This was my first thought LOL

Also, people are rude and don't care about other guests or the rules.

MSC might want to address this, especially after 2 people were detained in Miami with cocaine in their possession just very recently. Some ports of call are very strict with drugs.

From the Rucomped website regarding Dollars through slots for points. The cycled through is getting to my point earlier. To earn loyalty tier points on a slot machine at MSC Cruises, players must cycle through $5.00 dollars per tier point

On the slots there definitely is a very specific point per dollar. The thing that is forgotten is the you might put in $20 but if you are winning a little than losing some from the same original $20 but it adds up to maybe $200 through the machine each spin gets points. Also there are double point times that help points add up.

I can't imagine a water park goes with the whole marine reserve theme. Also, I would not think they would close the island to build something in the middle of the island that is pretty much closed off now. The more I think about it, it most likely is to widen and deepen the channel and maybe extend the docking area. This will also make docking in higher seas easier for the other ships and less missed spots. Other work on the island can then be done during this time, like making the Ocean House bigger. They might even address a lasting fix for the YC rock issue

This is why I always find the host the last night and get my certificate from them directly.

They did in early April

We have sailed a few times on Cruise Certificates earned on a previous cruise. Do not expect too much from the casino. It really is dependent on the host. When we had Lucky Lynn she was great. A welcome gift and checked in a lot during the cruise. The next cruise we had a horrible temp host. The following cruise the host was decent but he was very busy since it seemed like a lot of casino certificate people were on board.

This article is just plain wrong. The ship was NOT shut down. IT is poor journalism and ridiculous that MSN would allow this completely false statement be published. Also, the person they list as a source is a lawyer that specializes in suing cruise ships. He makes money off issues with cruise ships.

We have been on the Seashore 2 times last year and both times the bridge was closed due to cracks.

We had 2 experiences last year both in the YC. On the Meraviglia, people with shorts and a nice t-shirts at the dinner in the YC restaurant they were told to change. On the Divina, shorts and nice T-shirts were allowed in the YC restaurant. Depends on the YC restaurant manager, I guess.

This I understand but I still would let them know of my disagreement. I mainly was talking about the friends and family of Other Guests not in the YC.

I have never found this to be the case in any of my YC trips and will keep an eye out for it later this month. I would be very vocal if I found this to be true. I would keep pointing it out until people listened. People pay for this exclusivity and I expect that the rules would be enforced. To be honest, if the YC director wouldn't enforce it then I would go above him.

I checked the Match chart I found online and looks like Silver only matches to the lowest MSC level and as someone else said, they do not match points only level. If you had been Gold on NCL they would have matched you to Silver at 2,200 points.
