The food on your cruising looks quite a bit better than american msc cruises!

how was the line of cars

Perche? is there a parking area that's cheap near the ferry?

well, does that mean the individual will be waiting 6 hours in the terminal??

Does anyone have pics of the daily schedules? of the Meraviglia for the 7 day bahamas cruise? i'm curious about when the Broadway and Carousel shows are. i have an unlimited dining package and a child who needs to eat at specific times for medical purposes, so i need to reserve the dining in such a way as to be able to get to the shows before the doors open to ensure we can sit near or at the front.

I think I may have been misunderstood. I was asking about the vendor owned aspect... How did you find out that the specialty dining was outsourced rather than the cruise just forbidding outside alcohol to make you buy alcohol in the restaurant at inflated prices?

is Specialty dining like Hola Tacos (depending on the ship) open during embarkation? can you use your specialty dining there?

true. but then i'd have to suffer the lines and the middling food the other 6 nights. as stated in my OP, we are only eating MDR once (potentially) for lobster. otherwise we want to stay on our unlimited plan. thanks!

blast these inflation cost cutting measures. All I want is a bunch of lobster. okay. well, it's looking more and more likely that i'll just skip the MDR all together and eat butchers cut (i think you can go there twice on a 7 night cruise right?), ocean cay, teppanyaki, and mexican for lunch and dinner using an unlimited pass. I also found out that you cannot bring cruise purchased wine into specialty dining. what a crock. I guess I'll have to get a bottle of the cheap merlot in the steakhouse and cheap sauv blanc for the seafood house. Then nurse these bottles over 7 nights. sigh. getting ripped of by 300% is my vibe I guess.

Hello, we are mulling over the unlimited specialty dining package and the only dinner we will likely have in the MDR would be the lobster night meal. I am wondering how many lobsters you can have? I don't need the extra filet, which i fully expect to be full of gristle. I just want extra lobster. It looks like there is a $5 surcharge for each extra entree. What if I don't want an extra entree, but just another lobster, no sides and no steaks? Any info would be helpful. If I have to pay extra for lobster, might be better just to go to a specialty restaurant. Thanks!

Although the steward may think somethings up when he see shampoo bottles or rum runners in the ice bucket.... i wonder if my friend ever considered putting diet sprite in his rum runners. better ask him. =P

The room stewards are always nice enough to supply wine glasses on any cruise... "some" people like to drink water out of wine glasses after all.

Thank you! any info on specialty dining?

but remember... a cruise ship is not home... It's more like brining a glass of wine from your room to a resort restaurant.

no... but i'd have to ask my friend if he did it. I recall he did do it on carnival once and they didn't have problems.
