MSC is horrible in so many ways. They don’t care is your trip was bad. They food is terrible, nothing like listening to 100 different languages to start a show. I can go on and on. There is no comparison, Royal is 1,000 times better.
Just returned from wonder. Have been on 2 cruises on her both times never checked boarding times. Once inside they seat you in your times but never checked. Super quick. On board both times at 10:25. You do not need to print pass just have it on phone in wallet. Ordering drinks you need nothing before cabins are ready. Just tell them cabin number. Rooms are ready at 1:30 even though signs say 2. We walked off with luggage at 8:30 and in our car in 15 min. Boarding took 15-20 total as well. Super easy. You do not have to wait till your time. I promise.
Let me start off by saying we just got off wonder, the best bed we have ever had on any royal ship. We always take a topper with us since they stopped using on ships. It was not sanitary. We have cruised all oasis class multiple times and wonder was the best sleep we have had. We did take our topper and I think we would have been ok without. We were in a regular ocean balcony room not a suite. We have left our toppers onboard but this time had no problem folding it up and putting in out big duffel bag.
I agree. I just got off wonder and the room attendants do not come into your room on day 1. So we had our guy 6 times total for maybe 5 min every evening. I gave him $30 extra which is $5 a night plus what I already tipped. I really don’t think I would do again.
Still need reservations for shows even if you have key. Don’t worry once you get on board all shows were open last week on wonder. You definitely do not need the key on oasis class ships. We boarded at 10:20 May 7th on wonder and 10:40 on Harmony in march. We cruise about 4 times plus a year. The key is not needed at all. Never checked times at check in and was super quick for everyone.
I was on the sailing as well. We had UDP which was amazing. We never stepped foot in main dining room. Voices was amazing. My least favorite was ice show and intense aqua show. We have been on all oasis class multiple times and these two shows didn’t compare to the other ships. We saw the last voices show with the old cast and omg it was amazing, tap was good too. Effectors was ok. Not my thing. Great ship and great fun.
Port canaveral does not check times. This is a generic email they send every week. Show up when you want. I have cruise out of canaveral on three cruises this year alone
