Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. It’s more complicated.. the cruise industry faces challenges introducing LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) powered cruise ships: MSC World Europa (2022) MSC Euribia (2023) MSC World Class Unnamed (2024,2025,2027) Most LNG ports in the U.S. are on the East Coast and in the Gulf of Mexico. Additional ports are proposed and in planning. Just a few ports are capable of LNG bunkering by barques. Cruise companies have to balance the wish-list of ports from passengers and ports suitable for certain types of cruise ships (LNG powered).
  2. .. from Mayo Clinic website .. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/norovirus/symptoms-causes/syc-20355296 “ Norovirus infection can cause severe vomiting and diarrhea that start suddenly. Noroviruses are highly contagious. They commonly spread through food or water that is contaminated during preparation or through contaminated surfaces. “
  3. Showing the booking option for a Yacht Club Cabana to a passenger with non-YC reservation is still confusing/misleading but rather a software problem. The offer could be legit if MSC wants to promote the Yacht Club and offers YC add-ons to non-YC passengers to get a feeling of the atmosphere and service in YC. How should the passenger know ?
  4. What kind of passport agency are you using ? Local post office, library ? The U.S. Department of State has passport centers in Washington and Atlanta, GA, closest to where you live in NC. On the website of the U.S. Department of State you’ll find information how to make an appointment. Link: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/get-fast/passport-agencies.html You can call to explain the situation and find out your options.
  5. The underlaying issue is that some people simply don’t care about anything and anyone. Social etiquette is enforced by group pressure, not by cruise lines or airlines. Some responses to this threat show that people tolerate this kind of behavior such as barefeet in the buffet restaurant or barefeet on chairs and sofas. Such behaviors shows disrespect for other guests and selfish attitude. The question is who sets the parameters what’s tolerated and what’s not ? No shoes at the buffet is o.k. ? How about no shirt .. or no pants ? Etiquette has served as a code of social behavior for centuries. Unfortunately public etiquette has declined over the last 10 years.
  6. LEFT column is YES RIGHT column is NO (.. if I remember correct ..) Mark the corresponding circle with an X
  7. Were the $250 the initial deposit/hold for the entire cruise ? How was the Daily Service Charge DSC billed ? MSC usually charges DSC to the board account against the $250 deposit.
  8. We found a rubber duck while cruising the Caribbean on MSC Seascape in July 2022. We took a photo and posted it on the FB page of the family (QR code on back of card attached to rubber duck). Finally placed the rubber duck in public area.. next to a decoration (vase) in the area of speciality restaurants. We placed the rubber duck on a low shelf.. easy for children to find.
  9. I (we) never rented a cabana on Ocean Cay. We usually pick sun loungers and umbrella at the far end to have some privacy. Beverages and towels are provided by butlers and we have lunch in Ocean House restaurant (included in YC). We don’t stay on Ocean House Beach the whole day, just for 2-3 hours.. the $400 are not worth for such a short stay in my opinion. $400 can buy sports activities on Ocean Cay and/or full-day excursions in other ports.
  10. .. just for my understanding .. Are you promoting “Bring your family to work” vacations in Yacht Club for families of crew members ? If this would be case .. I would never book another cruise in Yacht Club. Some passengers need to work very hard and/or save money to afford sailing in Yacht Club. I am spending this kind of $$$$ not easily and expect the exclusivity promised by MSC.

    MSC 2023?

    There is no cruise ship of MSC named Fantasy. MSC Fantasia was completed Dec 9th 2008 and christened on Dec 18th 2008 in Naples .. 1 year after your sailing in 2007 ..
  12. .. don’t get me wrong .. I am just curious .. How did you got proof that a person or a group of individuals are not YC passengers ? Not every YC guest is wearing the wristband. Who provided the ‘official’ number of 44 friends and family ?
  13. The view is partial obstructed.. You can see the sky and horizon.
  14. The partial obstruction is a lifeboat.. the window is barely above the lifeboat..
