When we moved into this home in 2013, we only had 2 cats. But there was a good 15 ferals outside, I got 2 TNR'd kittens as a housewarming gift, lol. The rest lived their lives being fed (all TNR'd). We are down to maybe 4 outside and have 4 indoor cats. I hope nobody moves in or out causing more unfixed kitty problems.

We are down to 4, unless I count the outdoor ferals. We lost one of our indoor last month over the bridge. But always have to make sure we have arrangements ahead of time.

Great review again. You are such an enabler, lol. I have 3 booked through Christmas 2024. Now I want to book another. I think I have a problem. You're reviews and photos really make you feel you are there looking in.

I just got off Meraviglia this past Sunday. There were quite a few under 6 months, some around 3. I forget the actual wording on MSC, but yes 3 month babies are allowed. There were a few in my sailing that also called to confirm after we warned them to double check. I always thought it was 6 months too, probably other lines.

Yeah looks like they disabled that feature on that app. I tried it Saturday night for my final billing. It comes up with a message basically saying that the app disabled it.

I should have done that. Getting in was brutal until you cleared those rocks.

I grew up there and go there often for the shopping. Sunday can't come soon enough.

Thanks for doing this. I don't get to sail her until November, but will be following your journey.

I have a feeling it's going to be close with this weeks coming up being sold out. I bid on YC balcony and lucked out. A few bid on YC interior and got a balcony, go figure. If I would have done that, I would have gotten the interior, lol. But I'm happy, it will be an experience. I'm sure more people will get them as they continue trying to fill her up.

Hi neighbor, I'm in Ocean County too, Whiting area. Leaving for our cruise Sunday. We were going to drive, but my son is going to take us. Where abouts are you and when are you sailing?

I'm going May 14. I put in a bid of YC balcony. I wasn't interested in YC at first, but seeing it's going to be a full sailing, it appeals to me more. We were on Divina back in August and loved it so much, here we are waiting to board out of NY. I thought about putting a bid on interior, but I really need to have some sunlight coming in the room or I'll sleep just alittle too good.

I put in a request for the water. I bring my own cord. If the water don't come through, I'll just use the tap water. The reservoir is removable on my machine, so no problem cleaning it. Just one of those things, I'm not too worried about.

I had to read it twice myself. She did not mention any of the other perks of fttf, just that it wasn't worth it and her remedy to the cabin access. This was in response to someone asking when fttf is available for her cruise. You're putting the employees job at risk. He's in a darn if you do, darn if you don't. If he sends her on her way, you know what life will be with the room. If he takes it, he runs the risk of job punishment. What happens if her things were taken.

I saw one post on FB. Somebody was questioning fttf, she said you don't need it, she just slips the cabin attendant 20 bucks. I really wish they would get harsher on this. Maybe some of these people will be knocked down a couple notches for this nonsense.

LOL, I heard that same complaint in the past few months, but I didn't run into it. I wonder if they asked for it.

That was me too. I tried Divina out of Port Canaveral back in August. First timer and loved it. That's why I'm booked on Meraviglia in a couple weeks. I will be booking more too. Already got a Carnival Venezia booked for November and vacation days are dwindling for my hubby, but I really want to book another one, maybe next year.

We managed to get a family member drive us for our May sailing. Uber, Taxi and other public doesn't cut it coming from Ocean County area of NJ. So we had a choice to get a family member to drive us or suck it up and pay the parking. I figure a couple cartons of smokes, pay tolls & gas, we're still ahead of the game.

Same thing happened with my phone on Divina, yes emergency calling only came up too. Once I restarted the phone, it was back to normal. Not sure why, but MSC connection is not as easy to deal with as Royal or Carnival. I never could get it to work on Ocean Cay even doing as instructed of logging off before getting off ship and than going in. I gave up quickly, as I really didn't need it.

Carnival Pride, going from Baltimore, great entertainment reading the comments while that was going down. They ported, on the Jersey side, maybe Liberty, and gave the remaining passengers free ferry service to and from NYC. Some of them took their luggage and rented a car to go back to Baltimore and pick up their own car. I had a last minute offer on that one, but declined thankfully.

Same here, I'll just book a clamshell and a float and be happy. I never got a cabana for Grand Turk so I'm not familiar on prices, but if I want one for my November cruise, 199.99 for the retreat and 399.99 for the actual cabanas. My cabana on MSC next month is only 250, no a/c or snacks, just bottled water and floats, but that's all we need.

Great review Jamie. I love reading this type of review before getting ready to sail too, especially the food and different spots around the ship. And than you outdid yourself with the menus, driving me nuts having to wait now. I remember reading your reviews on NCL. I would have sailed with you Mar. 15, 2020? out of NYC, the day the earth stood still, lol. I'm scheduled for this ship May 14 with a fantastica balcony on 10. I was emailed about an upgrade bid for this Aurea suite. How are you liking it? I still haven't decided whether to bid or not, but it looks great. My fear is getting the wrong side of the ship for Ocean Cay and the light show. I'm in a perfect spot right now.

I'm on this cruise. Over the weekend, the upgrade bid emails came out. There were still balconies and up available, (didn't check int or OV). Today nothing. Maybe give them a call or check back later or tomorrow.

Congrats! Like Jamman54 says, next stop Diamond, I'll race you, lol. That's going to be alot of cruises.

That would make sense.

Strange, I'll be Platinum day 6 of my Nov. 20th cruise and it's showing up with the 16 days. Maybe double check your days that they add up or give them a call if they do.
