Same as was mentioned in the Harmony thread on the same subject - likely BW balcony. If the suspense is that much, perhaps skip the GTY option next time as assignments seem to be coming later and later.

thank you your helpful i think i will be boardwalk then hope so have a great day

I also have a neighborhood balcony gty.  I only know I’m on deck 12 and muster station is D03.  I think it’s fun checking each day for my cabin #.  I will probably get more anxious as the cruise gets closer.

 

i wonder how you found out your deck is 12. someone told me the longer you wait the better so i will be patient.

Oh please NO!!!

I hope they change the show on Oasis ship. I saw cats and loved it. But i want to go on Oasis again. It was my favorite ship. But i want to see a new Broadway show so i will wait until they change this show. And it is an important part of my cruise experience.

I think this entire thread is based around the fact that this may or may not be true......... depends on which way the wind is blowing on the number of punches per drink.

i did write to corporate about this and they did say its one punch per coffee drink. but a large to go i guess that something that includes some extra prep. is extra or a extra shot if you order an extra shot is considered 2 punches. they said in most cases frappachino is included in the one punch. so really thats my only concern. just don't sk for a large to go whatever that means lol. i will try to make a copy and send it you but i am over 60 and computer illiterate.

F2 is in the dining room.  We’ve had the DR as a muster station in BW balconies but never when we’ve been in a CP balcony. 

thank you

We sailed on Miracle last April and are booked again this April. I really liked the ship itself. It is still a good size but never feels too crowded, with the exception of the Lido buffet at lunch on Sea Days as usual. Getting on and off the ship was super fast in the ports. Food was fine. I did miss the Dive In movies. They played movies one night in the comedy club (3 movies in a row) but they interfered with dinner times so we only watched one. 

We love movies so if they have them in theater when the shows are not playing we will be happy.

We finally decided to purchase the coffee card on our recent cruise and felt it was a good deal since DW only gets one shot of espresso per drink. There was mention of size limits. However, this time around I noticed when I bought the card for next year's cruise to the Baltic, there's a $5.00 "service fee" added to the card; didn't notice this before. To me, that's just more ridiculous nickel and diming of customers.

 

On a side note, one day I got a bit adventurous....took DW's empty plastic cup, went and got a cup of regular coffee, put ice in it, then got a vanilla cone....stirred it up....BAM! That was my FREE coffee drink....and it was awesome....

Your so funny. They usually charge a fee that includes tips. 31.00 for card and then after graits it comes to 37. something.Still a great deal and you would pay graits anyway. 

The suspence is killing me. Trying to figure out where rccl has put us. Our muster station is F02. Did set sail but have no idea where we are located. We have  guaranty neighborhood balcony. So excited about this. I am hoping for boardwalk maybe so i can see aqua show from my balcony. I have been checking evryday to see if i am assigned to a neighborhood boardwalk or central park .Has anyone been assigned to a muster station F02 and where is your cabin located. lol trying to sneak a peak at the location of our assignment. Allure of the Seas

With just one punch on the card?

Yes

seranade was great they let you you get any speciality coffee as advertised and the manager or the head barista was so nice he couldn't do enough for you. and some people were crabby to him. i just shook my head i wanted to say something but i felt like it would ruin my mood. i always got frappi with whipped topping and chocolate drizzle they were awesome.

thank you i am sure it will be a fun cruise

Hello!

 

Iced water, in a glass, is totally free and unlimited. We all had it every night. However, if you want to buy bottled water like Acqua Panna or any sort of sparkling or bubbling water, you will have to pay for that. That is a big misconception when it comes to MSC, but rest assured tap water in an glass is free and unlimited.

 

As for the wine, I couldn't tell you directly. We did not do this, nor have we ever enquired about this. Maybe others will be able to chime in, but for me specifically, I won't be of much help. Sorry!

 

Let me know if you think of any more questions.

