You can't make advance reservations ( nor can you with a package on some others lines, Celebrity for example) so just make that a priority once you are onboard. 

Thank you

We are taking our first cruise on MSC in a month.  Having 6 cruises taken, but none on MSC.  We purchased a small Specialty Dining package.  On other cruise lines, one can make reservations online in advance.  Is that the way it is on MSC, and if so, how do I do it?

I was just on an RCCL ship.  A gentleman told me that NCL accepts status levels from other companies.  Is that true??

My guess is it is because of the overhang and support bars.  Nothing major.  YouTube video mentioned above:

 

Thank you.  Gives me a good idea of what partial means.

Thank you for your informative review.  Thoroughly enjoyed reading it.  September will be our first time on MSC, but my 62nd cruise.  Have read reviews that weren't too favorable, so glad to read yours.

Has anyone been on the Meravigilia in a partial view balcony cabin?  Any idea how partial the view is in 14079??

Thank you

What type of ammenities does MSC offer?

I have taken 60 cruises, but never on MSC..  Thinking of booking MSC.  Any opinions please??  As far as status match, I am Elite on Princess and Diamond Plus on RCCL.  Any idea of what a match might be??  Thank you.

Sorry

You can use his vouchers but they won’t automatically roll over to you.  Do you have his latitudes account number or the voucher numbers?

Yes, I have the voucher numbers, and I have at least one of the latitude numbers.

Call NCL and transfer the Cruise Next certificates to your latitudes account so that you can use them. 

 

If they are pre-pandemic, you should act quickly before they expire. 

 

You can use one or more certificates and transfer other certificates to your fried for use. 

 

No refunds. 

Thank you.

A few years ago, just prior to Covid my late husband and I purchased vouchers to be used on future trips.  My husband passed away a year ago.  Does anyone know what happens to those vouchers.  Can I apply for a refund, or do they roll over to me?  I am planning to book a new cruise on NCL and would like to use mine and another one for a friend.  Thank you for your future responses.

It is OK, but I like to have the everyday menu to go back to.

which airline are you flying to australia with?

United

I will be flying from Sydney and Cairns in a few months.  Is there any low-cost airline that would service that route?? Thank you.

  I am Diamond +, so I usually don't bring any beverages onboard with me.  My companion only likes certain sodas that are not carried on Royal Caribbean.  He also likes flavored water which is also not carried on Royal Caribbean.  Does anyone know the current rules regarding bringing soda and flavored water onboard??

Thank you.

In the past, I was able to book reservations for both of these prior to boarding.  Has that changed?

What is the main show onboard the Odyssey?  Were you able to make reservations for the shows prior to boarding?  Were you able to make reservations for Ifly and North Star prior to boarding?

Thank you!

Have heard that some benefits have changed.  Does anyone know which have changed?  Do we still get a few free drinks on our account?  Is there any discount on laundry?  Thank you

We will be in Paris in November.  I started looking for a hotel, and only became confused.  We would like to be fairly central, and near a metro station.  We will arrive at Orly and leave from CDG.  Anyone have a suggestion?  We are looking for a moderate to above hotel.  About $150. to $200./ night.  Also what areas are best and most safe?  Appreciate any help.  Thank you

When I’m talking shows I’m really talking production shows. Yes they had a couple solo singers in Eden but they had those in the atrium as well, and I didn’t consider it a show.  Just musical entertainment.  There was a solo singer in the showlounge  Claire Maidin who is married to the Hotel Director.  She was accompanied by the 8-piece Celebrity orchestra. That really was a show, a true performance,  and a good one at that.  What I saw in Eden was basically a cocktail lounge singer.  Not a show.  Unfortunately none of those production shows you mentioned.  I would have loved to see them, and see Eden in that element. 

I am curious.  Is  Claire Maiden a pretty blond British singer?   If so, I remember her with her previous last name, and she was not married to the Hotel Director. She is wonderful.  I would love to see if she is going to be on any of my future cruises this year.

Not only that, in most ports, the cruise ship work is overtime for them.  Plus the crazy tips being handed them.

 

Figure a small ship, 3000 passengers.  That is likely even with 1 bag per person, tipping $5 per bag, that is $15,000 in tips.  For a few hours work.  That they are being paid to do.

Very good point.

I appreciate all the responses.  It sounds like what I expected.  I have already purchased a biodegradable urn and the funeral home has put some of his ashes in it.

Again, thank you for your help.

Does anyone know what RCCL's policy is regarding ashes overboard.?  My husband loved cruising just like I do.  He wanted some of his ashes to be spread over the back of a cruise ship.  I know there must be many regulations, and I want to do it the legal approved way..  Does anyone have experience in doing this?  Can someone arrange for the Captain to say a few words?

I would appreciate all comments.  Thank you.
