  1. How many are staying in the suite? Are you trying for 2 in master bedroom, 2 in second bedroom, and 2 in living room?
  2. The wait depends on how busy it is, how many people are waiting before you, and if you have a reservation or not. It needed, head to the nearest bar until your table is ready. Sometimes, there is no wait at all. You can make reservations months in advance just to make sure that you have a spot.
  3. Thanks for the review. I have World America booked for 2025 so a lot of the World Europa info will carry over. Some things will be different, obviously. Since so many things have changed (improved?) from the first Oasis class ship to the last, it will be interesting to see how MSC changes (improves?) from the first World Class ship to the last.
  4. MSC also has... "Marijuana possession or use, including medical marijuana, is strictly prohibited on board, on shore excursions and at private destinations."
  5. It depends on when you book. If you book early when both are available, you can get a livable price.
  6. The Pitbull commercial is from when Escape first went into service.
  7. The song by Queen was also used years earlier in a Coca-Cola commercial.
  8. I also miss the old Yacht Club area in Miami BUT on my last sailing out of Miami, it was so quick to arrive, check-in, and board, it didn't really matter to us.
  9. If you don't have a drink package..... Every drink has 20% added to it as a "gratuity/service charge". A $10 drink will cost you $12. If you do have the package via promo... NCL covers the cost of the package ($109 per person per day) but you will pay the 20% ($21.80 pppd) of the package cost before you board because it is included in your final payment cost. With the package, the $10 drink is completely covered and the 20% that you would otherwise be charged is covered by the 20% that you already paid. Even if you have twenty $10 drinks in one day, you won't be charged anything additional. Your package covers included drinks up to $15. If you get a drink that is over $15 ($20, for ex.), you will pay the difference ($5) plus 20% on that difference ($1). Your $20 drink will cost you $6 onboard. I'm using U$D just to get the point across.
  10. Escape 12864 has the bed near the closet and the sofa bed near the balcony.
  11. No. Yes. If you're getting drinks "a couple of times a day", it might be better to take the package. Taking the package adds $21.80 per person per day. If your daily consumption is more than that without a package, you'll be better off with the package. When you don't have a package, 20% is added to the cost of each individual drink that you order. No, you add funds to your onboard account and use your ship/room card for purchases. Yes. Yes. It depends on when the drop takes place.
  12. You might have just gotten a bad staff member. I've had custom fresh pizza delivered to the sundeck on multiple cruises and on multiple ships. MSC's inconsistency (even for Yacht Club) can rub people the wrong way. Someone sailing your ship 2 weeks after you might have no problem getting pizza delivered to the sundeck.
  13. That would depend on what the OP did. I drive from my front door to the port so I've never used any service (NCL or other) to get there. People often say that their cruise "...left from Orlando..." when they are referring to Port Canaveral.
  14. Were you asking about the song by Pitbull or asking about the song by Queen?
  15. Port Canaveral is close to Orlando International Airport (MCO). It's a little over a 30 minute drive but it's actually a different city and county.
  16. NCL put 18132 into the "large balcony" category because the balcony is slightly wider than the HF staterooms on deck 18. I don't think that the stateroom itself is significantly wider, though.
  17. Are you guys insinuating that if the food is too good...the OP should kill the cook? 🤔
  18. If more and more guests complain about people who are making videos.....😡 ...the result will be that more and more people who make videos will invest in smaller/hidden cameras so that the guests who complain won't even know that a video is being made until after the video is uploaded for the world to see. 😳 Would you rather know that you are being recorded (larger camera) or not know that you are being recorded (smaller camera)? For better or for worse, not being recorded isn't an option until someone sells suits with built-in stealth like in the movie 'Predator'.
  19. The slide makes 15208 the worst but the close proximity of the bump out hurts 15208 and 15808. I would take 15810 if I had the choice.
  20. Whether port side or starboard side, the view forward from the balcony is blocked by the bump out. The view from 15208 is probably the worst one.
  21. Seashore/Seascape info matches for 19002.
  22. Thai will work IF the spice caliber is done correctly. Wine will work IF the availability of selections is done correctly. Vegan will be empty (like Margaritaville) and will eventually be removed and replaced with something else (like Margaritaville).
  23. That's not mistreatment of Bella and Fantastica guests. It's elevated treatment of Aurea and Yacht Club guests. If someone is walking through the desert and I hand them a cold 16.9oz bottle of Dasani water, that person shouldn't feel mistreated if I hand a Yacht Club guest a cold 1L bottle of Acqua Panna water.
  24. The were (temporarily) in 15002 on World Europa.
