Live review Divina 11/14-11/21

The atrium last night was pretty quiet  Current situation coffee on our balcony and the reason we love an aft facing balcony

Valuable information, thank you very much.

When are the optional formal/theme nights?

At what time can you see the MDR dining menus?

The MDR menus are posted after the last meal period, so after breakfast they will post lunch IF they are serving MDR lunch (which they don't while at Ocean Cay, for example), so they will skip to Dinner.

 

Alternately, the whole cruise's menus have been pre-planned so if you want you can see all of them when you board and know which day of the week they will be served.  The Maitre D' on day 1 can help.  (This also informs when to book a specialty restaurant, for example)

You’re welcome! Tonight is casual I believe tomorrow is formal. It’s my birthday tomorrow so we’re dining at Butcher’s cut. Morgsmom is spot on with her menu answer. 
We plan to dine in the MDR for lunch before docking in Ocean Cay so I will post the lunch menu

Can you tell me if there is smoked salmon on the breakfast buffet?  I believe it's in MDR at BF.  Thanks.

There is! Calumet (sp?)buffet

Wow!  I'm impressed. I can't tell you how many years it's been since we've seen that on the buffet.  We've been sailing NCL and Princess.

That’s great now you’ll have something to look forward to!  
The buffet has had a lot of good choices. We’re surprised by how many considering there are so few people. 

Arrived at Ocean Cay on time but it’s a little cloudy right now. 

 

Today’s MDR menus 

Pulling into OC (view from deck 7 starboard)

I was waving to you from our ship.

We saw you off shore when we were pulling away from island.

Weather today was better than what we had yesterday..enjoy OC.

Happy Birthday!  Not a better way to celebrate a birthday than one on a cruise!

Weird to be sure!  But, I ought to have been able to engage in a favorite activity of mine if I was aboard:  converse with the bartenders.  Often, most interesting people who are willing to talk about their families, their countries, and other cruises on which they have worked.  

[quattrohead]

Yep we saw you from way out whilst still docked when we were having breakfast. Thanks for making way for us !!! 

It is seriously quiet everywhere and I have to admit whilst it is nice it is also a bit of a damper. Only 2 bars and 1 food truck open on the island today.

It's Kim's birthday on Wednesday, I'd better get a cake organized 🎉

We saw you guys too! Waiting for the lighthouse show now on the beach with about a dozen other people.

We’re definitely enjoying that aspect of being able to engage more with the crew.

Cool our birthdays are a day apart. Big 55 for me this year yikes!!😬

Walking around the ship tonight before coming outside we’re wondering how much longer they can sail with so few passengers. I hope the crew is making enough money.

For some reason the icon to upload pics isn’t there at the moment so I can’t upload anything right now 

 

[styles27]

It’s back lol

Took these at around 7:30 pm tonight

And in typical MSC style they noticed that there were lots of people waiting on the deck to see the lighthouse show and it's going to be at 9 not 8 LOL

Does the MSC For Me app have deck plans on it? Also the daily schedules and menus? I'm assuming the app has more functionality when you're on the ship versus what I see now before the cruise?
