Questions re: Meraviglia cruise

[tbmrt]

Just booked a short 3 night cruise on Meraviglia.  Have a few questions that I haven't been able to find answers to on the internet, and since I booked using cc points, I cannot easily get responses from their travel agency.  Would appreciate your input on the following:

 

1.   Is there a way I could tell if the sofa is by the balcony (standard balcony, deck 10).  I saw a video online about 10160 and it showed bed by balcony...However, my TA told me that MSC definitely told her sofa was by balcony. 

 

2.  Read that we bring beach towel from our cabin to Ocean Cay.  Do we leave wet towels there or must we bring back to ship?

 

3.  No Meet & Mingles yet?

 

4.  Is it possible for ships not to stop at Ocean Cay due to weather?  If so, what happens on a short cruise?

 

Thanks!

Yes some cabins Haven bed near the balcony, but those are few.

 

Yes on towel if not in YC.

 

No m&m yet.

 

Ocean cay, Sea day has been my experience if cannot dock.

I was in cabin 10082 and our bed was near the balcony with sofa.  I'm not sure how to tell which cabins would have the bed by the balcony but for some reason I thought it may be every other room but can't remember why I thought that.

 

You bring your towels to the beach but when you go back to the ship you turn in your wet towels for a clean one.

 

I"m not sure about meet & mingles.

 

It is possible for the ship not to dock in Ocean Cay due to weather.  I believe you would have an extra sea day.

Thanks for response.  Since I wrote this post I received an email from MSC telling me the meet & mingles have not started yet, but will start again in the future.

 

So we carry our wet towels back to the ship from the beach?

Yes.  Carry them back and then you exchange them before leaving Ocean Cay. There is an attendant who will take and swap with you.
