Great cabin location for Alaska!

Hope you do a review. 🌹🌺

We have one of the end cabins that has a side window. We can look out and aft from our balcony. 10182 on Ascent. It’s also not directly below pool deck. 🌺 similar to this…

Just wanted to report how easy it was to receive a refund on my upcoming cruise. Booked a suite guarantee for December. We were assigned a cabin right away. Received one of the best Magic Carpet Suites. Guarantee price dropped $400. Final Payment is months away. We weren’t sure if we were still considered a guarantee price level since we had a cabin. Quick call to customer service and price guarantee was active and quickly processed reduction in price. Thank you celebrity! Great service!

AT&T has a $10 a day international plan that I have turned on. It works in most Caribbean ports we frequent. In case something glitches, that’s all we get charged. The rest of time it’s airplane mode and we are not charged. A few years ago we had Verizon. My husband turned his phone on while in a port and all the downloads were waiting. He was charge close to $200. But Verizon refunded us with a call when we were back home.

From the website; *A food credit in the amount of $30 for lunch (sea days only) and $50 for dinner will be provided at the following a la carte specialty restaurants: Sushi on Five and Raw on Five. Food credit amounts are subject to change at any time and without notice.

Thanks for highlighting that. That was what I tried to convey. lol.

FYI, we did not ask to be put on an upgrade list. We were content with the Havana cabana. It is my husbands birthday during the cruise, so that did increase the odds we would accept this upgrade. Not sure if that played into the offer but it was mentioned by the person that I upgraded with.👀

I’m interested in seeing if the sailing is full. The woman that called me said the room popped open last minute. I’m going to see who has our old room and see when they upgraded. 🌺

$502 for 2 of us. I expected it to be much more and was ready to say no.

So excited! We are leaving Saturday on the Horizon for 8 night Southern cruise. We were booked in a Havana Cabana and got called today for a great offer to upgrade to the Havana Suite. It’s my hubby’s birthday so it will make it that much better! If anyone wants any info from our cruise, just blew me know! I’ll report out for you!

Well, it was officially canceled. Just got notice and will receive a refund.

Yes! It feels like old school Florida there. Love the vibe!

We’re on the Horizon January 20 out of PC. It’s a great port!

Thank you both. It’s is still showing in my daily planner and have not received a refund, so hopefully all is well. I will call them to verify just in case. I’ll check back and report if Carnival tells me anything new.

We booked our excursion before final payment was due for our January cruise. I wanted to read the description again, but it’s not showing at all in the excursions section. There are other excursions showing sold out but ours is just gone. Is that normal or is there a possibility of it having been canceled and we find out on board?

We truly enjoyed your company. It’s nice to experience cruising with new friends! Enjoy the rest of your trip snd I hope service smooths out for you!

Our last dinner was just awkward. Sat for over 15 minutes with no attention while a large group monopolized the staff. And then the food was cold. Flavor was good but room temp lamb wasn’t on my culinary bingo card. In Wayne’s quest for non alcoholic drink choices, he did find more bright spots. The Fever Tree Elderflower Tonic was a nice surprise and MSC gives proper attention to their hot tea service. We’ve had an ongoing conversation about the service on this cruise. The staff was working hard but didn’t seem as connected to the passengers. There were some bright spots but just seemed like they weren’t in sync yet. We aren’t sure if it is due to the larger size of Yacht Club on these newer ships or has cruising service just become meh. We did decide we will keep giving MSC a go and plan on leaning into the good moments we experience.

Dinner tonight was awkward. Sat for longer thank normal while a large group monopolized the staff. And then food was cool. We’ve had an ongoing conversation about the size of Yacht Club on the newer ships or has cruising service just become meh. Not sure of the answer but we will keep giving it a go!

After bringing a box from home, we found a box in our desk drawer in the cabin. 🤪

So we booked another cruise onboard last night. Our future cruise consultant, Buse was very knowledgeable and very customer focused. Booking on board benefits include the ability to reserve your choice if room, full ability to move cruises and a $200 onboard credit. Next up, breakfast and Ocean Cay.

Had a great time at dinner with you both last night! Like you, staying onboard but at the pool deck. Plenty of spots, even shady ones!

We worked out later this morning. The gym was busy but we were able to find equipment to get our daily moves in. Wish list: Kettle bells. A bit more room for yoga mats.

Wayne has tried a few non alcoholic drinks and gives MSC high marks for trying to mix it up. The coffees and tea in the Yacht Club arrives quickly and hot! Interesting enough the Cappuccino arrived cold at Venci! Odd. Be warned that the wine selections by the glass in the Yacht Club restaurant are rotated and there isn’t any information or menu about that nights choices. So you may want to grab a glass from the Top Sail before dinner from their menu.

Today started a bit off for us. We slept very well last night and didn’t get to the restaurant as early as normal. We arrived at 9:32 and the restaurant had closed gir breakfast at 9:30. Sigh. We will read our daily next time! Had good choices at the One Pool buffet but it was windy. Wayne was disappointed as his eggs got very cold quickly. Oh well, I’m sure we will have plenty of time to make up those calories at lunch. 😝
