Nooooooo! The big round daybed was my favourite spot!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Absolutely not an expert, and we thought they had missed a trick too, but all we could guess was that there is one just outside each suite on the deck. Not private obviously. It can’t be stability (if I’ve understood your meaning) as MSC Royal suite has the most fabulous one on the balcony. As I say, I think they made a big mistake. One thing which is good, if it’s still the case, is the forward Retreat pool is pretty tricky to find and as a result doesn’t tend to get very busy. I had a few lone swims in there (it’s down some stairs just outside the suite). The friends we travelled with were in the other Sky Suite and they used the hot tub outside their suite every night, I don’t think anyone else was around.

That’s rather annoying! 😩

It’s the WiFi that I was particularly interested in as I’m sure last time we had included WiFi for 4 devices but our TA had said it wasn’t included. We won’t have the drinks package because with all the included alcohol I don’t think we will need it but would have been a bit peeved to have to buy WiFi.

That’s really interesting. Thank you for sharing. It’s quite different inside from Sky Princess as Sky has the dividers in the living area between dining and sitting plus both bedrooms have fairly substantial dressing rooms. But I imagine the bedrooms on Enchanted are therefore bigger? Same incredible balcony. 😃

Thank you! That makes sense, and as I said, we did have it last time. In fact, they even mended a tear in one of my dresses. 🥰

This is very helpful. I think you missed my question about included laundry. It was definitely included last time but I noticed it was not on the list of benefits for SS although it was for other suites, which I thought must be a mistake….?

Morning, @flhokie, I’ve checked my emails and discovered that Thor contacted us a month prior to sailing. I can also answer one more of your questions and that is about speciality dining. Yes, he/she will make any bookings for this as well as for the spa etc. Hope this helps. 😊

Although I’ve stayed in the Sky suite, it was 2022 so I’m interested in the answers to your questions as well as my own. We didn’t actually choose a movie when we were on, but we tried to watch Casino Royale and the sound was really distorted. Don’t know if others have found the same, or if it was my ears….😬 If I remember correctly we heard from Thor (shoreside concierge) about 3 weeks before the sailing.

Yes, we have and we are again in September. it was marvellous having the second bedroom as I had the whole master dressing room and bathroom all to myself and my husband had the other one! 😃 Plus, we sailed to Norway in June and other second bedroom was darker than the master so my husband would often sleep in there as he didn’t have an eye mask. That is one criticism of the suite. The curtains are not the best quality and barely reach across the window, so do take an eye mask if you’re cruising in Northern Europe in summer.

I’m so sorry, Shythom, I’ve only just seen this. We had a wonderful time in the Sky Suite. The reason I’m back in this thread is that we loved it so much, we’re going again in September. I notice there have been a few changes in the benefits and wanted to check with someone who has sailed in a Sky Suite more recently if these changes have changed the experience? My questions are: Is WiFi included if you’ve not got a drinks package? Is the Dyson hairdryer still in the suite? Is laundry included? Do you think a drinks package is required? Thank you. 😊

Large pods. Medallion is white. When we sailed last year occupants names were displayed outside. Looks as though this might have changed.

We only had cocktails in the YC restaurant (espresso martinis and Irish coffee) and I had the dirty banana and pina colada on the YC pool deck. I bet there are bars that do good cocktails. 🤞🏼

We are not big cocktail drinkers, but I do enjoy the odd one. the ones we had were espresso martinis (very bad), Irish coffee (bad), and dirty banana (nowhere near as good as Princess’), I had an ok pina colada. However, I witnessed a gentleman giving a recipe to the bartender on the top deck and he happily prepared it for him. Perhaps they would just need instruction and then it would be ok? They are such a superb crew. 😊

Agree. We were so surprised. A royal suite with a small, unsatisfactory bed, poor hanging space. The rest was exceptional. Fantastic balcony, wonderful staff, great food, super Wi-Fi, superb black-out curtains, no hard-sell at all in spa, delicious nibbles in top sail lounge, the hottest toast ever on a ship, best perk ever was reserved cabana for the entire cruise, brilliant, and we used it every day, BUT rubbish bed, crap hanging space, small shower, and bad cocktails (that we experienced). The pros certainly outweighed the cons, but the bed issue may stop us booking again….

YES!! We’ve just got back from our first MSC Virtuosa cruise. We were in the Royal Suite in YC. The bed was the smallest we have experienced on a ship and did not zip up so the only thing holding it together was the mattress topper. Our steward ingeniously tied sheets around the mattress to hold it more firmly which just about worked. 😏

It doesn’t seem that you get any prior notice of what the theme nights will be. We will be on Virtuosa out of Southampton, if anyone has recently sailed on that ship and can tell me what we might expect? 😊

Hi 👋🏻 We are going on our first MSC cruise in a couple of weeks. I see we should have some theme nights during our 15 night cruise. My question is, will we be told what these are going to be before we embark? I'm pretty sure one will be a “white night” and that is easy enough to pack for, but others have said they have had 70s/ABBA night. It’d be good to know before so we can pack appropriately. If we are told, will it appear on the app at some point? Thanks in advance

Fair enough! 😝

Wow! If that’s the case maybe I’ll only drink champagne too! 🥂🍾😃

Thank you, that’s really helpful. We’re sailing from Southampton, UK on Virtuosa, if there’s anyone who knows which brand might be offered on this ship and itinerary…🤞🏼😃

Hi everyone, We are doing our first MSC cruise next month with some friends. They only drink champagne. Will they be able to have as much champagne as they like? We are all in YC.

Hi, can anyone tell me what the house champagne is on MSC? We are in YC in September and are wondering. tia

Thank you so much for this. It worked for me. 😃

Thank you all for the replies. This is very exciting. We have had aft suites on many ships and so expect the docking vibrations. No problem. We switched from 1201 to the aft exactly because we were concerned about wind and potentially not having access to the balcony while sailing. Plus love the larger balcony (appreciate the forward suites have a very large balcony too) and knowing we can use the whole time. We aren’t high maintenance so the form we have submitted will be fine, I was more wondering whether they arrange embarkation times etc. Celebrity contact prior for alcohol and any special requests, Princess Sky suites contact prior for the same plus embarkation information, so I was curious if Regent did too. We are so looking forward to our first Regent cruise. 😬
