Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Good for you. Everyone has different experiences in life. And there’s an old saying: your results may vary.
  2. Lots of good info on the fb group page. I’m not sure why NCL roll calls are not as popular as they used to be on CC.
  3. Sorry not sorry, but I was assured by several reps - including mid-level management - at MSC Corporate that USD are used in the casino. And yes, I specified the ship and sailing date. As a travel agent, I always check multiple times when working with a new-to-me cruiseline, especially when the information on their website is questionable. It didn’t sound right so I questioned it. And I wasn’t the only American who received that misinformation. 🤷‍♀️
  4. Awesome! Without promoting that “other” social media site… if you are on fake book, there is a private group to join. Liz
  5. Because one never knows and it doesn’t hurt to ask - that’s what this forum is about. I brought USD on MSC World Europa after being told by multiple parties at MSC that the shipboard currency was USD - and the casino only accepted Euros. I prefer to avoid that surprise again since I live in the US.
  6. Greetings to all! I’m cruising on Getaway from Lisbon to Southampton at the end of July. According to the NCL website, “all gaming is in US dollars”. Can anyone confirm this to be true? It’s been a few years since I sailed NCL in Europe and want to plan accordingly. Thanks! Liz
  7. I’ve been following your adventures, since I’m boarding WE on Friday. As far as transfers in Genoa - did you check the website rome2rio dot com? I have found some good ideas there in the past. Crossing my fingers that you find a solution - safe travels home, Liz
  8. Can someone provide YC tipping “guidelines”, please? My April cruise will be my 75th cruise overall, second time on MSC but first time in YC (or similar category). I usually tip my stateroom attendant and waiter in cash (above and beyond DSC) but am stumped when it comes to butler, concierge, etc. Thanks in advance! Liz
  9. I will be cruising with you all. Second time on MSC, first time in Yacht Club. Arriving BCN a day early, to explore one of my favorite cities in the world! Liz

    Two Divina tips

    My first time on MSC, 73rd cruise overall, and this was the first ocean cruise without either item. (No washcloths on two of my three river cruises.). There were five people in our group, total of three staterooms and it was the same situation for all of us. There was a metal plate covering the opening where you’d typically find tissues in the bathroom, so that seems to be a permanent thing. And we had different stateroom attendants so it wasn’t human error. It’s a mystery… Liz
  11. If you are sailing on Divina, bring your own tissues (Kleenex) and washcloth. Neither were in the staterooms for the 10/21-10/24 sailing. Liz
  12. I’ve scoured the MSC board here on CC and have looked online but can’t find definitive answers to my questions.. I’m hoping my fellow CC’ers can help. I received (earne?) the infamous 30% off coupon while on my Divina cruise. I found a 2023 cruise that looks great and want to book a Yacht Club stateroom. Do I book the stateroom, pay the full price, and receive a reimbursement after I return from the cruise, or do I apply a coupon code to my online booking, or ??? I have seen several different procedures here on CC and am not sure where to turn. The Casino department is closed today (Sunday) and I know I can call tomorrow, but I found a great airfare and placed it on hold - and the hold expires at midnight tonight. I called Customer Service, hoping someone could assist, but was told to call the Casino department tomorrow. Are there any MSC cruisers who can walk me through the process, please? Thanks in advance for your help! Liz

    Divina Dress Code

    Thank you, everyone! Liz
  14. We are sailing on Divina’s three-night itinerary in October, which overnights at Ocean Cay (no other ports of call). Our plan is to dress casually (only bring shorts, tops and bathing suits/cover-ups) and eat all of our meals in the buffet (avoid the MDR), . Someone in our group read that gents must wear long pants after 6:00pm - true? I don’t see that requirement on the MSC website and he doesn’t recall where he saw it. Thanks in advance for your help!
