The Divina docked at Porta Langosta; we were told that all MSC ships would dock there. (but you can confirm)

Thank you!

I have a third question...if you went to Cozumel, what pier did you dock at?

Thank you again, Kathy

Thank you all for the replies and am very happy to hear you all enjoyed your week too!  Looking forward to getting onboard.

That is terrific to hear - we are going next week!

Just a couple questions:

Was the F1 and/or the flight simulator open?  Any sense of the number of passengers? 

Thank you!

I was in 9166.  Great cabin for me on my own.  Not too terribly small for an inside. 

 

The "secret elevator" is the little square just forward from that cabin.  It takes you right up to the entrance of the buffet.

 

I try to take the stairs as much as possible, but my knee was bothering me, so I used it mostly if I was going down more than a couple of decks.

 

I would definitely book that class cabin again, just not one of the ones on the end.  Not sure if the port side cabin had that crew area door or not but I wouldn't risk it!

Thank you very much.  We are in the Starboard Aft, and while I hope the crew area there is not as noisy, will bring earplugs just in case.  Good to know about the secret elevator too, as every once in a while an elevator ride can be necessary.

I was in a Bella inside, deck 9.  Cabin was fine for a solo.  I was just around the corner from what I called the single "secret" elevator.  Problem with being on the end was that there was a crew area next/behind me and the big metal door was slammed over and over and over.  Last night, they must've been using that area for luggage collection because they keep me awake into the wee hours.  Just glad I wasn't driving home because I was a zombie the next day.

 

Hi, we are booked in a Bella inside, deck 9 in January.  Would you mind giving your exact cabin number? I am hoping we are not in the same area.  Thank you

We were there today and a sign is posted that they are closed until further notice. We walked around the grounds and enjoyed the visit anyway.

The best site to get updates is their Facebook.com/nationalparkservice and not the nps.gov site.

We are also on this cruise...thinking the same thing

We were too, but a front page article "Protect Yourself and Your Family" in today's VIConsortium.com had the following excerpt...

Protect yourself from mosquitoes

Use EPA-approved repellent that contains oil of lemon eucalyptus, Picaridin, IR3535, or DEET...

Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants.

The Virgin Islands Department of Planning and Natural Resources (DPNR) advises the public to be cautious when using the coastal waters throughout the territory until further notice. There may be an elevated health risk to anyone swimming in storm water-impacted areas as a result of increased concentrations of bacteria.

People should also be aware that stormwater runoff due to hurricanes and tropical storms may also contain contaminants or pollutants harmful to human health due to storm debris. Areas of stormwater runoff, such as puddles and drainage basins, should be avoided.

...will check the advisory as date draws closer, but beach day may not pan out :(
