  1. No, Fantasia class ships and older do not have USB ports, you need to take your phone charger.
  2. Being that you can upgrade from easy plus to premium dinks by just paying the difference, you should be able to do the same for the internet package. You’ll have to call to do it.
  3. Yes, there are lots of tributes on his Facebook page. It’s very sad and he’ll be missed by many.
  4. Check out Emma Cruises on YouTube, her videos should be a good source of ideas for you.
  5. I agree, I don’t want to pay for gimmicks I won’t use with an inflated cruise price. Much better to be able to choose with a pay and play format.
  6. All in is usually always available, the drinks package isn’t free, but discounted by approximately 30%. You can see exactly by subtracting the escape to sea price from the all in price. The wifi is free.
  7. To upgrade a drinks package you just pay the price difference between them. You should be able to do it by just calling, you may have to try a few different customer service reps until you find one that knows how to process it.
  8. Are duty free sales allowed in the Arabian gulf?
  9. Are the breakfast tea and elevenses covered by packages? Or are they the same as afternoon tea? And is it real clotted cream?
  10. Pretty sure the promo drinks package is Easy Plus, if you want to upgrade you just pay the price difference between the 2 packages.
  11. We’re embarking from Genoa, as Milan seems to be the easiest city to get to from Toronto, second choice would be Nice. We looked at Barcelona and Naples, but couldn’t get flights that worked both ways. It will come down to flights, best value and easiest connections. Also easiest transfers, Milan has great train links to Genoa, and the railroad station is steps from the cruise terminal.
  12. Do you have any information about the film crew, what show is being filmed?
  13. That’s the one I was thinking of, 120v up high with a weather proof cover.
  14. Regarding the €3 price for tonic, is that if you just want tonic? Or do you have to add it to the price of the gin for a G&T?
  15. I noticed on other ships, there was a NA 120v GFCI socket near the ceiling in the bathroom.
  16. It’s something to do with the old GPO phone box.
  17. It’s hidden, I believe you have to solve a riddle to win an invitation.
  18. Woo Hoo “Little Britain “ is on Europa. Looking forward to hearing everything about this new ship. Currently top of my list of questions is which bars are excluded from Easy Plus and Premium drinks? Jean Phillips definitely is, no Venchi, is the coffee lounge Lavazza? What about Raj Polo tea room? Also the juice, gin and champagne bars? Any others excluded?
  19. Any information on the tea, coffee and juice lounges, and champagne and gin bars?
  20. Quoted directly off the MSC website, the trouble is there’s only a Jean Philippe listed for Europa, although the coffee lounge has a lavazza signature bean it’s not listed as a lavazza coffee shop, and No Venchi.
  21. Drinks packages can’t be used in signature venues, does anyone know what the signature venues are on World Europa?
  22. The answer is posted on the US passport service FAQs page. https://www.us-passport-service-guide.com/passports-for-closed-loop-cruise.html Assuming your 3 day cruise is to the Bahamas, and if you go to the Bahamas government website, it will tell you all tourists must be in possession of a valid passport. So technically your answer is “no”. However as everyone knows the only destination that applies passport controls to cruise passengers is Martinique. The only document you’ll have to show in the Bahamas is your cruise card. So in reality there’s nothing to stop you cruising with just a BC and ID.
  23. They say you must, because the Bahamas say you must. However unless the Bahamas start doing actual passport controls it makes no difference. There’s nothing to stop you travelling with just ID and a birth certificate. You’ll only need them to return to Miami, all you’ll have to show in the Bahamas is your cruise card.

    Genoa?

    A lot will depend on whether we go to Scotland (from Toronto) before the cruise, or Paris after the cruise. But we are tending towards Milan rather than Nice. Is Bergamo as convenient as Malpensa? Regarding getting to the main train station for trains to Genoa?
  25. It’s easier to take a basic power bar, rather than a big heavy voltage converter. A power bar without overload or surge protection. No switches or buttons.
