Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. We are partial with Princess too and Princess does have ANYTIME dining for those who does not want the lock in time.
  2. We had been on both ships and had been through the canal (Pacific - Atlantic) but not on them. As either ships would go THROUGH the canal and you would get experience to see how the locks operate from the comfort of your ship(s) which costs nothing. We did a small boat excursion into the lock, it was nice to touch the canal wall etc but one thing to remember the cruise ship pays PRIORITY to go through but not the small boat tour it must tag a long with another big ship to go through canal the waiting time can be a few minutes or longer.
  3. We had cruised from Miami several and once we got used to with Port Canaveral no look back for us because this port is easy to get to and the parking is also so much easy. We had cruised on MSC several times from port Canaveral and our next one will be on the Seashore in a few weeks. All our MSC cruises were not YC but good for the money we paid for. Happy cruising
  4. MSC does not check the boarding time. On our last four cruises we just showed up whenever time and there is a line for Diamond members on the right hand side. Once you complete the procedures (including re-take the picture) they would let you board (if the ship is already cleared).
  5. We were on Seaside twice and for a diamond specialty dinner were at Butcher's Cut only (both cruises were on April and July this year). We were non-yatch club. You will need to reserve the time slot as soon as you are on board. In July the dinner slot ran out by 12.30 pm and only lunch slots were available.
  6. Per Cozumel (Quintana Roo Mexico, Riviera Maya) cruise port schedule | CruiseMapper. October 29 Meraviglia will be only ship in Cozumel. On our last 3 MSC stops at Cozumel 2 at Punta Langosta and 1 at International pier. You might end up with either those piers.
  7. We had twice also agree the canapes are not so good. 1. A plate of canapes with 6 pieces (very small) of something. 2. A plate of chocolate covered strawberries (6 or eight) way over ripened. We did not bother to eat these. We did not order or place an order they just showed up.
  8. Yes, there is decaf coffee (already made) at the buffets (decks 8th and 16th). These buffets also have decaf tea bags to make for yourself.
  9. Some ships open 24 hours some do not. I am an early riser I would start very early of the day/late night. You might be better off doing your own laundry than to send it out. $3 a load to wash and $3 a load to dry. Just bring along some detergent pods/dryer sheets. The laundry room also has iron to press the clothes too.
  10. I hope they will have them on Seashore too as I have seen the buns on Divina and Meraviglia - yum yum.
  11. We did not cruise on Euribia but can answer the above questions per our experiences on Seaside. 2. The TV screen around the ship would let you do for all the people on your booking by using cruise card(s). 5. In most cabins MSC does not provide FACE TOWELS but will provide bath/hand towels. If you need face towels just ask your cabin attendant for them you could have just one day or everyday.
  12. As a Diamond level VC, out 4 sailings 2 times robes and slippers were in the cabin on the first day, 1 time we asked for them and the last time they forgot it all together and did not have diamond priority departure/diamond party and other benefits as stated on the provided list. MSC very inconsistency on their benefits. On last cruise they did not bother to send out an email for the survey. MSC might get too famous to care how they had performed.
  13. Yes, it was our observation too. With status match program with many diamond members on board, we are wondering if MSC using this method to discourage diamond people from using this benefit. It it was very strange in late May we could choose anytime and any date then 2 months late on the same ship they told us such. We like MSC enough to cruise with them but not too happy on some of their ways of doing things such 3 MDR seatings and $5 charge for another entree etc.
