I went back MSC site to MODIFY passenger information and let them sending me another ticket then found out they changed the arrival time from 3PM to 10 AM!!.  It is a little early but it was the same on last year October due to the low passengers count they did not check the arrival time.

Fellow Chattanoogan here....Looking forward to my first MSC cruise

Curious if keto options are available for breads, etc. on the Meraviglia?

Thank you

David

On previous non-NCL ships we have sailed, there are been some 'secret' areas one can go to that are open to the public, but generally not easy to find, ie. certain platforms/deck areas. Does anyone know if the NCL Pride of America have any of these areas off the beaten path? Not sure if it is big enough to have anything like that, but thought I would ask.

David

We will be there in March and renting a car in Kahului, Maui....are overnight parking options still the same?

Cindy- Great information...thanks

David

My wife and I are on the POA March 14-21, 2020, and would love to hear what you find out or decide to do...we historically never use cruise line tours, and have always found independents more enjoyable and less expensive.

David

Thanks to all with the updates...we depart on Sept 12th, B-->A on Viking Idi so I have been following the water levels posts closely for our first river cruise....Obviously it is what it is, but I am curious how far in advance Viking makes decisions on itinerary changes?

Thanks everyone!

David

Less than 2 weeks for us..

How long was you wait going through TSA security? Lots of disgruntled passengers recently in the continental U.S.

David :D

Thanks Merion_Mom [emoji106]

Ultimate package originally paid $487.34 - Now charged $446.04 - Discount = 8.4%

Shouldn't the new price at 20% discount be $389.88?

Looks like I've been overcharged by $56.16

Premium package originally paid $404.74 - Now charged $388.22 - Discount = 4.1%

Shouldn't the new price at 20% discount be $323.80?

Looks like I've been overcharged by $64.42

 

Just trying to get some feed back on whether R.C.I are falsely advertising 20% discount on there beverage packages.

I posted a few days ago about the Premium 20% discount not being accurate on the website when I was thinking about ordering it...the true 'retail' price is somewhat a mystery , and what was listed as regular price of $49/day online at the end of April.. and the discounted price of $47/day..just doesn't add up to 20%? For sure...

David:D

Just for grins and giggles, I added the premium to my cart for allure. It indicated 18% will be added (to the $39 = $46). I added to my cart for my Feb cruise where Premium is $57 and it stated tax was already included. Based on that, $57 less 20% discount is $45.6.

Looks like this is the key...$49 /day is not valid amount being paid for the PREMIUM at all...:eek:

David:D

David,

 

Should be like this:

 

49 - 20% (9.80) = 39.20

+ 18% (7.02) = 46.22

* 7 nights = 323.54 USD total

 

The 47 USD shown as advertised price includes the 18%.

 

Did you "put it in the cart"? Then it should show something under 330 USD for the whole cruise.

 

Let´s say RCI maths has nothing to do with the real science :D!

This is the rub...The cart will show the total as $388.22, so the $47.00/day does NOT include the 18% gratuity, so there is no true 20% savings based on the $49.00/day regular price (unless, as other have stated, the truth is that this still posted as of April 27, 2016 at $49.00/day as the regular, non discounted price)

David:D

Had the same issue. I was told (after multiple calls) that the premium price was raised to $59/day for summer sailings and $55/day for regular season. Not sure if this is true overall or just for the "sale" as they don't seem to be in a hurry to update prices on their website.

Interesting because the PDF that pulls up (From RCCL and dated 4/27/2016 at the bottom) when you google RCCL drink package, shows $49.00 for premium

Is it certain sailings and ships? I don't see 20% on mine

Yes- I believe it is individual sailings...we are one of the 'lucky' ones?

David:D

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay- we had previously decided to NOT do a drink package this time, but after seeing the 20% discount pre-cruise special in my cruise planner, I have started crunching the numbers again to see...

My issue is I am not seeing a true 20% discount when I do the math...so can someone help?

RCCL website for PREMIUM listed it as of 4/27/2016

$49.00/day (no tip)--->(+tip $8.82)--->> total $57.82/day

7 DAY TOTAL= $404.74

WITH 20% discount on Cruise Planner

$47.00/day (no tip)--> (+tip $8.46)--->> total $55.46/day

7 DAY TOTAL= $388.22

A difference of only $ 16.52 ? Not 20%?

Am I missing something?

David

Thank you-

I will look at the Rif Fort area for late lunch options...

David:D

We are in port from 8am-11pm, and have a 3 hours ATV tour that morning. Depending on how dusty we get from the tour, we would like to maybe eat lunch near the port and maybe enjoy something nearby for the afternoon before getting back on the ship...

Any good bars/casual eating areas within walking distance of the port/ship?

Any touristy things we could do close by as well?

We are a family of five...

David:D

You can buy water in the duty free shop in the terminal and bring it onboard.

We have not experienced this type of port ( having sailed only out of Fort Lauderdale and Port Canaveral) with an accessible Duty Free Shop...do they have wine as well? That we could purchase as our 2 bottle carry on amount?

David:D

How far in advance should you contact them to request a table for 2

I emailed them a few weeks ago and was told to wait until 50 days prior to sail date as they couldn't enter any info into their system until then

Additionally, you should be able to find it located on your paper statement each month..kinda hidden on the last page or so..

Does this change ever with the itinerary, since there are quite a few different ones?

David:D

Wondering the same thing (so bumping) but on the Adventure OTS...Assume if craft beer is indeed included in the drink packages that include beer, that it is fleet-wide? So hoping for a rely to the Op's question too...

David:D

We definitely still use them on our trips...our credit union does not charge to get them so I feel better using them to avoid any ATM fees for cash, especially since I'd rather not carry over $1000 in cash initially to pay for our excursions, etc..I have never had an issue cashing them at guest services except last trip, when I got a phone call the next day after cashing some, when they said my signature on one of the checks was not close enough of a match to the preliminary signature for their security person, so I had to return and simply resign it again...darn my poor penmanship, but kudos to them for making sure ..

David

Pulled the trigger today for the five of us at 420 each out of Atlanta....wish I had jumped on it back in October when it was 386 each...but we sail May 28 and there was noticing the seats starting to book up over the past few days...our saildate is Memorial Day weekend, so that is likely a factor...

If you don't have one running I would try an ad blocker program. It will block the annoying ads that show up on the side of the screen. From what I saw in the past (prior to ad blocking) the message seems to be related to the ads trying to link elsewhere. Just a thought but those messages disappeared for me after using an ad blocker.

Thanks...I have installed Ad Block Plus...let hope it works!

I am a little compute illiterate, so forgive me, but I recently keep getting an error message 'Internet Explorer has modified this page to help prevent cross-site scripting'....Has anyone else had problems with this annoying message, since I have to constantly X it to continue viewing each page...

Cross-site scripting (XSS) is a type of computer security vulnerability typically found in web applications.

So is this a CC website issue?
