  1. Apologies. Did not even fathom that this could be monetized 😉
  2. I'm just here for the comments - and you guys have not disappointed. Thank you.
  3. We board in about 10 days, and a few of the silliest questions still are unsure for me. We have YC on the Meriviglia leaving from Brooklyn in March. Luggage- We are parking at the Red Hook terminal parking lot. This is our first time at that port, and first time on MSC and (obviously) first time in YC. Normally, we drive our car to an area with luggage porters, tip them $10 and leave our bags with them, then park our car and walk into the terminal. With YC - do we just park our car in the garage, and walk our luggage with us to the YC line? Fridge Restocking- 1. We don't drink alcohol. We would like to have our fridge space better used for juices, waters, and pops, which we enjoy on vacation - do we just let our concierge or room attendant aware of our requests? Any chance there is some online form or email for these things? 2. Toblerone - I understand there will be a toblerone, but it's not restocked - one and done for the cruise. Not that we will need the extra snacks with the YC restaurant and lounge so close - but I love toblerones 🙂
  4. What's conditioner?? I see bottles of it in my shower at home too - I assume it's for DW. For me, I consider it a score if I can find a 3-in-1 that does everything (whatever that means). Much more efficient. 😉
  5. Seems to be some conflicting information on how many devices per person YC internet access gives us. I've seen reports here on CC that YC includes 2 devices per person (4 devices per double-stateroom). And other's who report only 1. Not sure if it's ship dependent, but we'll be on Meraviglia in March (first time - hence the question). Has anyone actually tested 2 per person and had success?
  6. Yup. Same issue here. Passport have "Given Names" which includes my middle name. Middle name is not on my cruise reservation (nor has it ever been for my other 12-13 cruises with other lines). So - I get the "does not match our records" error. That's when I use the app on my phone. If I check in on the laptop, I can enter the passport information manually - no problem, but I cannot get past the photo stage... for the life of me, I cannot get the "Selfie" to work with my laptop camera - it won't find my face to take the photo. It's a circular situation of pure frustration. I'm just going to show up at the port and check in there. I'm assuming this is possible
  7. I have the same issue. My passport has my full name , but there is no section for "middle name" it just says "surname" and "given names". So, my middle name is there with my first name. But, on the MSC booking, it just has my first name. We've sailed 14 times before, and never had an issue. BUT, I went to do the online checkin for our cruise next month, and it scanned my passport, but gave me an error that the document doesn't match the reservation. Can I just skip the online check in and just show up at the port?
  8. My bid was accepted on another sailing, but in the bid documents, I believe it says MSC will make a decision no later than 48 hours before sailing.
  9. Thanks everyone... Interestingly, I received multiple other emails from MSC saying that the other purchased items (internet, Marine Cay cabana, and specialty dining) have been cancelled and refunds are being processed. MSC did this automatically.
  10. I have another thread where I talked about my experience in getting an upgrade from Deluxe Balcony Cabin with Fantastica through a "counter offer" to our original upgrade offer. Read that thread if it helps you with any questions, but this part I think deserves it's own thread (forgive me if you feel differently) since it's a very specific question. Now that we have been upgraded to Yacht Club Deluxe Suite (cabin 18008 on Meravalia), that should come with all the Yacht Club benefits. But under the Cruise Details section online, under "Experience" it still says "Fantastica Experience Benefits" Anyone else run into this? Perhaps just an IT issue since that was what my booking WAS? I'm guessing it should say "Yacht Club Experience Benefits"? End of the day, obviously the upgrade cost only makes sense if it comes with the Yacht Club perks (Drinks, internet, etc). I'm just wanting to make sure that the upgrades do indeed some with all the Yacht Club extras Thanks in advance for any answers.
  11. I just checked my booking, and we were actually assigned a cabin: 18008. I'll do some reseach. But, this part puzzles me: The reservation says we have the Yacht Club Deluxe Suite (Cabin 18008), but under the "Experience" section, it says "Fantastica Experience Benefits" - should this not say "Yacht Club"??
  12. Update - in case anyone is reading this, or it applies to anyone else. 3 days ago, I clicked on "accept offer" for their counter offer. I guess because it was a few weeks after their original counter - it was not accepted right away. Well, today - 3 days later, the confirmation came in. We now have Yacht Club Deluxe Suite (upgraded from Fantastica Deluxe Balcony). I suppose the crap shoot is now - where will our cabin be. We were corner aft, which we love, so I suspect the view won't be as nice - but at least we get to experience Yacht Club. I understand we won't be assigned out cabin # until later? FYI - because Yacht club gives upgraded experiences... I will be cancelling the cabana I had booked on Ocean Cay I will be cancelling our specialty dining package I will be cancelling our internet package
  13. Ah, ok, that makes some sense. The dates are correct. But, this morning, when I clicked on "Accept offer", it went to another page that confirmed - and I did this. But, it just put me back in the pool it looks like. - but the counter offer is the same price - nothing changed. oh well.
