It will be interesting to learn what the plan is, hopefully there will be an announcement soon.

Looks like Freeport. Someone else just confirmed it.

Completely agree. I love OC because it’s not like the other cruise line’s islands. That’s what people are saying on this other site, that’s why I asked him to post a pic of the email. I then realized he didn’t book on the US site so maybe that’s the difference. Maybe the MSCUSA side of the company hasn’t caught up yet.

This same person posted a screen shot of the email but it’s not in English

Only thing I thought of was maybe they’re finally going to work on the channel to accommodate the new “World” ship?

Had the same experience on Divina in January. On our cruise the passenger’s poor behavior and downright rudeness made the party crowd on Carnival look like rookies. MSC seems to be attracting these folks in droves. I’m reading this daily on other social media sites. It’s been 6 months and my husband still won’t even entertain the thought of giving MSC out of the US another try. (It was our third MSC cruise and the first two were excellent.)

Has anyone received an email from MSC about this?

Sure, I can’t speak to what happened later in the day but for us it was a great experience. Our check in time was between 10:30-11:00 and we were on board before 11:30. It was so much better than last year, much more organized. Haven and Suite pax boarded first.

I’ve cruised NCL since they put fans on the prohibited list but my USB powered fan was allowed.

You would have loved our fried rice at Tappanyaki on Pearl last month! Our chef was awesome and everything was delicious! IMG_7915.mov Here’s a video of him starting the rice and adding a LOT of garlic!

Yesterday I read a thread on here from someone cruising NCL and there were signs that alcohol wouldn’t be served while in Southhampton because of local laws. It sounds like it’s not just Southhampton after reading your review. We don’t buy the drink package as we’re not huge drinkers but we do enjoy getting a drink when we board with our lunch. Will have to scratch NCL for our 2024 European cruise as I’m not seeing this mentioned on other line’s boards. Is this exclusive to NCL and them not wanting to pay a tax? Seems they could just pass the tax on to the consumer instead of just forgoing it altogether. Sorry to hear you were disappointed. We’ve enjoyed the food on our last two Pearl cruises.

I think when someone says “show” we’re talking about the entertainment in the Stardust Theater. On our sailing this year it was a little lacking. Spinnaker on our sailing did game shows and the Glow Party and a lot of Funky Roots band nights. That was only the second sailing so it sounds like they’re adding more variety in the Spinnaker which is good

Any guess as to why the Captain appears to be AWOL? Last year they were still keeping the officers away from the general population because of Covid but at least we heard announcements from him and his name was listed on the program. This year nothing.

Ours too! We were considering driving to NY next year for our Bermuda cruise as we’ve been on Pearl twice but now I’m looking forward to trying Gem from Boston.
