Hi Jamie, what guidelines do MSC suggest for gratuities for your room steward/dining staff/others? Also, I know tipping is personal... but what do all you guys generally follow when tipping *above* the required gratuities as extras?

Serenity!!! 😉

Thank you ma'am! 😉

Hi Jamie, Back to the question for WiFi access... How do they give you the sign-on code? Do they give you a slip of paper with all the codes (one per device purchased) listed? And I assume they will give this to you when you check-in at Brooklyn?

Ahh good point! So we may not have to do this in Miami since it's our first port after leaving NYC... For you, I suppose you may not have to go through this again in NYC on Sunday morning? Saving a few minutes of your time...

This, I did not expect at all... so thank you for the heads-up on this... We were planning to sleep in on our Miami arrival but I guess not... 🤷‍♂️

There are two elevator stacks (Marked in RED)... one in the front and then the other one.... But it's hilarious MSC would call that an "Aft" elevator.... It's definitely more like a "Central" Elevator... with nothing in her back end... 😜 (Thanks for the steps... now I know our cabin will be about 80 steps from the "Central" elevators... 👍😁👍)

Much Respect! 5k/3miles is my max range... 😥

Yep! So the Overflow Parking lot is Full... 😉

3rd time??? how's that possible??? Is it always cheap to book the cruise the week before the marathon??? 😂😂😂 OK... so I feel a bit better about the Marathon traffic based on your note... 😉 But here's a fun fact... the drive from my hotel to the port is 11.5 miles.... less than half a marathon!!! But we ain't gonna be running there... 😜

That's the good part!!! Now it's time to upgrade your Mimosa Blossoms to something stronger!!!

That's good!!! Yeah, we actually have to do this in the morning so I dont foresee any roadblocks per se but hoping it's not backed up too much with race fan traffic...

Looks like you guys are pulling away from Ocean Cay???🤷‍♂️ But yeah... tomorrow... looks like the winds will be howling as much as the wolves did in your Promenade.. so best to take safe harbor in Miami...

What are your plans getting to the Port??? 🤔

I don't need luck... but I will need more tacos and salsa... 😂

oh boy... that sucks...

Hi Jamie, How hard is it to connect to the ship's Wifi for the first time? Also, is it easy to change devices (ie. laptop>phone>laptop) connecting to the wifi? Thanks!

Hahaha!!! Thanks! If you want to post couple of your dailies for a typical Sea Day and a Port Day, I'd be willing to try to make one up for ya... Otherwise, enjoy your upcoming RCL cruise!!! 😉

That's so heartbreaking to hear... I have been on enough cruises to recall that medical emergencies seem to happen on every cruise... but you never worry too much because you dont know any of them... but following along and reading it from you... feels a bit like it's happening to one of our friends... 😥 But if I was Ted... I would want everyone of you guys to continue and try to make the best of it and tell me all about it afterwards... I would feel absolutely worse, if any of you guys were to change plans and cut the cruise short because of me... But then again, I am not Ted so..........

Enjoy the day!!!

WOW! All the food and drinks look amazing!! Did you make any specialty dinner reservations? I know you already tried hola and sushi... And have you figured out when are all of the theme and dress white nights? I know Gala was last night... And can you get the serial number of the machine you won on??? 😁 Watching the webcam and looks like you guys have not pulled into Canaveral yet... I live in Boston now but Cape Canaveral is my childhood home (actually Satellite Beach just to the south) Enjoy the outing if you venture out!!! 😉 PS: Cant believe you guys lost against the Patriots last week... 😜

Yeah... you're probably right... opens at 11PM every night... 😉

Hours do vary but some days:

BON VOYAGE!!!! 🚢🚢🚢🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️😁😁😁
