Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Good morning all, just wondering with all these new changes for embarkation (Green Lane Blue Lane etc.) does the priority line for Elite/Suite guests still exist? Or do we have to go with everyone else? And if this is the case is there still a priority lounge at the pier? Also does anyone with the Plus and Premium Package get priority embarkation as well? This is new so maybe answers will come in later. Thanks for your answers. Have a great day and happy cruising.
  2. Good morning all, sailing on MSC Divina on her trans-Atlantic cruise on May 15. Would like to know the following: Is coffee/tea/hot water and ice tea available 24/7 in the buffet restaurant? If not where can I get them late at night or in the wee hours of the morning? Will there be a hot water kettle in the cabin and if not can I request one from cabin steward? Thank you for your replies. Have a good day.
  3. Hello all, I have two questions regarding Internet access on board MSC Divina. The first question is regarding internet speed. I am sailing from Miami to Genoa. How is the speed going across the Atlantic? Are there any bad spots along the way? Secondly, this is in regards to the cost of the Internet Package. I am looking at purchasing the Browse and Stream Package. The price quoted is CDN$325.85 for one device for the 19 night cruise. As I understand it this is the price with the 20% discount factored in. Is this correct? There is nowhere on the site that shows you the per diem price for an Internet Package. Also as a Voyager Diamond member there is a further 10% discount for Internet Packages. Where does the 10% discount come into play? Oops sorry, that is more than 2 questions, but hope someone can reply to this. Last question, is it better to purchase the Package prior to the cruise or purchase it on the first day. Thank you for all your replies. Have a good day.
  4. Hello all, just wondering what free beverages are served in the buffet during Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner? Also if anyone knows how fast are the streaming internet speeds on the Divina. Is this better? Thanks !!!

  7. Will be arriving in Genoa Italy in June 2023. I would like to know if MSC offers a shuttle service to Milan (either Citycentre or Airport). Tight now they have an excursion for Genoa ending at Milan Airport. I do not want a tour of Genoa. I just want to get to Milan. I know there is train service from Genoa to Milan, but the timing is not right. Thank you for your answers. By the way I have looked at the European Port of Calls page and there is nothing there.
  8. Hello everyone, this question is for anyone who has sailed on the MSC Divina. I see that the TV is not very big. And it seems that there is room to go around the back to hook up a HDMI cable so that I can watch movies from my computer. Is this possible? Or is there some other things I should be aware of. Thanks for your reply. I have also posted this on the MSC Roll Call board to see if anyone can answer this question.
  9. What about Diamond Status guests? Do they have priority embarkation as well? This is documented on the website for the Voyagers' Club Information. Thank you.
  10. Hello, been to Rome many times. A few things to consider. What time does the ship arrive in Rome and what time does it sail? There is no customs clearance as it is part of the EU. What you have to contend with is: You have a shuttle to take you from the pier to Largo Della Pace. (https://civitavecchia.portmobility.it/en/shuttles) This is about a 15 minute walk to the train station. But you can get off the shuttle at Fort Michelangelo. Walk out through the gate and it is a 5 minute walk to the train station. Then you have to take the train into Rome. (www.trenitalia.com). Trains run every 45 minutes or so. And it takes 50 minutes to an hour to get into Rome. Then you have to think of what you want to see. All the sights are spread out and you will need to plan to get there by subway. (Rome Metro (Metropolitana) - Map, Routes & Stations) Lastly you have to plan on returning to the ship. Reverse of what you have done in the morning. You don't want to be a pier runner !!!! Check for shore excursions booked through the Cruise Line. But they are usually tours that end up at the airport and not back to the ship. Also look at tour companies like Viator. Good luck and have fun.
  11. Hello all, haven't been to San Juan in quite a while. Was wondering when MSC ships visit San Juan, do they dock at the Old Port or at the Terminal next to the domestic airport across from the Old Town. And if they do is there a shuttle to Old Town. Thank you for your answers. Have a great evening
  12. Does it mean that a "Diamond Member" in the Voyagers' Club also have priority boarding? They have assigned me a 4 PM boarding time but according to the FAQ as a Diamond Member I have priority boarding. Is this correct? Thank you for your answers.
  13. No I am not in YC. But I have Diamond Status, thanks to my Elite status with Princess. Does MSC have a separate line for Diamond members to check in like they do at Princess? Thank you for your replies.
  14. Hello all, just a couple of questions regarding embarkation in Miami. My first time on MSC. First off is there a separate line for Yacht Club cabins and Diamond Voyagers Member for embarkation in the Port of Miami. Would they check your embarkation time when you check in. Or is the embarkation time on your reservation just a time generated by the system. Thank you for your replies. Have a good day.
  15. Hello first time on MSC. Just wondering whether they serve coffee in the buffet for breakfast. I am booked on Fantasia section and it says coffee will be available in MDR for lunch and dinner but no mention of breakfast. Any information would be appreciated. This is for the trans-Atlantic cruise next May from Miami to Genoa. Secondly about the internet. I plan on buying the browse/stream internet option for one device. Can you change from say a cell phone to a tablet or a laptop or will you be stuck on the one device you logged on first. (e.g. Princess lets you switch from one device to another directly) Thank you for any info. Have a great day.