Thank you i know that sounds crazy but we don't buy bottled water at home. Only when i was sick and had to drink water everywhere i went. i know all water is filtered and that fine for me more money for wine. lol thank you so much for your reply. someone on here said they don't have any tap water that is served in dining room and you have to buy bottled water. Thats just wrong lol. thanks again

Thats exciting to me. I am also F02 and was thinking the same thing . I hope its boardwalk balcony. we have a guaranty neighborhood balcony so i know that both are nice but i was hoping for boardwalk. If its showing the aquatheater that would be FANTASTIC. But i will be happy . Its so funny that everyone else caught the muster station numbers in their set sail pass hope they schedule the staterooms soon. In fact i came to p[ost this on cruise critic just to find out if anyone knew where we would be. This is our first time on the alurew it looks amazing. The Oasis of The Seas was amazing.

are their machines with tea and water in buffet

Also question can anyone tell me if their are any beverages complimentary at dining in MDR? like water or iced tea or anything. Or is a beverage an extra fee. I am not talking about soda which i expect to be extra but basic iced tea or water should be complimentary . i know it is on rccl but is it on the Armonia msc cruises. some say they expect it to be but no one has been able to give me a definate answer. thank you

Hello all,

 

I just returned home from a great week onboard the MSC Armonia, and yes, I was on a rerouted cruise originally intended for Havana. But, I started this thread to answer questions anyone has about the ship, MSC in general, the ports (I went to Roatan, Costa Maya, Cozumel and Key West), and whatever else may be on your minds. Ask away, and Happy cruising! 😄

Thank you, I was wondering what drinks are complimentary in the dining room. i heard that they charge for water at the table? I just want to know exactly what to expect . I booked this ship for next year. Can you buy wine on board and take it to your stateroom? And can you bring a bottle of wine to consume in your stateroom with you like you can on rccl?

And I don't mind you paying extra so my vacation is cheaper. So we are in agreement.

And if you think that AI or the Internet are going to change the fundamental principles of marketing, good luck to you.

Lol ditto

Sad to see this.  I recently booked with a TA because of the perks.  It doesn't mean I won't book MSC again...but the more perks I get, the more my casino budget goes up.

lol Me too. I was disappointed i just booked with my travel agent and she told me the sme thing. too bad. This will be my first cruise with MSC so we will see how it goes . I have no idea what to expect.

The gratuities are $12.50 pppd and half that for children and, no, it's not all Opera on the ship.

thank you that sounds reasonable.

thank you i like all the cruise lines that we have traveled so far and that includes carnival. rccl, holland america,ncl and a coup[e of older cruise lines. I was reading things about a lot  of opera and i am not putting it down i love music. However just don't like opera. They all seem to have something to offer that make us keep booking.The hill billies can be found on all the cruise lines lol. 

I also am going to try this cruise line. I have heard mixed opinions about it. I am just wondering what the daily tips are ? If anyone knows what the daily graits are i would appreciate it if they would post this. i am booked for next year. I saw that it seemed vague. Like i read something like 6 euro to 12 euro. so which is it lol. i like to know what i am paying ahead of time. I hope the entertainment is not consisting of opera as i hate that. but i am sure it will be a nice time we always have fun on our vacations.

Thinking about booking this ship. this will be a extra get away for us. I see a drink package included if i book a upgraded cabin. is it worth it for 100. more? I learned it only includes 6.00 drinks. Are their house wines 6.00 or under and are there shots of liquor or gin and tonic house brands under 6.00. I am trying to see if this is a good deal for me. Also are their speciality coffees under 6. I know i can add monies to it but i want the free deal. That's how i understand a drink package. I usually book Royal and am always happy with them. I am also diamond with Royal. But i wanted to check this ship out the price is right for an extra vacation. I am going on the Allure in oct. which we are both excited about. So if someone has a menu of drinks on the Armonia for 2019 updated i would greatly appreciate it so i can do the math. thank you
