smokeykat Posted May 17, 2023 #3 Share Posted May 17, 2023 1 -How are the lounge chairs by the pool? Are the chair hogs up early reserving? Does MSC enforce any pool rules about lounges? 2 - Are there bar waiters walking around the pool area? 3- Is the casino crowded? I saw a report that said the casino was not big like other cruise lines. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserFromNJ Posted May 17, 2023 #4 Share Posted May 17, 2023 1. Are there plugs near the bed for CPAP machines? If not how far away would the nearest plug be so we know how long an extension cord to bring. 2. Are you allowed to bring packaged snacks to keep in the cabin? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks There are no plugs by the bed, they are by the desk. I ordered a long cord. If packaged, sealed yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittymadam Posted May 18, 2023 #6 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Are the walls metal so that we can bring a super strong magnet to hang stuff on? Can you share the Daily Planners as you go? Sailing in a week and want to preplan some things. Toiletries attach to wall type or individual bottles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are in Nassau today, so I'll let you know tomorrow. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plugs are not by the bed, they are at the little desk area. I'd suggest a decent length extension cord. Remember they can't be surge protectors. I have brought packaged snacks on before with no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnet hooks are great. 2. I'll take pics and post later. 3. Attached to the wall. Only shampoo and shower gel. It doesn't seem to be shampoo with conditioner, so my hair isn't the same as I'm used to. Also, no bars of soap. It is like you get in a public bathroom.

Cruising since 3 Posted May 18, 2023 #12 Share Posted May 18, 2023 What has been the schedule for theme nights on your cruise? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittymadam Posted May 18, 2023 #13 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Is the ship using cruise cards where you slip a part of it down to open the door or it's a bracelet? (Want to see if I should bring lanyard, badge holder or hole punch card.) How is the dining service so far? Was there a Welcome Back Cocktail for regular members? (So not Yacht Club and if this is not your first time on MSC) Thanks for doing this! We are so anxious about our trip in 2 weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kittymadam Posted May 18, 2023 #15 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Do you feel like there is enough non-music entertainment on the cruise to keep you busy? Wondering if we should bring a deck of cards or prepare to entertain ourselves on the sailing days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(So not Yacht Club and if this is not your first time on MSC) Thanks for doing this! We are so anxious about our trip in 2 weeks! Onboard this week as well. You tap your cruise card to the door, and it unlocks your cabin. Dining service is excellent. We’ve also eaten in the specialty restaurants, and they are exceptional. Def worth buying a package with 3 1/2 sea days. The food in the buffet is very good. I’m gluten free and have found plenty of healthy options. Today, the buffet had a dessert bar (I’ll post a pic below), and tomorrow’s will be all chocolate according to the pastry chef. Yes, there is a welcome back cocktail party. Ours is today (Friday) at 5pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZandZ Posted May 19, 2023 #18 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Hello and thank you so much for taking the time to take questions! I am curious about the smoking policy and how its being enforced. I've heard that the cruise line tends to slack on this and lots of areas smell like smoke and folks smoke in their cabins/balconies. Are you experiencing any of this? Thanks!

We are not buying the alcohol package, so trying to see where to get low price drinks. 😃 (First time sailing CHILD-FREE!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also have ESPN and ESPN 2 on the cabin TV. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you experiencing any of this? Thanks! I haven't seen or smelled smoke anywhere except slightly in the Casino. Seems people are keeping to the smoking areas. I can't speak to balconies because we are in an inside cabin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
