  1. Huh? I was just explaining that someone could use the OBC they were refunded for pre-paid specialty dining to cover part of the cost of the upgrade to Premium onboard. Which is the question I was responding to. I wasn't suggesting that it makes upgrading to Premium a good deal or anything....
  2. Since your onboard account isn't charged to your credit card in real-time, I think this would work. Say you had a reservation for CG and Rudi's. They are ~$35 per person? So you have spent $140 (assuming there are two of you) to pre-book specialty restaurants through the app. Once onboard, you upgrade to Premier from Plus, so you spend $280 to upgrade. That $280 gets billed against your account, but then you get $140 credited back to your account for the two specialty reservations. Your total balance owed on your account at the end of your cruise and billed against your credit card would be $140.
  3. I used both of these on my recent Divina sailing: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0845WDMMT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YVMM483/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  4. This is a great reason to have an enhanced license or a passport card that you just keep in your wallet! Either can be used for closed-circuit cruises from a US port. I always bring my passport on cruises, because I am terrified of getting stranded in a foreign country, but I do always have my passport card with me at least.
  5. I was told on the phone that, if I wanted, I could pay to book my specialty reservations while waiting for my Premier package to show up on my account and then I could have the cost of the pre-paid reservations refunded onboard as OBC.
  6. Was just about to ask a similar question. We booked a GTY mini-suite on the Enchanted Princess for May and I was curious when a cabin is likely to be assigned. I guess I should stop checking my booking multiple times a day!
  7. Galaxy and Butcher's Cut are the only two specialty restaurants on the Divina.
  8. I called and they told me that it can take 24-48 hours for the system to update with my upgrade, so to try back then. Unfortunately, I fear the last few remaining reservations will be booked by then. Has anyone had any luck/experience with booking specialty dining when onboard? The rep on the phone told me that only a certain percentage of reservations are made available to book through the app ahead of the cruise and we should still be able to book onboard?
  9. I hope you have a great time! Make sure to say hello to Reynald at Caffe Italia for us!
  10. I just upgraded our booking from Princess Plus to Princess Premier. I was hoping to go in and make our specialty dining reservations ASAP, since we are only 49 days from sailing and there are few days/times still available. However, when I try to make reservations through the app, it wants to charge my credit card. How do I reserve my two free specialty dinners that I receive through Princess Premier? Do I need to call?
  11. It never even occurred to me to interpret this in any way besides "per member" though it does technically say "per person." Why would MSC give any OBC for non-members on the booking?
  12. I haven't had a thermal spa pass on any of my MSC sailings except for the one when I had Aurea access because I was in a Whirlpool Balcony Suite. In that instance, I never felt the need to go to the spa, because I had my own hot tub on my balcony. I did do a tour though and the spa was small and I anticipated it would be crowded with all Aurea and YC guests having access in addition to selling passes. To me, the videos of the Enclave on Enchanted looked similar to what was offered on the Meraviglia, so I am glad to hear you like the Enclave better.
  13. I have never had any issues just using the Browse internet to access websites, images, post my live blogs (including a million photos), remote desktop into my work PC, etc. Video streaming services are blocked though. Definitely DO NOT need a sport coat or tie on MSC! As long as you don't wear shorts and flip flops to the MDR on Elegant Nights, you will be just fine.
  14. Our port stops were Ocho Rios, Aruba, Cartagena, Colon, Roatan, and Cozumel.
