Merly Posted September 20, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Boarded today. Ship is 'very bling'. By that I mean lots of glass, black and white and sparkly. Very clean and tidy. Cabin good, huge balcony as aft cabin. Buffet lunch was good, coffee shop nice. Nice to see menus at the bars but what you can have in the drinks package is a bit odd it's not based on price , for example you can't have hot chocolate! But good selection of spirits etc. Looking forward to dinner tonight. So far so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Beamafar Posted September 20, 2017 #2 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Bon Voyage ............... hope you have a wonderful cruise! :) On the subject of the hot chocolate .............. are you sure it's not included? All the speciality coffees and flavoured hot chocolates that are listed in the coffee bar menu have an asterisk so are only included in the premium package, but there's (usually) a list of coffees, hot chocolate, at the back of the menu that the basic drinks package includes. It's not always easy to find - you have to look for it. It's also served in the Phoenician Plaza - my favourite place to hang out - I've often had hot chocolate with a shot of Baileys for elevenses there that was definitely covered by the basic package.

Will have another look tonight, maybe I missed it. Thank you Had a nice evening in one of the bars, very busy and a couple of people a bit worse for wear. There was a fist fight in a corridor. Food at dinner was good although not a good selection for me as I don't eat meat or seafood. Humous and bread doesn't constitute a main meal. Chaos getting of the ship today.

sidari Posted September 21, 2017 #4 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Any kind of fighting on any ship should meet with being put off at the next port of call regardless of where in the World you are from. Chaos is MSC`s middle name ... :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
