Hello, The biggest I have ever sat at was 12 on Independence. Regards, Cublet

Hello, Whilst insurance is required, I have not experienced being asked to show it at check-in since Covid. Regards, Cublet

Hello, For Crown Vic and any other Brits of a certain age, Berni Inns comes to mind as a reasonable comparison. Regards, Cublet

Hello, You need the tag holders for the Carnival owned brands. Regards, Cublet

Hello, Fresh (within 4 hours) from Euribia and they did have a made to order omelette and poached egg station every day at breakfast in the buffet. It was at the stern across the beam of the ship - and I think few people made it that far apart from staff/crew (and me). Not 'Eggs Benedict' though. Regards, Cublet

Hello, This is the best general review of MSC (after my own of course and that of JamieLogical). My own views are posted elsewhere if anyone is prepared to look. I don't know how many MSC cruises I've done but I have a further six booked including one departing today.so this note is only brief. MSC is, to my mind, on a par with Royal, Celebrity and Cunard. If I had to change just one thing about MSC it would be to replace the cafeteria type serving lines in the buffet with 'island' type sections as on Royal. And that's it. Regards, Cublet

Hello, All my Anthem ex UK sailings last year had the Suite/Concierge buffet/drinks time as 17:00 - 20:00. Regards, Cublet

Hello, Introduce a Single Supplement on X of 50% similar to on Royal and I'll be there. Regards, Cublet

Hello, Agreed. My Pin's 6 drinks and 525 points 3 bottles of wine is quite enough to see me though a week (just). But what would annoy me, without the above, would be the offer to 'Buy one, get one 50% off" - as a solo traveller even with 50% off, a second drinks package is of no use to me so is (would be) a disincentive to me to book. Much better value is buying a drinks package at the time of booking that includes water and gratuities from MSC and comes in at about £30 per night for me. And I will be giving it a good thrashing starting this Friday! Regards, Cublet PS: And, needless to say, when I order Prosecco I get Prosecco and not something dug out from the back of the cleaning cupboard.

Hello, Yes, but and/or Pins and Suite cards were sometimes a different colour so keeping them on show told the waiter which camp you were in. Regards, Cublet

Hello, The former Berlitz Guide to Cruising and Cruise Ships, now Insight Guide, inspects cruise ships and analyses them into four categories depending on number of berths. The 2024 edition inspected 326 ships whilst a further 17 were not rated because of their recent launch dates. Out of a possible 2000 points, Europa 2 came top with 1792 points and National Geographic Sea Lion came bottom with 772 points. Of the total 326 ships, MSC Euribia was in 52nd place with 1490 points whilst the highest Celebrity ship, Beyond, was is 75th place with 1445 points and the highest RCI ship was Anthem of the Seas in 92nd place with 1419 points. Aside from Cunard, the ships ahead of MSC Euribia came from Mid-size, Small and Boutique categories. Of the top 20 Large Resort Ships category, 12 of those 20 places were filled by MSC ships, beaten by QM2 and Mein Schiff. The criteria being marked were: The Ship; Accommodation; Cuisine; Service; Entertainment; The Cruise Experience. Price, of itself, was not a criterion. I don't think MSC's achievements were gained by being 'cheap'. Regards, Cublet

Hello, Whilst I do not go on cruises to lose weight, the only cruise (out of 50+) on which I *DID* lose weight was on Celebrity Eclipse whilst in AquaClass and dining in Blu. Regards, Cublet

Hello, But it's a good deal if you want to use the Coke as a tarnished metal cleaner (the only thing it's fit for). Regards, Cublet

Hello, The booking number on the 'strange' upgrade email is unknown to the MSC booking system according to my TA. Regards, Cublet
