Based on the B and M, I’d gladly stay in a balcony cabin by myself! Lord help having to use an elevator!

Per WPTV, the ship was put on no sail after its annual inspection. Conditions found need to be rectified before sailing.

If you go to their website, “What’s Not Included” it states fuel surcharge of $12 per day pp. This Should be spelled out in the booking process because this could add almost $50 for a couple, to what I feel is over priced to begin with. In my experience, this has only been done when fuel prices were unusually high, not all the time.

65, British Isles!!

Same experience here…arrrr.

I’m pretty sure they do, but haven’t used them before. Maybe someone will comment with experience.

We are sailing out of Southampton in September, and are looking to do emed testing, 24/7 no appointment needed. Not sure if you can have shipped to UK, we will hand carry the kits to the UK.

I’ve been on the Grand Classica (before renamed Margaritaville) 4 times and have never noticed the sewage smell in cabins. We try to get a cabin on deck 5 or 6, not dec 4.

We have been on about 20 of the cruises out of West Palm Beach, on the 3 ships that have sailed out of there since 2010 or so. It is a matter of convenience, living about 20 miles from the port. I figured that Margaritaville at Sea would eventually have the 2 for 1 fares, to try and fill the ship. Since you primarily sail Princess, it would be best to not have high expectations for Margaritaville. It is a 30 yo ship, with few of the amenities that the larger, newer ships offer. A couple of things that we do like: Wine tasting on first day, champagne breakfast first morning, (if still having these) and usually a decent band in the evening in one of the lounges. Also the cabins are rather large for the size ship. Over the years, we have gotten to know several crew members and look forward to seeing them. Look at a lot of review videos, as there were several media cruises, with opinions positive and negative. Good luck!! As for MSC, is one of my favorite cruise lines, having been on 4 MSC cruises, 3 booked for next year. They are very international and a lot of the guests are from Europe. They have a very different pricing structure than other cruise lines. I could go on, but this is not the MSC forum.

Well, things may be getting slow for Margaritaville at Sea, 2 for 1 sale through December 16!!

We always buy luggage that looks like something you would not buy, loud color etc.
