What did your TA recommend?

if the attire of others causes you to choke on lobster, I think you have a problem.

the buffet at 9:01 was lame........ very disappointing.

we felt very little motion all week.

we came back from an excursion late. We were ready to go at 9:05 pm. MDR was closed and there were no other dinner options like they have on NCL etc. that were open. We went to the buffet, and they had already closed half of it up.

not a big fan of buffets either...... If you are one minute late for dinner in the MDR, you get half the buffet as your dinner choice - boo.

we did all inclusive, so we didn't notice the tip..... You always have the option of removing the auto, and tipping more or less.

I've sailed both, and like both. Royal seems to be higher in price to me, so lately we've stayed on MSC. I would try MSC as a couple first, not bringing the whole group. if you all like RCL, then go with what you know.

Long story. Just know they can't.

Horizon was my first cruise ever. Took her to Bermuda, then western Carib 2x..... we were on her before balconies....... sad turn of events

first world problems

I wouldn't know. My TA does it for me.

Did 1 bella, 2 yacht club..... all out of FL to Caribbean...... Loved all 3 cruises.... Just got back from Seattle on Celebrity.. DId Concierge class balcony. Was a nice cruise, but a few things I would have done better (only option for food after 9pm was 1/2 closed buffet).... Service excellent on both lines....If you aren't a good customer facing person, you probably don't last long in the industry.

that's clever, and worth a buck

what about the guy mowing? Does he not deserve a tip..... we can argue lots over golf..... but at least the air is refreshing.

valid point...... laundry lives are important too..... i guess

people tipped individual crew members. You had the same waiter at dinner all week.

What other people pay is of zero concern to me.

That is why tipping is a personal preference.

"What they get paid, how & who pays them is no concern of mine. That's between them and their employer." Good words to live by.

and.... that's how the real world operates.

agreed.

We love MSC. They are on par with NCL, RC, Celebrity etc. Go in with an open mind.... and by the way, they have more ships than most lines.

Tip what you feel is right. It is a personal preference.

Just got back from that itinerary. Always wanted to go when we lived in FL, and finally made it happen. Great cruise.
