Hi.

We have been given cabin Number G322, Has anyone stayed in the cabin or near, I wanted to know how obstucted it was, I think maybe a tender is underneath us.

we dont use the balcony too much, but always nice breakfast in the morning and fresh air in the evening.

somehow I did it, I have dinner at chic at 7.45/8.15 it said conflict but theret did just that, try againwas a box on the left that said agree to book both and i

Yes it has been charged to that credit card but we want to get rid of that card. I guess just wondering if Celebrity will let us move the charge to another card and credit that one.

I have done this many times, all they do is use the new card, after all, they cant get money from the discontinued one, so they will ask if you have another card and just use, I have the same with a hotel even a flight, we have all lost a card or changed card providers

what ever happens it will be fun, we have joining us now and that will make it even better, once the shows open for booking I will be happy:)

Loved the maiden voyage on Quantum, loved my short cruise on Anthem and looking forward to getting on Ovation.

 

17 days till her first sailing......

Cannot print bag tags

Cannot print set sail

You can book a North Star etc though

Spectras is showing but the booking system does not let you pick a date or time, so that could be an IT thing.

No othe entertainment is showing.

Drinks prices still far more expensive than on comparable cruises.

 

No, I'm not stressed, I know everything will be perfect on board, I'm just telling it how it is, before anyone starts.

I agree with all you say, I am surprised at the cost of the new drinks package, but other ships either remove them or charge more on a 3 night.

All will be good, but I think far from from perfect on the day, a new ship, first sailing will have a good few problems too iron out, these ships love people willing to travel on the first few cruises, I will be happy, enjoy all it offers if it perfect thats great if not it will be an experience and no doubt compensated by RCL is not perfect.

but we are on all is getting booked for shows entertainment, so the fun starts soon

Got this answer from RCI today

 

You will only be able to book entertainment after embarkation through the IQ app.

thats worth knowing, but does it mean early boards get in first , we board early so its ok but many wont be able to use the app until later and indeed many wont have an app at all,

And some that only SOME humans eat for breakfast................like baked beans, or whatever the Brits call them, and broiled tomatoes, and other English peculiarities.

 

:D :D :D :D :D

We are British and not Brits

I have my meal times and venues all sorted but what happens to people just booking, seems the Grade and a few other are not there now, do they booked up ? and if they what happens to newbies

we had all the above, we had the ship at a special party inc a photo, the strwberries and champers does come, but phone and request it when yoiu board the ship and the day and time and it will arrive then.

you get around 25% or 505 off most things you buy on the ship.

Check the whole list on MSC website, and just request things when on the ship.

Fruit was nice to be honest, sometimes you get back and go too the cabin and hey its there and you can top it up from room service

Back from the Preziosa, Great cruise, as always they dont know how to book flight seats, if you sit together you will be lucky, there is a trick lol,

Black card, they will nothing about it on the ship, typical ship / shore thing,if you know someon eon the ship it will help, dont expect too much , it was nice if you reallt chock strawberries and fruit and cheap champers, meeting , we were the only 2 from the UK we knew the bar waitress so it helped, mr Bing was there :eek:

Its our second cruise, yes it more relaxed than RCL which is already laid back compared too cunard, No one had a Tux this trip, all jeans and casual inc the women, its what MSC is all about though, the cruise not the showing off.

I did take advantage of the $200 voucher for the next cruise though

Thanks. What did you use as proof? Sorry if you have already posted this but I did look through the last three pages and couldn't find it. Also is the upgrade only for a period of time or for a particular cruise or is it for keeps? We don't have any MSC cruises booked at the moment.

Whatever card is your highest status from a ship or hotel, phone them and they will guide you through it

Most of the negative reviews seem to come from Carnival loyalist. MSC is a beautiful ship but a completely different experience then Carnival. MSC is more laid back, staff are really in the background not all over you to get another drink, and you might not see your cabin steward that much but know they were there. Prices are great, drink packages are incredible BUT it is very European. The food is real Italian (they do have burgers and fries to) and portions are Italian also. There is no constant Caribbean band playing. They do have great shows, they have plenty of music variations and I loved the Galaxy Club Disco. There are some other quirky things about MSC. I am not a real fan of Carnival, I have been on NCL & Celebrity and think MSC is somewhere between NCL and Celebrity. The one thing that tops other lines is the Yacht Club - nothing compares to that experience.

I was willing to try this line and ended up loving it but I threw the negatives aside to make up my own mind. I'm glad there is a choice and sometimes price is only a small part of the consideration.

I think you summed it up perectly, I gave sailed Cunard mostly, ncl and rcl , I wont really wont sail carnival:), MSC seem fine to me

We had ours changed from Classic to Black

we booked 1 cruise, and now booked 3 more and already we are black,

 

How can you be Black card if you have only sailed once? unless of course it is via the stupidity of the new scheme!

Yes it is, they gave us black as we are Diamond on Cunard, makes no sense to me, cant workk out why they did it either

Dobt forget if you buy before you pay the price, if you buy on the ship they add 15% on to every drink

Ditto.

 

At one stage I had 3 forward MSC bookings - now none. I also don't envisage booking with them in the next 2 years.

 

Loyalty is a 2 way street.

Let me know , if you find a cruise for the same money duration and loyalty perks though, we booked 1 cruise, and now booked 3 more and already we are black, i can it it would get o you as you worked hard for it, but can you get the same from any other line ????

I hope so, I not snobbish in any way, but when I go out I dress up, maybe a pair of nice trousers and a shirt, and I just dislike people who are there in Jeans and T shirts.

you will have a great cruise and you will enjoy dressing up a little at night for dinner, I think you will most people do and only a few wont

I think its a shame that people do wear Jeans and a T Shirt, a sign of the times and its Lazy I think, its a bit more effort to be smart, The DR is smart and its a night out and so should be smart trousers and a shirt, maybe others would do the same if more showed some effort.

We're due to leave very soon, although very excited there are just a few queries I have about the dress code!

 

What is the suggested dress code for men and women in the main dining room in the evening? Are jeans acceptable?

 

For gents is a shirt to be worn every night or is a t shirt suitable?

 

Thank you in advance!

We too leave soon, Dress code is a couple of formal nights and the rest smart casual.

To be honest I would not be happy for anyone to wear Jeans and a T shirt too dinner on any night, that should be OK at home, but not on a ship or out for a nice meal and also No mobile/cell phones at dinner :eek:

I would say a smart shirt and trousers and that is what most will wear

We will be sailing for the first time on MSC this spring, we are use to other cruise lines where you can go to a speciality restaurant to avoid dressing up in formal nights,mis it the same in YC or other venues ?

From what I have seen, very few dress up anywhere on the ship, on our last trip we took trousers and smart shirts and fitted in well, if anything, better than most

You are right there no where near celebrity's. However the dressing gown will be good for me ha!

No , our highest is Cunard and that is amazing, you get parties rather than a few drinks in the evening, free lunch is best resturant , free internet and other stuff, we are on the way up on RCL but they are not what they were, so we are now trying Celebrity and a few others.

MSC is fine, cheap, the cabins are great , goes where we want at the moment as we are bucket listing now, the announcements etc can drive you insane :eek:, but we get through that and the muster :eek: and get by.
