lisa12000 Posted September 12, 2017 #51 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Finally found some WiFi so will have to go through questions etc when we get home, at least those that have not been answered.Received an invitation late last night to the Captains Cocktail party tonight with dress code Gala ! Gala night was last night and we get off tomorrow, poor, poor, organisation. For anyone getting on tomorrow the first port stop is Le Havre. Hey good to hear from you - how has your week been? its certainly been an interesting experience - we have loved all the ports we have been to, lots of improvisation though thats for sure in what we have been doing; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing happened on Meraviglia - our last night onboard was Gala night, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidari Posted September 13, 2017 Author #61 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Le Have was cancelled yesterday due to a strike so we went to Rotterdam, Le Have was to be the first stop tomorrow but was changed back to Zeebrugge due to bad weather. We did not dock until 10.30 am today so the ship will now leave at 9pm, their organised chaos has not improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidari Posted September 13, 2017 Author #64 Share Posted September 13, 2017 We left Two hours late last week and arrived 3.5 hours late this morning, we left every port late in between plus had to spend two days in Zeebrugge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidari Posted September 21, 2017 Author #65 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Finally had time to track down this thread. Bea ... It was not the Gala night on our last night but the Welcome back Captains Cocktail Party at 7.30 pm where the Dress Code was Gala! the previous night had been the second Gala night. We had switched to the 6 pm Evening Dinner due to one of the kids falling asleep on the 8.30 pm dinner during the first two nights we went. Lisa ... I think if you travel with MSC a few times you get used to how they run things and plan accordingly, maybe this is why you though I was being to fair to them in our review. It was odd to find the Buffet with no food on one occasion after 5 pm to 6.30 pm when they advertise that food is available 22 hours a day! it could be that they think everyone eats Pizza between these times! Cruisingfox 27 ... I think it was the brighter more laid back colour scheme and the atmosphere on Preziosa that made it feel better, there were issues with Divina that left a bitter taste in the mouth that began before the T.A. In our Divina review we did say that we would likely not sail on another Fantasia class ship but Preziosa has changed that and our upcoming Seaside cruise in December may change it again. There is a review on the main board of our cruise which does not go into a great deal about the ship because I would just be describing Divina over again. Arriving in Southampton 3.5 hours late did not help with the Chaos of getting off the ship and the information given out was at times very poor.
