Can anyone share the officers on board? Or the Cruise Director at the very least? Update: from a couple of press articles the CD appears to be Marzena Slodyczka.

Awesome! Looking forward to meeting you.

I’m not an experienced TA cruiser but I’d assume Lisbon to Miami could be warmer than London to NY. Either way, I’m determined to use the outdoor space if the weather is even remotely better than the Sept 2022 TA.

I’d take the cold over everyone’s bare feet all over every square inch of the lounge. I was determined to make the most of it - did the slide once and a couple of the infinity pools. While the water was heated, getting out was brutal. Really hoping this year’s TA provides a lot more opportunity to use all the amazing outdoor spaces.

Anyone else joining the first TA on the Viva?

What ever happened to Supermarket Sweep? I may have missed that discussion somewhere.

Having been on the ship, that's correct. None of the indoor venues are all that spacious either, with the exception of the theater that converts into a decent sized night club.

Whew!

How did you find out capacity of this sailing? I'll be on the sailing right after this one and would be interested in knowing.

Good to hear! And you were on the Meraviglia?

Shirtless dinners sound exciting 😆

Apparently this is normal. I just asked this the other day -

I'm sensing a theme here 😂 Thanks for the info, v helpful!

First time on MSC - have a few questions about the spa for an upcoming 3 night cruise (tried searching but the search function here is having a meltdown). If anyone has recent experience and willingness to answer I'd appreciate the insight. I'm only seeing 2 body treatment options on the site/app to book ahead of time. "Traditional Balinese Massage" and "Bali Massage with Hot Lava Stones" ...will there be more offered once onboard? When booking pre-cruise it appears to take your money but you don't book a time. How does this work? Assuming access to the thermal area is not granted w/ purchase of treatment? Is the cost in fact lower when you pre-book (ex: currently $119 for the traditional massage)?

Yep, this is true and is the case for most cruise lines. I just booked 3 cabins, all separately.
