Hi
my name is Grant
i am a solo traveller going on an 11 night Caribbean cruise on the MSC Divina starting April 10th (lost my husband a year ago, and this is my first major step forward). This is only my second cruise ever (I won’t mention the first, except to say northern Atlantic Ocean in December was NOT a good idea). 😁
I have some questions
1. Do I need to wear a tie on formal nights, or will a jacket, dress shirt and slacks be ok? I threw out all my ties when I retired. 😁
2. I have horrible sleeping habits, and generally want my first coffee about 5am. Is there anything available at that time? I read somewhere that one of the buffet restaurants has coffee available 24 hours, but can’t confirm anywhere.
3. I understand that no jeans are allowed in the dining room and I am fine with that, but their rules say no shorts etc in the evening. If I change into shorts after dinner, is that ok?
4. Where is the smoking area on the ship? I know, it’s a disgusting habit, but other than wine, it’s my only bad habit.
5. Does anyone know which pier it leaves from? I have been told both E and F by MSC.
That’s about it for now. I am SOOO looking forward to the warmth. I live in Ontario Canada, and this has been a brutal winter where I live.
Thanks
Grant
