  1. On the MSC website- When I do a test booking without logging in to my MSC account (that has my Voyagers club account) it shows price$. When I do the same test booking while logged in it shows the same price$. Why is it not showing the discount for voyagers? TIA
  2. Meraviglia- Top19 Attendant & towel service 🙂 Side area only separated from public space by posts and belt barriers whirlpool ✔️ temporary bar ✔️ 2 'conversation/relaxation areas' (coffee table, love seat & 2 chairs- w/pads) where folks camp out all day overlooks main pool (watch big screen & games) Has its own music but is drowned out by main pool speakers (so why?) Though it was supposed to be adults only- but not. One side was smoking area Aurea in general My time dining in own dining room🙂 Nicely scented room diffuser 🙂 slippers and robe (both kinda small size) Special embarcation line (only slightly faster)
  3. someone must have told them to "just play something American" I agree not the correct ambiance for this restaurant.

    New to MSC

    just know the short sailings are generally a younger crowd that enjoys drinking
  5. From their Facebook page: “Ahoy, we have just had a meeting with MSC Cruises. We are pleased MSC Cruises are taking this very seriously and have apologised profusely and expressed their disappointment with what happened to us on the MSC World Europa. They are going to be taking proactive measures to prevent such incidents in the future, including the implementation of a fleet wide training program to equip crew members with better skills to handle similar situations. Furthermore, MSC Cruises has extended an invitation for us to collaborate on developing a new policy for content creators and filming/taking photographs onboard. This policy aims to support both invited and non-invited content creators while safeguarding the comfort and privacy of passengers and crew. We think this marks a significant step forward, as no other cruise line has undertaken such an effort before. In addition to these measures, MSC Cruises will be providing us with a full refund. We really want to move past this incident and transform the negativity surrounding it into something positive. We have accepted the apology offered by MSC Cruises. We sincerely thank you all for your amazing support throughout this all. Now, we are eager to refocus on our passion: creating entertaining cruise content and sharing our adventures with you all. Thank you once again for your support.”
  6. From most of the reviews/pictures I've seen for Mer/YC balcony cabins, the couch is by the balcony, so bed by bath. Has anyone had a bed by the balcony?? Usually the position is flipped every other cabin but it doesn't seem that way in YC. Thanks
  7. I sailed early Nov- it was the old sh!t show.
  8. @Bibifamily let your son know there are roomier showers in the spa/gym.
  9. Yes, Thank you. Words cannot express how sorry I am to hear this. I know you had a special bond with Ted. I hope you will find peace in your amazing memories- eventually.
  10. I’ve enjoyed renting bikes. Wondering around and riding on the beach. Kayak tours also. Have to uber/lyft to/from as Nothing is walkable from ships
  11. @JamieLogical Hmmm- thanks for the heads up. 🍹 I shall toast him the next time I’m in Edge- To his happiness wherever that may be.
  12. I had a discussion with a few crew members who told me they were Chinese- 2 really big groups of over 400 each with two tour companies. There was a bit of confusion at the buffett because of the language barrier and they were really into hanging with each other and moving about in big packs. Somo folks were Not happy but I just tried to smile and made basic hand movements to communicate.
  13. We're on this sailing too-I'm thinking not a lot of kids. I sailed Meraviglia last Nov- it was a real mix, and largest % by far were chinese tourists.
  14. @ESCARGOHey Ted have any plans to sail Meraviglia again?? (have no idea if you'll even see this)
  15. For those of you curious about Ocean Cay (as I was) here are a few gems. I found a great FB page with the building of Ocean Cay (it's in Italian but just use the translate button). There are pictures from construction and a few cool architectural video renderings. Don't think I can post the FB link, but you can always look it up "Ocean Cay Msc Marine Reserve paradise" I've attached a few pictures I found of the 'island' before development, a rendering that was Not chosen (note amphitheater in the center) and an early map. I've also included a early presentation/promo for travel agents. (note the part about being able to rent a smaller island) If you're wondering; from what I've found on the interwebs the upcoming closure/construction will include some new building to house more staff and marine research folks. A possible marine research center with coral studies. Some smaller service buildings for rental and excursion operations. And of course dredging to allow bigger ships to dock. 😃COOL- right???

  16. OMG Never have I ever had fried pickles that were sweet. Ive only had dills either slices or spears. The last evening of my Merv cruise I tried the fried pickles in the pub and received small sweet gherkins in minimal batter. Is that the norm? Im thinking/hoping someone just grabbed the wrong jar. I did send them back and got a refund.
  17. @ESCARGO hey Ted it was great hanging out this week. Hope our paths will cross again. Amanda
  18. I just had a white pizza with sausage at the buffet
  19. looking forward to your adventures in Miami! I still have no idea what I'm going to do there. If you could post Ray's son's suggestions that would be great. TIA
