. The service is now poorer and quality went down. Food isn’t good. But before the pandemic we loved it because it was top notch service and safe for food allergies. The experience was magical. Afterwards though, we sailed post pandemics no it was a nightmare. It’s why Disneys cruise line is hemorrhaging money right now and why they aren’t sailing full.

What other lines call "Behind the Fun" or "Behind the Scene" tour. It is only available to book on board and is limited to a group of 40. There is an age limit you have to be above a certain age for minors, no open shoes/cameras/cell phones etc.

 

They split it into two tours on two different days and the price is split as well.

There is a tour of the engine control room/navigation bridge on one day, a port day so it may impact your plans.

The other tour is over the stage/dressing rooms, main galley, one of the laundry rooms and various storage rooms. The theater portion was impressive as you are on stage and they run a section of show with all the lighting and backdrops. All done on a sea day.

 

The ECR/Bridge they split the group into two one set does ECR and the other the Bridge you pass each other in the hallway. The other tour its one group, you are required to done protective coverings before entering the galley.

 

I think it was $48 per person per tour, the total two were under $100. Don't wait for it to be advertised in the daily, just go to the Shore-X desk or the Concierge if in YC to make a reservation. You don't have to do it as soon as you get on board just wait for the crowds to die down and then do it. 

 

Only engine control room that is above the waterline that I've seen, they even have two portholes, It is amazing the engineers can survive the sunlight.

Oh and ask them about the retractable funnels, at high tide they have to retract them to fit under the Verrazzano. 

We did get a picture with the Captian on the bridge as well but could not find out where to pick them up. The photo place didn't know what we were talking about.

This is AMAZING and so thorough. Thank you so much for replying. Looks like we might have to do this.

MSC is serious about food allergies. For non-YC, they have a totally separate section in the galley to prepare foods for those with allergies. Made a huge thing about it on the tour. 

That’s amazing! They do a tour? Is that something you can book onboard?

It was great till the last day. They never found the crew member. He was lost overboard :(

We just recently got off the vision of the seas. Yesterday we had really rough seas with 15 foot swells and 60 mph winds. The decks were closed but apparently at 5:00 AM a crew member who had reported to his shift did not make it back off of his shift. They searched all day until 7:00 PM that night when they made an announcement to the ship that the crew member was missing And that he had possibly been swept overboard. All they know is that he showed up to his shift at 5 AM and wasn’t heard from after that. His shift took place on the pool deck. Prayers for his family.
