Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I’m posting this for a friend who is trying to status match before his first MSC cruise. Can anyone tell me whether Marriott Bonvoy Platinum Elite or Hilton Honors Gold will match higher status on Voyagers Club? The last status match table I saw seemed to indicate that Hilton was better. Just wanted to make sure so my friend can get the best possible experience. Thanks in advance!
  2. Just to clarify, the numbers I mentioned were not though the online bidding website. These offers were given by the concierge after we boarded. Our cruise also appeared nearly sold out online with only two YC1 showing available when we booked our cruise two months ago. However after we boarded we found out that there were only 160 passengers in Yacht Club with 14+ cabins unoccupied.
  3. Although I saw it mentioned in NCL’s press releases leading up to the launch of Prima I haven’t really seen or heard about it from actual passengers. Surprisingly I don’t see any results when I search for videos of it on YouTube where I can find practically everything else Prima related. Are they still running this game show onboard? If so how do they do it? I would assume that they don’t install an entire grocery store on stage for the game show. Thanks in advance for any info regarding the above. We were booked on one of Prima’s first sailings to Iceland last year but switched to Star when they dropped the Ireland stops from Prima’s itinerary.
  4. Under $300 total for the 4 night cabin upgrade on Seaside. Under $500 total for the 7 night cabin upgrade on Seashore.
  5. We were just onboard Seaside YC this week. We had booked YC Interior YIN and talked to the Concierge on embarkation day and were offered an upgrade to YC Deluxe Balcony Suite YC1 which we accepted. We did the same on Seashore in the past as well.
  6. We were told by the Future Cruise representative onboard Ssaside this week that MSC will also be using that time to dredge out the channel to the island in preparation for the arrival of the MSC World America.
  7. Following. Looking forward to hearing about you day to day experiences onboard Seaside now. It’s been a few years since we were last onboard Seaside and we are anxiously anticipating our cruise. We’d love to hear what you think of the cruise director and what the theme nights are onboard right now as we start packing for our cruise! Thanks in advance!
  8. Thats quite interesting. When we last saw him in February of 2022 onboard Seashore we sat down with him in the Brooklyn Cafe and he told us he was retiring from his Cruise Director role in order to take a shoreside position with MSC. He told us that it was his last cruise and he appeared to be very excited to start the next chapter in his career. We told him how much we appreciated his enthusiasm and multifaceted talents over the years as Cruise Director and wished him luck with his new adventure. Of course it appears that he wasn’t able to stay away from the Cruise Director role for long as i think he helped inaugurate World Europa and Seascape. Pam and I are both shocked and saddened to hear of his sudden passing.
  9. OMG, what terrible news. Gene was our favorite Cruise Director on any cruise line and the best on MSC by far. He was so talented and so personable and had a way of making everyone feel welcome onboard. What a tragedy to lose such a wonderful man who was right in the prime of his life. Deepest condolences to his fiancee and family. He will be missed by all. Here is a photo of the last time we saw him on Seashore in February of 2022.
  10. If you booked your cruise with the “Free at Sea” offer I would recommend that you make reservations for your two free Specialty Dining restaurants as soon as they are available 120 days prior to your cruise. These reservations fill up very quickly especially on a larger ship. Also try to book your excursions early as the popular ones may sell out.
  11. Thanks for the info! That’s precisely what we were thinking as far as ordering multiple apps and desserts at Cageys and LeBistro. So we will use our Latitudes vouchers at Moderno and Teppanyaki and use our SDP at Cagney’s and LeBistro
  12. We will be cruising for the first time since the new more flexible Latitudes Dinner vouchers were introduced. Reading through the various threads discussing the changes to the vouchers which allow them to be used at more specialty venues I wasn't able to see whether the Latitudes "Dinner + Wine" voucher was able to be used at Moderno. I know about Cagney's and LeBistro, but does Moderno also have a "Complimentary Wine List" as well? We will have the 2 dinner SDP plus the 2 Latitudes Platinum vouchers to use on our upcoming cruise on Epic.
