So I just called MSC, which is what I should have done in the first place. They said a valid state-issued ID (Driver's license) and a valid birth certificate would be acceptable. 😝 So thanks for nothing alserrod. I hope you have a better day! You may want to look into some type of therapy. It helps...

Why even waste time being an A$$ when I have a valid question? If you're that unhappy, don't spend it surfing the board and being rude...

Can someone confirm for me that I read correctly on the MSC site. I have 3 of the 4 of my family that have valid passports, but one adult son whose passport has expired. I can use his state issued DL for passage on and off the MSC cruise correct? Do I also need to bring/present his birth certificate? Thank you

It takes longer. The first night we ordered, and got our drinks when they were serving dessert. The 2nd night we ordered in the MDR and got them about 15 min later. I agree with the above. Bring your own, then order a 2nd. Wine was plentiful when we were in the MDR

ok that helps, unfortunately...the rooms are literally next door to each other and I would have thought I could have just paid another $100-$140 each person for the non-Aurea room to upgrade to the Aurea service we have in the whirlpool suite. But I get it on numbers of people with that package. We plan to add a couple of nights of upgraded meals and then we can figure the other nights out as well on dinners. Because they dont have the same level as us in our cabin, I'm guessing they cant eat in the Aurea level dining room with us? Anything else that they may be missing out on that's not obvious in the description of the Aurea stuff?

MSC sales rep. in the suite i booked the drink package/wifi. in the balcony room next door, no drink or wifi package. I dont really care about the solarium, i just want to make sure we can all eat dinner together in the aurea dining room(s)? However, its a 4 night cruise and we were thinking about adding on a 2-night dinner package anyway. TIA And yes, I know the aurea doesnt come with a drink package any longer

I recently booked a whirlpool suite for me and my dw, which included the aurea experience. I booked the balcony room right next to it for my 2 adult children and the cruise consultant said I could only book the Fantastica experience for that room. I asked if I could upgrade the regular balcony room to Aurea (without changing rooms), and she said No. I find that very odd that I can't upgrade the "experience" for the room next door, when the 2 people in that cabin are in my same booking/party. I want to make sure all 4 of us have access to the same perks, dining rooms, etc. Any suggestions on how I go about doing that? Also, we have the drink package in the whirlpool suite and they do not in the regular balcony room.

Can anyone tell me how BJ works? BJ payouts, continous shufflers, splitting, etc. I HATE continuous shuffler machines because that increases the house's huge edge even more. I'm hoping that's not the case on MSC (as it is now on most major cruise lines). TIF, Tallyfins

I too would like to confirm with someone that has 'boarded early' recently at Port Canaveral with MSC. We have a group going out of Port Canaveral on 1/18 that we booked 8 rooms through a travel agent. When I did the Web Check-In, it says my boarding time is 3pm. To the OP's point, I don't want to miss most of the afternoon on board by sitting around in my hotel room waiting for 3pm to arrive. So you guys are saying if I show up at say, Noon, and just get in line and play dumb, I should be able to get on within an hour or so after that? TIF, Tallyfins

ok thank you. You all have confirmed my suspicions lol! I will set my limit and cheer wildly when i get paid 6/5 for BJ! 🤣🤔

Can anyone who has sailed recently on NCL tell me what the table minimums are for BJ, how many decks/shoes, cut penetration, shuffle (continuous vs. automated) etc. I've never been on an NCL cruise before, but figure most are the same. But I would like to confirm before I get onboard. Thanks, TF
