Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Princess lets you in the room immediately, but they do request that you just drop off your luggage. We normally pop in, drop luggage and go explore.
  2. Sorry for confusion! We have 16027 (my friend, 4 ppl) and 19011 (me, 3 ppl). I'll post pics after we sail.
  3. Forgot to add that the pic @Two Wheels Only posted was what I was expecting from the stateroom to begin with. I have never had a sofa count as "double berth" on a cruise. Live and learn I guess.
  4. Thank you @Two Wheels Only! We are both in Yach Club. Unfortunately at this point it is fully sold out, so no way to change the cabin assignment. I belive both cabins we have booked are in Grand Deluxe category.
  5. Thank you everyone! It is so confusing to me, as i have 19027 which is listed as the same as 16011, but accomodates only 3 people. On my previous cruises 4th person automatically meant the bunk bed, so I guess MSC has a different set up. Will it be possible to get a rollaway bed?
  6. I have never sailed MSC and assumed that cabin that rates for up to 5 people would have a Pullman and a sofa bed, as in all my previous experiences. Does it actually have a Pullman? MSc rep says no.
  7. A bit of a side quest sorry, but how do I go about requesting the extension cord and distilled water for CPAP on MSC?
  8. Hello! This is my first time on MSC, so apologies if this has been answered before. We have a YC cabin, but our friends were not able to get one (sold out) and were not able to get an upgrade either :(. Can we (YC) join our Aurea friends for dinner in the regular dining room? Or our only options to eat together are buffet and specialty restaurants? Also, would we (YC) have access to Aurea area on deck 19?
  9. We have tried Haven 2 bedroom and Princess Penthouse (HUGE difference depending on ship here) and are looking forward to our first MSC cruise. We liked the Haven experience overall, especially the 2 bedroom suite. We disliked the ship (Breakaway), anything outside of Haven area and having to carry the cruise card with you everywhere. On Princess, suites not on the Regal class ships are waste of money IMHO. On the Regal class they have a suite lounge that makes all the difference. Looking forward to trying MSC next month!
  10. We are sailing on MSC for the first time in March. After paying my final payment, I was going to pre-book a spa appointment since MSC says that they are at 40% discount for pre-booking. Available spa menu seems very limited in terms of variety, ie only massages and mani pedi are avaialble. Is this all they offer or are there more options on board? I normally book a combo treatment with facial, massage and seaweed wrap.
  11. I don’t think so. They give whatever is included in their highest tier (Diamond) which is only 15% off laundry, but they have other perks Elite on PCL doesn’t. Namely, discount on cruise fare, spa appt and 40% in shops. We have not sailed yet, so I really don’t know if the benefits are actually worth it.
  12. We have been on most major cruise lines, ended up loving Princess the most and have been somewhat loyal to the brand lately. We do venture to other lines (did NCL and Carnival last year, trying MSC next year for the first time), but nothing beats the feeling of stepping on Royal Class ship (our favorite class) for us. Just an FYI, MSC matches status (one of the reasons we decided to try them), so Elite on Princess will be matched to the highest level on MSC.
  13. Thank you everyone for responding! We already get complimentary laundry, not express though and mini-bar as well as separate line at Customer service. Unfortunately Diamond is the only one doing Japan, otherwise we would have booked Royal class ship in a heartbeat. We have previously been on Emerald, Ruby and Caribbean from that class of ships and are OK with them, but not favorite by any means. I would take Coral or any Royal class ship over any Grand ship.
