So sorry you are unwell, hope you feel better soon.  Did you notice if the casino is non smoking?

I believe it is non smoking

Opps, I tried..i see i duplicated some..also I dont think igot tuesday or wednsday..sorry..but this will give you an idea

I just got back from my seashore trip. Unfortunately, the last couple of days I contracted covid! I thought it was a sinus infection but sadly no…I believe i have all the dailys… when i feel better ill try to download them here Im not very computer savey? 

Ive been upgraded for free by MSC from Bella inside to a balcony…Very happy.

Im going to be on the very next week starting Nov 26th. Was also hoping to see some dailys, etc for that ship but..I will bring them all home and see if I can download them here.

Hello fellow cruisers…I am going on my 2nd ever MSC cruise on the Seashore this November! My previous one was on Seaside @ 4 years ago. Im doing this cruise on a budget and forfeited the “free drink package” which lowered my fair on Bella inside cabin from $689 to $350. (Plus tax/ port chgs) I am not a big drinker a couple a day will work for me in addition to the free iced tea..

Anyways I was wondering if any of you seasoned MSC cruisers could tell me if the cruiseline offers any drink deals at certain clubs? Also any idea about how much the “drink of the day”costs? I know Ill be invited to the Captains party as I was matched to Diamond black card level from my status with Royal…. Thanks everyone.

Thanks Kingbob…That explains why the video blog I watched stated that there was only water available ( without purchase) And, I think your plate looks yummy!!

Thank you so much…Im praying its the same on the “SeaSHORE” as it was on the “seaSIDE”….most of my cruising experience has been on RCL and with RCL there are sometimes inconsistencies on the ships in their fleet. …Thanks for your help.

There are juice options available in the buffet. It changes throughout the day.

TY

I just saw a review of the MSC Seashore on YouTube…He claimed that there was only 1)Hot water (for tea); 2)coffee; and 3) cold water available as complementary drinks in the buffet as well as the MDR. Please tell me thats not true. Im going on that ship nov 26th to Mexico and I picked it because it fit my budget so please dont tell me that I could get an optional drink package, I already know this.

I was able to book all shows @exactly 90 days out for our recent Allure show. I booked the comedy show in the small comedy live venue for early in the week then it let me book another comedy show for the Main Amber theater the last night of the show. I had thought that perhaps the shows would be different because it let me book each and also I guess because they were in different venus..but with the exception of just a couple of lines from each comedian, it was the same material.

Did either of you who were just on Allure notice if they offered any 3D movies in the theater? They used to have them and we really loved that last time we were on her. I looked at someones compass they posted and couldn't find any 3D.

That was the High Seas Rally. It was a charity benefit for Kidney Dialysis and Kidney transplant. Last two cruises have been a full ship charter on Brilliance. Some of us would like them to come back to the bigger ships as 1/2 charter. 

Oh I know...we had no problem with them being on board. And their costumes were incredible! The only time I was “inconvenienced” was when hubby and I wanted to wander around onthe pool deck one evening and they were holding a cocktail party if you didnt have a wrist band for being with the “High Seas Group”.

I'd be guessing but it sounds like there's a large group onboard that are reserving the usual overflow venues. We were on her last month and there were no cocktails served in the DL.  They were served in Blaze.

Funny you should say this...the last time we cruised over Halloween years ago, we were on Freedom of the seas and there was a large (like 1/2 the ship) group of Bikers on board. And yes they had private events that excluded entry into certain public areas.

The specialty coffee on your sea pass is great if you are not doing a beverage plan! Should be faster to get than at the DL!

Yes, although I don't expect the mornings to be an issue in the lounge if everyones take on this notice is correct and the lounge is open but potentially crowded. It is a nice token on their part but I actually have the Royal Refreshment which includes specialty coffee. 

Got the following notice just now regarding my sailing this Sunday on Allure. Do you think they are saying that we will not have a Diamond lounge? We are Diamond members. I know like they say we have the 3 free drinks but I enjoy the lounge as well.😭

What are you most looking forward to on your cruise...

with ours just a little over a week away, I am looking forward to using my refreshment package and getting my fill of frozen coffee drinks. I get them instead of desert at cafe promenade! Cant wait!

I vote for wipeout Cafe. Lots of tables and in my experience they also have bagels and lox..hope thats still the case. Ill let yall know in 8 days!

This is fascinating!  We too have booked GTY OV balconies. Ours indicate we are on Deck 6 AFT Port side. Luggage tags say "C" and are on the far left back quadrant colored mint green. Muster Station is F04 on Oasis of the Seas. Another 47 days until we sail. Was hoping we were a little more central/mid-ship. But sounds like we are going to be further back. No prob getting our Fitbit steps in!

 

 

It sounds like you have a boardwalk balcony. We have a gty neighborhood balcony booked for the 27th on Allure (sister ship of Oasis) our muster was F02 and our luggage tags were also C mint green. Anyways, we got our cabin assignment at 30 days prior to our upcoming sail date and we are in a BW balcony port side...If im not mistaken F04 is also BW. 

Were going on Allure in a couple of weeks. We were on her several years ago. I was really looking forward to going to the Main theater to see some 3D movies again but I just got done looking at someones cruise compass from this past September and I dont see any listings for the 3D movies only a few movies offered at the aqua theater. Does anyone know if they no longer do the 3D in the theater?

When I walk onboard. Because no matter how hard I try to not be, I am a nervous traveller! Once I get onboard I feel Ive made it and I can relax.
