Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Gives new meaning to the phrase "coming out of the closet." (LOL!)
  2. Morpheus, thank you for that information. I have read on these boards that the crew is supposed to turn over cash tips to be pooled, but I did not think that this would apply to staff that are not part of the DSC, such as the butler and the concierge on NCL.
  3. I have $675 OBC from my TA. On NCL I am able to use the OBC from my account to tip the Haven butler, concierge and steward In fact, the concierge has a form that is used for this purpose. Can this be done on MSC?
  4. There is an orange button at the top of the address page marked "search." Click on that and it will fill out the address (who knew?) But since you called MSC and they entered your information manually and issued your edocs there is no need for you to take a picture, they will take it at the port.
  5. Thanks for your post Brighton Line, but I called MSC this morning about the check-in and also asked about the health questionnaire and was informed that it is no longer needed. She also emailed the embarkation forms which I printed out and there is no health questionnaire included. (Please see post #4 above.)
  6. I had the same problem as you guys. I did manage to have the picture taken on the app but then it wanted me to scan my passport and that didn't work too well. I decided to use my Chromebook instead and was able to input passport info manually, but when it came to the picture it was a no-go. I finally gave up and called MSC and the pleasant agent said that the picture will be taken at the port and completed my check-in and promptly emailed it to me. (And I wasn't even put on hold!)
  7. We sail on the Meraviglia on Mar. 10. I needed help with my check-in and just phoned MSC. While on the phone I asked about the health questionnaire and the agent told me that they don't require it anymore.
  8. We were in star class on the Anthem and the tour was complimentary (or pre-paid as I think of it, considering what we paid for the cabin). We got to see the kitchen, back stage, and the bridge.
  9. I have cruised on NCL extensively (Breakaway 3X, Getaway, Spirit, Dawn, Sky, Jewel, Gem, Star, Pearl, and Sea) and do not remember tables for two being that close together. I'm not saying that they don't exist, just that we have never experienced it, unlike our experiences with Celebrity, where we we basically a party of four, or six, or eight.
  10. I was on last week's sailing where we skipped Port Canaveral. Just checked my credit card account and saw that Royal has refunded one day's fare. I'm a happy camper!
  11. First ime Royal cruisers here. We will be at Coco Cay next week Does RCL hand out that map or is it on some other site?
  12. Thanks for the info. We will be on the Anthem on Sunday (hi Toddcan, maybe we'll see you around the ship). We have done this cruise about eight times (it's our anniversary celebration) but on NCL. We were planning to skip P.C anyway, so it isn't an issue for us. In Nassau we might go to Junkanoo beach--or not. I do like the OBC part, though,
  13. I'd like to thank you and also The Fun Researcher for both of your detailed replies. Here I should tell you that this is m first time on RCL (almost all our cruises have been on NCL) so I am not used to reserved dining. But we have special dining and also access to Coastal Kitchen because we are in a suite. I was just wondering if we can just show up at a MR if we like that night's menu. Thanks again for explaining how it works!
  14. Thanks for the review! We will be on the Anthem next month so this was very helpful. I just have a couple of questions: what days and times was the rock show? Did it have a story line or was it just a collection or Queen songs? You said that you went to the main dining room. Did you need a reservation or can you just show up and be seated?
