On our recent cruise, the main dining rooms we not open on embarkation day.

Be sure and check your seating assignment when you receive your cruise card.

Ours was the complete opposite of the dining times we requested when we booked.

If you experience a problem, speak with the Maître d'. He was available around 2:00pm on our cruise.

We we're on the Nov. 23rd cruise and arrived at the pier at 12:30. We got checked in an were on board in about 45 minutes.

Yep, I'm afraid you missed the boat. (pun intended). The Divina webcams are supposed to refresh about 60 seconds. Although that hasn't been my experience. Anyway, you won't see much in the way of live action on them.

Here's a link that MSC posted of the Divina's arrival:

On the aft of Deck 15 is the Garden Pool Zen Area. It is supposed to be reserved for adults only.

Will be on the Divina Thanksgiving week and let you know if the adults only rule is enforced.

IMHO respected competing companies will not go into shady business by posting false reviews. Because majority of potential customers do not differentiate companies that much, and will be turned off reading such information.

 

Do you think RCI was that happy when Concordia sunk? I am sure they lost some potential customers as a result too.

I can't comment on RCI's position with regard to the Concordia incident, but I do know that in 2009 (in the infancy of social media) that they were caught infiltrating review sites using a viral marketing team. So, it's definately not beneath a "respected" company to ingage in questionable behavior.

My wife and I are on MSC Divina on 8th Feb 2014 and we were wondering how the majority of guests dress on formal nights. Do men wear a tuxedo, a lounge suit or just a jacket and tie. Also do women wear long dresses or cocktail dresses. This will be our first cruise out of Miami, so we are unsure as to how Americans dress on these cruises.We have cruised with P&O mostly and formal nights are a very dressy affair. Hoping for some help.

Few issues create as much confusion or contention among cruisers as what to wear to dinner — and, more importantly, what others wear to dinner.

For every dress code, there are those who try to bend the rules. If a tuxedo is required you'll find those who want to get by with just a suit; if all the cruise line asks is that you don't wear shorts, you can count on someone trying to wear them anyway. Those who follow the dress code to the letter often complain of lax enforcement. Most lines don't even call them "Formal" nights anymore, they're referred to as "Elegant" nights.

It's impossible to predict just how people will dress on a particular night on a particular ship, or exactly what your fellow passengers will actually be wearing. Some men may be wearing a tuxedo, but they will be in the minority. Some women will be wearing extravagant gowns and they too will be in the minority. I've actually seen people show up for dinner wearing "Fairy" costumes with leotards and tutu's. Did it ruin my cruise? No, but it did make for some interesting dinner conversation!

One cannot go wrong by following the cruise lines suggested guidelines. On MSC's Caribbean cruises the guidelines are:

"Casual resort wear" is appropriate except for formal evenings where men should wear a suit or jacket and tie, and women a cocktail dress.
