ready2cruzagain Posted November 22, 2018 #1 Share Posted November 22, 2018 We are on the Divina now, in Cartagena, Wi-Fi is bad in port but have a few things to say. Love the cruise! Food is great, crew is friendly and so many activities! After 38 cruises, this is our favorite so far! Ate, Ziggy is here until Dec 9th and returns Feb 20, 2019. We had D rinks in us and upgraded to classic. Classic is now premium, deluxe is now premium plus and dou is easy. No problems and have a better package now. Classic is drinks up to $12 We are in Bella category so if you have questions will try to answer. Only getting Wi-Fi in port. I just want to repeat, this is an awesome cruise!!!!! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

14nascarfan Posted November 22, 2018 #3 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I found the ship to not have enough santizer...lucky I remembered to bring my own!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidari Posted November 22, 2018 #4 Share Posted November 22, 2018 R2C ... Good to hear you are enjoying your cruise, though the drink packages still seem to be a mystery. MSC have told those people with Deluxe that they will not get the PP onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidari Posted November 24, 2018 #15 Share Posted November 24, 2018 R2C ... I know you have the Classic package but do you speak with anyone who has the Deluxe? if so any chance you could ask if they can get either Baileys or Ameretto in the small bottles for the Mini bar ? or possibly you cabin steward. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCTribeFan Posted November 25, 2018 #17 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I just have Drinks on Us. Since I drink almost exclusively wine & beer, I hope I'll be fine with that. As for hand sanitizer, really, people, just wash your own hands. Often. Don't touch things and then put your hands on your face or, ugh, in your mouth. If you must use sanitizer (NOT a substitute for washing) carry a little travel size with you at all times. Glad you're enjoying it. I'm really, really hoping I'll like it since I'm considering a spring cruise to Cuba. Please keep posting! See you in 2 weeks! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ready2cruzagain Posted November 27, 2018 Author #20 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Well our first cruise is almost over, excited for part 2! We agree this is the best cruise out of 38! i can not understand people that say crew is not friendly, it has been right the opposite for us. They go way over and beyond! Awesome everything! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTribeFan Posted November 27, 2018 #21 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I think every cruise is different and people on the same sailing can have very different experiences depending on many different things - expectations, choices made on what to do, timing, etc. I know I've read reviews of cruises I've been on and thought, "Wow! That wasn't my experience at all!" I'm glad you're still enjoying it. Keep that Good Vibe going for another couple of weeks! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14nascarfan Posted November 27, 2018 #22 Share Posted November 27, 2018 So true..what’s good for the goose may not be for the gander. I just go with the flow and enjoy her ports and do our own thing. One thing that bothers me how people put their towels on the chairs and show up at the end of the noon hour and one couple told us they put one in shade and one in the sun... that really annoys me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw the same thing on Seaside and these 4 people had lunges on Deck 7 & Aft Pool from 6:30 AM until 11:30 AM saved. Told 2 MSC Staff and they said they could not do anything about it. Personally, I think this is wrong and regardless from what country these people were from, that is totally caring about oneself, forget everyone else. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this your first MSC cruise? We were long-time Royal cruisers and haven't been back after our first MSC cruise in the Med. Great to hear you are having an awesome cruise! We will see you on Dec 9 for your 2nd part of your B2B cruise. Who/what show replaced the Michael Jackson show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
