Quite right. Those who are handicapped are going through enough as it stands. RCCL has rightly seen fit to meet their needs by setting aside a limited number of cabins for their use. Again, Kudos to the OP for wanting to do the right thing.

So, it's "all about me?" This response is sad in that it doesn't take into consideration the possible needs of another human being. Kudos to the OP for wanting to do the right thing and make the cabin available to someone who really needs it.

Yet, four out of the top 7 topics deal with the Yacht Club. That's 57% The OP has a valid point. I feel the same way. The implication on this board is that MSC is all about the Yacht Club.

Looking for a bargain? Take a vaporetto. You'll have amazing sights as well as meeting locals and tourists alike. You can board at P. Roma and either do a circle route or a back and forth. I would recommend a journey to Murano, where you can walk around and enjoy many glass making shops.

What about taxis? Are they waiting to pick you up?

On the surface, this appears to be a break even game. All the quarters put in will eventually fall out. Right? Not so. What I observed was a significant number of quarters falling off the sides of the visible area before coming down to the payout area in the middle (I hope this makes sense). Having said that, the game is fun and you may luck out and win a bill.

Looking to book a Deck 8 Obstructed View cabin on Meraviglia. I notice some of the cabins are actually between the lifeboats and have a better view. Any information on how to find these cabins?

Ha!!! Yes, we were.

Thanks for the great advice. Somehow, I can't see myself with a butler. Probably the result of my background, growing up in a relatively poor family in NYC. I'd have to really think that one over.🙂

Those are the dates I'm considering as well. I see the status match requires an RCCL membership card. Would our last Sea Pass Card be accepted? Can I assume the status match does not include the five free drinks or two days of free internet?

Royal's outrageous prices have led me to consider trying MSC. Prices are a lot more reasonable and sailing from Brooklyn is certainly more appealing to us than Bayonne. In addition, friends have highly recommended MSC for their entertainment and food. I know MSC has a status match with RCCL. What exactly would it mean for a D+? Any other helpful hints or suggestions for booking with MSC would be greatly appreciated.

Curious... what were the "minor inconveniences" that generated 35% in credits?

You have to ask yourself if the extra points are worth the additional cost.

Easiest place to do this is the casino.

Hmm... that will cost an extra $360 in parking fees,
