sidari Posted June 23, 2015 #29 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Looks like Port Miami is set to be even busier in 2020 when Virgin will base their first 110,000 ton boutique ship there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Beamafar Posted June 24, 2015 #33 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I'm not sure how to contact the Host of this board Bea!!! If someone knows how to contact him/her that would be great. I've seen stickies for new builds on the other boards so I think it would be easier to keep track of all the news!!:D Ask and you shall receive................... the threads are stickies, now!

Mikesa1721 Posted June 24, 2015 Author #37 Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) In an industry first, MSC Seaside will add to the thrills of traditional waterpark fun by offering guests the chance to participate in “Slideboarding™” – a unique waterslide and interactive video game all-in-one. Guests race down a two-story, 367 foot slide on a sleekly designed raft that includes an embedded game controller with colored buttons. The end goal – match the color of the flashing strobe lights seen on various sections of the slide with the colored buttons on the raft. The slide uses a smart gaming system that knows who riders are and tracks their progress and scores over the run down the waterslide. Duelling High-Speed AquaTubes™ In a high energy competitive setting, guests race against other guests through a combined 525 feet of twists, turns and drops, on slides that partially extend over the side of the ship and give riders a look a quick look at the sea below. AquaPlay™& AquaSpray™ To cater to its youngest guests, a portion of MSC Seaside’s aqua park will be designed specifically for tots, featuring an active and colorful water play structure that is an experience all on its own. The AquaPlay™ area will be complete with tipping buckets, various spray cannons, solid stream jets, a raintree and a mini-slide. In addition, various interactive AquaSpray™ activities, such as jets, falls, forts and more will be found throughout the water park for all ages to enjoy. Adventure Trail Directly connected to the aqua park is the Adventure Trail, a ropes course which allows guests to cross-cross between soaring towers, rope bridges, climbs, crawl-throughs and slides as they enjoy an amazing bird’s eye view of the water. Explorers on the trail will need to move quickly though as guests below will be able to use water spray cannons to soak their friends and family.

Rare Beamafar Posted June 24, 2015 #38 Share Posted June 24, 2015 MSC are seriously pushing the boat out in an effort to grow their US market! It looks like they're targeting RCs demos. With all these fantastic innovations, do you know the one thing I'd like to see introduced, Mike? (Well, perhaps one of many :rolleyes:). The menus for the various restaurants available on the cabin TV each morning so you can plan where you might eat that day without having to go to the dining room to find out what's on! Especially if you've dressed for dinner and discover that there's nothing you fancy and have to head to the buffet :( With all the bells and whistles being to the forefront of new builds, the small stuff gets overlooked!

That is a fantastic idea Bea!!! Love it!!! I'm wondering if they might also make that information available on your smart phone via the "MSC APP" once you board the ship.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikesa1721 Posted June 24, 2015 Author #41 Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) I really don't see why it can't be done, Mike. It's very easy to do Bea, if it can be done with shore excursions, the cruise director show,,etc. a dedicated channel to events during the day and dining room menus should not be that difficult to create. We just need to find the right people to talk to about it!!!:) However,,maybe they want you to walk to the restaurants so you have to pass by all of the shops on the way!!! Conspiracy theory!!

Rare Beamafar Posted June 24, 2015 #42 Share Posted June 24, 2015 We just need to find the right people to talk to about it!!!:) There was a crew member at a table on one of my recent cruises taking suggestions from passengers. I approached her re the laundry package. I explained to her that 20 items could be sent for laundering for €25 but the package would not allow for ironing-only even though laundered items come back ironed! I explained that I ended up having clean items washed by the crew just so they'd be ironed. I suggested that MSC should have a package for ironing. She thought it was a great idea and duly took out this very small notebook covered with written notes from other contributors to add my tuppence-worth! I thought at the time "Well, that has a snowball's chance in hell of being considered!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The little things you are suggesting really cost MSC next to nothing to implement on the new builds at least. MSC had sent me a survey regarding the bedding, mattress and pillows a few weeks ago. It was a lengthy survey which had me rate all aspects of our sleep quality during an MSC cruise. I killed them on their pillows, but it's good to know they're reaching out to past guests to offer their input since the pillows are always in contention amongst guests who sail MSC.

riclop Posted June 25, 2015 #49 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Great work Mike your info is fantastic as usual. I marked that Nov date on my calendar to book at least a couple of cruises, we are very excited Thanks for all your work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikesa1721 Posted June 25, 2015 Author #50 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Modes,,Riclop,,,I'm not sure if the November 19th date is for open booking or not. MSC Meraviglia began pre-booking for MSC Club Members on June 22nd and will run through July 5th and then open booking will be available. I'm hoping the same will be available for MSC Seaside!!:D I'm working my sources so you'll be the first to know!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
