Italian_Cruiser Posted December 1, 2018 #1 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Hi fellow cruisers, I've been here a lot lurking around until today :) I already cruised 1x with MSC (Splendida) and 2x with Costa (2x Luminosa) so I already somewhat know what to expect. I'm booked on the New Year's Eve Cruise departing Genoa on the 26th, and I have some questions, I would be tankful if someone is able to answer some of the following: Restaurants (1) - which one is better? L'edera (Deck 5) or Quattro Venti (Deck 6)? Restaurants (2) - anyone got luck to have a table for two for the dinner (I'm fantastica)? Are many available or just few? Restaurants (3) - anyone went to the oriental plaza with the pre-paid package? What's included? SPA (1) - I'm keen to purchase 76£/person for 11 days/10 nights (yes... I'm Italian but I work in London so £ prices...), what is the price on board? Any chance to score the cruise pass for less? SPA (2) - Ship is nearly full capacity (>10 cabins available 4 weeks prior to departing), will be the SPA actually usable or it will be extremely crowded? Cabin - I will be cruising in cabin 10247 - facing the wake of the ship - does anyone have any picture of the cabin? I'm especially curious about the balcony size (should be bigger than average?) Drink package - I've been able to purchase a package of cruise + classic package - after the packageGATE of the last week anyone had any issue on utilizing the old packages on board? Thanks in advance for your kind answers :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had any issue in the cabin during your cruise (noise, vibrations, ...)? Thanks! We did get some vibration plus a small amount of noise when the ship maneuvered in port. We also noticed, at certain speeds/propeller revs, a side to side rock at a frequency of 1 to 2 times a second. We have experienced this 'rock' on other ships, again at certain speeds/propeller revs. I think it must be caused by the vortexes of the props interacting with each other and pushing the ship to give the rock.

Pete Thanks - you're not the first claiming about the rocking of the ship - so I guess it's a shipwide problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
