@Charles4515 how does one go about prearranging a taxi? (Hubby will also have an early tee time)

@Charles4515 Since you are so knowledgeable about the cost of transportation in Bermuda, I was hoping you might know what the appoximate taxt fare is to the Port Royale golf club?

I saw this in my app for an upcoming sailing but I cant click on it, anyone else having that issue too? (It lets me click on all of the other beverage packages to add)

So just to make sure I understand, If you bring bottle of wine on board and drink it in your room/balcony there is no fee, the fee is only charged if you bring bottle to dining room. Is this correct?

This will be my last post to this subject and I am only answering because I feel as though am being challenged. Here was my itinerary, and I believe that 15:00 is 3pm

@JAGR like I said before I respectfully disagree with you, but you are entitled to your opinion. I sailed on the same ship and departure time was 3pm as well. See part of the email I received prior to my sailing on 7/2. I am only going by the info that I received from MSC. at

I get where you are coming from, however when I was on the Meraviglia my assigned boarding was 2:30 even though I boarded earlier bc I was in YC. I guess I will have to respectively disagree, but I wouldn't want the OP to miss the ship so im glad he is looking for another flight to eliminate any issues. Maybe this would be better if it were moved to the east coast departures board.

Does your flight arrive in LGA at 11am? If so then you should have no problem getting to the pier onetime. It has been reported that boarding time assigned by MSC isnt really followed. LGA is a short distance to the pier so even with traffic you should be there well before 3pm

I was actually answering a question, not commenting on the amount. I personally do not think that it is that expensive and have paid to park there twice. Now if You want expensive, look at parking at JFK for a week without prebooking. Drive up rate is $70-80 per day! Thats expensive.

Parking for the Meraviglia at the Red Hook Cruise Terminal in Brooklyn is $45 per day.

@morpheusofthesea thank you for "taking us along" with you on your vacation. I really enjoyed your posts.

@Two Wheels Only @morpheusofthesea thank you for your quick replies.

@morpheusofthesea from you above post #161 " but one can pay a nominal fee and reserve a pergola/cabana in the YC sun deck (on some ships and on some RS/OS have reserved pergolas)." How does one go about doing this, the cost and do you know if they are available on the Meraviglia for regular YC balcony cabins? thank you, you are a wealth of knowledge 😀

Thank you for your very well written and enjoyable recap of your daily happenings on your vacation. It is fun following along with you. Captain Tuvo (AKA Captain ByeBye) was a Princess Cruises favorite and very personable and visible throughout the passenger desks. Can I ask you to please describe how and where you scan your card at the elevator banks to make them go express to your YC floor. Thanks

Thank you for doing a live review. I will be sailing in a few weeks in YC so Im looking forward to hearing all about your vacation. BTW the bridge you went under is the Verrazano Bridge and it is a really cool sight to be on deck while you pass under it!

@Crown Vic was the traffic still ok when you left on the ferry? Trying to figure out what time to try to get to the pier for 10am boarding time and avoid traffic on the way to Brooklyn from Long Island. Thanks

Slightly off the OP's topic but another YC question, Are the crepes and ice cream and the coffee at Jean-Philippe included with YC or is it a separate charge? Trying to figure out where to get my early morning coffee. (I am booked in the YC on the Meraviglia) Thank you.

@Joiseymom thank you for posting all the menus. I was curious if the charges posted on the room service menu applied to the YC as well?

Are the coffee's at the bars you mentioned included for YC or do you need to pay per coffee?

@Essiesmom We will be on the Meraviglia @hamrag That was what I was hoping someone would say! Thank you both for your responses 😃

@Essiesmom Would they allow me to permanently switch the second passengers from each cabin and therefore eliminating the need for second key or bracelet ? I just booked this way in oder to get the discount upfront as we were in final payment period and didn't want obc for my adult children when they applied for status match which we already have.

I have done this on other cruise lines in the past ,but does anyone know if it is possible to switch cabin mates once on board MSC? Currently booked in 2 YC cabins and would like to swap second passenger with another family member in the cabin next door.

Hi, I was wondering if you can tell me if you need to wear the yacht club wrist band to get into your room or do they also give you a key card? And also if if know if you can get an extra key card for your childrens room next door? Thank you

@mdgary Thank you!

@mdgaryIf you get a chance can you please post a picture (even if you cant post until after your cruise is over) of the disembarkation groups/times. I would be greatly appreciated. Hope you are still having a great time. Thank you.
