CBD is NOT illegal in the US.

Yeah, Apple does it way earlier than Android. They make phones obsolete often.

Interesting because we were told by MSC that she should NOT have been charged the single supplement since she already paid double occupancy. She got a refund.

Happens to me whenever I travel, whether it's a cruise or not. Usually happens after flying. Lots of water, especially if you're drinking lot of alcohol. Also, food is not what you're used to so that could happen as well. I call it "travel tummy" lol

We were boarding the MSC Meraviglia same day as you. Y'all left before SpaceX launched the rocket - were y'all able to see it?

No idea - we didn't go.

Look people, I wasn't coming here too complain about MSC but rather state my experience and the fact that I'm happy to be coming back to Royal. Like I said, we were on a cruise so we had a great time. It just wasn't OUR cup of tea. I wasn't saying this to deter anyone from MSC, nor was I trying to tell people that their experiences were wrong. I was merely explaining WHY we're back loyal to Royal. That's all. If you take issue with what I said, then you just need to calm down.

Maybe it's a new thing? $18 per person for both comedy show and the arial acrobatics show.

Meraviglia. Ship was beautiful.

I've cruised many times before - just not MSC until now.

Tell them to bring it. Lol

They also charge for the comedy show.

Thanks! I will definitely check it out. Is Enchanted Princess a new ship? Funny enough, after I saw your reply I went on and checked their cruises for that time of year and came across Sky Princess. No joke, just as I was searching, I saw Mighty Cruise Ships on TV, and it was Sky Princess. Maybe the universe is trying to tell me something lol

LOL Yes she does! She'll be excited to dress up too, for dinner

We had the opposite on MSC - food in buffet was plentiful - so many options for breakfast and lunch. We never had dinner here. Embarkation was simple - we got in line at 10:00 am, and were checked in by 10:15. Boarding started at 11:00 and we were first group on. Debarkation, we did self assist and were off the ship and through immigration in 10 minutes. But I agree with your other points.

Yes, MSC did have much better pizza. I actually enjoyed the food on MSC, just wish they had more options. Their steakhouse was great!

We're also bringing my sister and nephew, so RCCL is a better fit. But Princess is definitely something to look at. Although my mom did say "I want the ship with the mall" LOL

To each their own. I've been on more than just Royal and MSC, and MSC is a very different product than anything I've been on before. I like the additional dining options on Royal. I like the fact that I can use my drink package anywhere. I like the fact that I don't have to wait 30+ minutes for a drink at a bar. Like I said, we had a great cruise, but it just wasn't for us. Royal just has an overall much better product, and MSC has a lot of learning to do. MSC even charges extra for shows, which really surprised me. We're all entitled to our own opinions, and our own likes and dislikes.

Yes, we had friends with us who were in Yacht Club - the perks were nice. I wasn't comparing suites though - I was comparing like for like. You get A LOT more with Royal in a standard room. Their butler did make dinner reservations for all of us, so that was nice. But again, Royal is just a much better product.

totally agree - could not be happier that she's so excited to travel again! MSC can try all they want to "take over the industry", but they have a long way to go.

I don't wanna complain too much here as I'm not one for complaining. We had a great time regardless, and the ship was beautiful. But by the end of the cruise, we had named them "Spirit Airlines of the Seas". They nickel and dime you for everything, even shows. Drink package not available at shows or in certain dining venues. Only main dining room and buffet were included, everything else, even little cafes, were extra. Not a single other complimentary venue. It just wasn't Royal, and it wasn't our cup of tea. But like I said, we were on a cruise and had a great time, so that's really all that matters.

Haven't been on a cruise since pre-covid, until our bday cruise we just took last week - on MSC. Never again. I have learned my lesson and will never stray again. Well, at least not with MSC. Booking Harmony for October, and bringing my 82 year old mother, who has never been on a cruise. She's never been interested, until now. Anyway, she has a ton of questions and she's actually excited, which makes me happy because she has barely left the house since early 2020, when her partner passed, and then Covid hit. Does my heart happy that she's ready to travel again, and I get to take her on her first cruise. I can't wait to see her face when she boards Harmony! I don't think she really has any idea how massive the ship actually is.

I'm aware of what it is, and it's still not smoke. I don't vape nicotine, so I have no argument here, but it doesn't bother me like smoke does. I will, however, still smoke my weed pen before bed and sleep like a baby.

Vape is just that - vapor! It is not smoke. While the rules state that you can't vape in your room, no one is gonna smell it. If people get upset about a vapor, then they just want to complain. But if you do get in trouble for it, that's on you.

Fish tacos originated in Mexico - Baja California Mexico to be exact. They are a true Mexican dish, not Tex Mex, but many tex mex restaurants serve them too. If done properly, they're AMAZING!
