  1. Thank you for the review! We are sailing on the Jewel for 22 days out of Tampa this December and the first time on an older ship in forever. Driving down from the cold and blister North also!
  2. OMG and here I thought we were the only ones that do that! In January it was hilarious on the Epic to sit between Spinnaker and Maltings and watch the people turn right at the curve and go into Wasabi and Teppenyaki and would have to turn around and find their way out. Yes, it was lame but it was hilarious to watch. Definitely better than sitting in O'Sheehans and listening to a movie from below at the atrium blaring or Deal or No Deal.
  3. I am older (well old for me late 50s) and have no problems working a phone, computer or anything else technical. I do not go on a cruise and use my cell phone. It goes in the safe and stays there until the day we get ready to get off of the ship. The reason I would not go or would walk out is I hate being entertained by other passengers. When Carnival went down this road with their entertainment mostly being done by passengers we switched lines and have not been back. The being old thing and not being able to work the phone doesn't jive for me
  4. Curious myself as I am ready to book December 2025 but MSC has no Caribbean sailings out of FL posted for that time yet. Most other cruise lines have had them out for a long time.
  5. On the Epic in January, it was tasty but tough as a brick. Not edible. It did have the runny brown gravy or sauce on it.
  6. I agree it is very subjective! We don't care for MSC's pizza at all. I wish they had more than the 3 they offer, Marguerita, Cheese, and Pepperoni, all thin crust.
  7. 14 cruises on MSC and love their food in MDR. I have read on MSC boards many YC people complaining that MDR food is better than the YC.
  8. And here I thought the Epic was bad in January. We did have one beef choice every night on the MDR menu other than the really tough New York Strip. Mostly though the emphasis was on cheap fish, (swai, bluefish, hake), some type of turkey several times and cheap cuts of pork. Gone are the days of Grouper, Snapper, Salmon, Swordfish. I have only had turkey on a cruise during Thanksgiving but it is actually one of the main items now the same as pork (pork loin, pork medallions, pork ribs, pork chops, pork belly, etc). We have a 22 day cruise on the Jewel and then we are going back to MSC because we miss their food.
  9. @Birdnutty Thank you so much for the review! Hard to believe it has been a year and still no one else has done a review and I can find nothing out about this port. Very little on YouTube or anywhere else. We are going to be at this port twice in December and trying to find out everything we can. I see you said there is no food on the island which is the same as I seen from someone else on another social site. That person also stated you could pick up a box lunch. Is there information about this in the Dailies? How did you know to go to the buffet to get a box lunch??? I see there is a stand with a local selling some drinks. I also seen that you took a few of your own with you. I am assuming it would be okay to take a couple of waters off of the ship since resources are limited. The picture of the guy providing the drinks was pretty dirty from what I seen on another site. Any other information you can provide would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance.
  10. I made ours at 4am last time and was able to get what I wanted. 2 hours later (6am EST) and others could not get reservations they wanted, all the allotted times were gone except 8:30pm. I believe they were 5:30, 6:30, 7:30 and 8:30 for our Epic cruise.
  11. We are on the NCL Jewel in December and scheduled for Catalina Island, DR twice (b2b). I have found very little on the island. I did find one review from over a year ago but that is it. Has anyone been to this island recently? Any information would be great. Seen there was no food and the person that did the review did not know if there was drinks. Wondering if that has changed.
  12. Yes, you can still reserve main theater show. On the Epic for 7 days there was only Burn the Floor that you could reserve online since that is the only show they have
  13. Our opinions differ a lot. I prefer the shows. Just shows opinions will vary greatly
