Should be just after 7am but many things can happen that could delay that.

Since you are looking at YC, I'd say take a chance at MSC.

If you are trying to upgrade through the bidding process, then, yes, you pay double.

The thermal suite on the Mera is wonderful - IMO. So many fun (and weird!) rooms to try! I used it daily for about an hour and had a blast.

Welcome! It is much cheaper to pre-book the packages as it is discounted and it includes the service charge. However you are limited to the "dining experience" menu, NOT the full menu. You can, of course, choose the restaurants a la carte onboard but you will end up paying more. As far as the packages, no one has reported being able to switch around. To note, Hola tacos is owned and operated by an independent company so they don't sub out.

Thank you! Agree on the beet & burrata salad at Butcher's Cut - my favorite!

Oh, that's odd. Apparently there are reports of this happening to others on the sailing. I'm sure everything will work out ok!

@fwdpost Since you are in FL you can get a rapid at CVS or Walgreens with results in an hour. Both of those are valid. Used last month on Divina

Are you on a 3 night/ 4 night/ or 7 night? Makes a big difference.

@ScratchTheRat Did you cabin category change ? Were you upgraded? Give us the ship name and pre/post cabin # and we will help.

@JAGR bwhahaha... guess I was hungry or my autocorrect took over! The only issue that I can find is that when doing the booking on the Italian website it assumes that your country of residence is Italy. After that, however, you can put in a US address as well as US passport info, etc. I'd try to call the US call center but we all know how that would turn out 🤔

Bumping this topic. I did a mock booking of 12 June 2022 on Divina in YC. If I booked on the Italian site it was $4088 (converted to USD) including the mandatory Covid insurance. If I book on the US site it is $5798. That's SIGNFICANT. Has anyone booked this way to take advantage of culinary fluctuations??

That's ok; I got an email congratulating me for achieving Diamond Status which let me know about the $50/50E OBC for every booking... Um, Nope. That changed :0) So happy their emails are keeping up with their Voyagers Club changes....

With the Fantastica Experience you can have coffee sent to your stateroom during breakfast hours for free, too.

She was a ghost ship -- we got conflicting numbers but somewhere around 1100 pax with 130 in YC. Everything was EMPTY. They only did one show a night at 9pm (vs the 5/7/9 they did two weeks ago for spring break). As she is going into Dry Dock soon there are certainly some outages on the ship in terms of supplies. Happy to answer any questions...
