leaving soon

We are going on the lirica on Jan 23rd anybody else going on that date? Has anybody brought wine or other on board in their luggage?:):):)

Hello candlewick... yes we are on that cruise. We have a roll call going on the roll call forum. We are going to buy some hard alcohol, and some pop to put in our luggage... the beer is pretty cheap if u buy the beer package, we did the math and it worked out to 2.17 US a beer... pretty good. We also got the 7 wine package for dinner, and it worked out to 9.47 a bottle. Anways, look forward to chatting with you more!!! Take care.

Thanks so much!!! This is great. I tried calling MSC but was on hold for a really long time and finally gave up.;)

No problem. We ordered through our travel agent, and it was on our credit card within a day... and then we paid it off! We want to keep our sign and sail low... it's nice to pay for it ahead of time... take care!
