Have they started including taxes and fees like some of the other lines. It's the law in California, and to keep things the same everywhere, they are now including the extra fees.

To me, being Elite on X and Diamond on Royal, the best thing Royal does is their loyalty program, especially once you reach Diamond. I don't know of any cruise line that can match their perks.

You shouldn't be disappointed in the YC. We've been there twice, and have another booked. We found service to be excellent on both occasions.

The YC on the Divina was our first MSC cruise and we loved it. We've since been on two other MSC cruises and have another booked on the Seascape out of Galveston in 2026 in the YC. Can't wait.

I would upgrade to the easy plus and get my choice of beers, and most other drinks.

We've been on the Seashore and loved the pool in the spa. For me, that alone was worth it. The deck also has a hot tub.

If you're going Yacht Club, I don't think you'll have any problems. It's really better, in my opinion than the Haven and almost half price. Much more standard benefits.

Thank you for your responses. I won't use the slot room, but will appreciate the two outdoor places, especially deck 8.

Thank you. I'm surprised about the indoor spot. I thought MSC eliminated the smoking room.

Can someone please tell me where the smoking areas are on the Seascape. Thank you

Costa Maya has developed into a shanty town, just like Nassau. I don't even get off anymore.

They've upgraded the Divina so it does accept the app.

Every family oriented cruise line has the same problems when schools are out.

We've been on 3 MSC cruise (U.S.) with a 4th one booked. Never had inedible food. Every line has food you might not like, MSC included, but we've never starved. We also never ran into rude crew members. Some were standoffish, but most were very friendly. The only problem i found with MSC is their land based customer service, which to put it mildly, stinks. If you call about any change, i guaranty your booking will get messed up.

Manhattan is for Aurea

MSC has the worst customer service in the industry. They just don't care.

Food on MSC is hit and miss. Customer se3rvice ha always been a sore spot to me. We had on issue with cabin attendant on the Seashore. She really didn't give a damn, and neither did customer service. The only way to sail MSC is the Yacht club, where the food is good, and service with a smile is constant.

I won't go and give money to people that don't want me there, so I wouldn't get off the ship if it stopped at Bar Harbor.

They will probably reroute the cruise, then give the options.

Evidently it's not Royal's fault. There is a wide spread outage affecting several large corporations, including Costco and several others. On Celebrity's forum, someone gave the list.

An idiot like this should never do a vacation article. He just doesn't like people around him. His next cruise should be in a row boat.

Ocho Rios is still closed due to the accident there.

The reason we've sailed MSC was for the diversity from other cruise lines.

The restrictions are set by the vendors or the vendor's insurance company.

Msc gives an excellent product as long as you book the YC. We've done it twice and love it. However, if you book any other experience, it leaves a lot to be desired. We did Aurea once, and never again without the YC.
