Two Wheels Only

What I was told was that the spot under the keypad (where the numbers are) is where the YC wristbands would be used if the system was active. It would still work the same way as far as selecting the desired destination but the summoning of the elevator would be expressed if the system was in use.

You forgot smoking locations, children in Yacht Club/Haven/Retreat, chair hogs, butler usage, nickel and dime, bait and switch, buffet line-cutting, drone usage, tattoos, loyalty status bragging, dropping step-grandchildren out of windows.......👎

When I was on Seashore, the Priority Elevator feature wasn't active. I've used it on other ships but it didn't happen on Seashore. Even when it works, it isn't always better than standard elevator service (Meraviglia). On Seaside, certain elevators worked better than others. Consistent inconsistency....MSC. 😉

"Club Balcony Suites provide additional amenities and privileges at no additional cost. Amenities include the option to pre-book onboard entertainment and dining as early as 125 days prior to sail date, complimentary treats delivered to your stateroom, a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine, and a choice of one valet laundry or pressing service." - LINK

They are separate. You order what you want from the pasta section then order what you want from the secondi section (only 1 from that section).

For a 7 night cruise, it went from 3 meals to 2 meals on April 15, 2020.

It looks more "annoying" than "fun".

I've done similar. I booked a sleeps 4 for only 2 people because of bed location and balcony size. Once for an angled balcony and once for a larger than standard "secret" balcony. I had to call but it was no problem. As a side note, it seems that most people don't want a connecting stateroom unless they specifically try to book one. When people ask about a specific stateroom, I usually try to warn them if it is connecting.

Thanks.....for the photos. 😁

For some ships, the sleeping capacity will alternate between 3 and 4. If someone is booking as 2 or 3, there will be "gaps" as the booking engine will skip the "sleeps 4" staterooms. If people are booking as a group of 4, the "sleeps 2 or 3" will obviously be skipped. What happens is that people in one group will book a connecting stateroom and the one connected to it will be empty until someone in the other group books it. Try doing a mock booking with the other group as your number of guests. See if any available connecting staterooms match with the group number that you currently have. If you find a match, have either a PCC or travel agent book that pair. They can book 2 or 3 in a sleeps 4.

You also have the penalty box on deck 8.

I think that the "CXL" is just how MSC deals with changes. As long as the "INCL" is correct, I wouldn't worry. I have plenty of CXL lines on confirmations whenever a change is made but in the end, everything has been correct.

It opens enough but if someone is overly "fluffy" or extra plus-sized....IDK.

Here is the 2nd bedroom with the sofa bed in "sleeps 2" configuration. The small door for the bathroom doesn't open fully when the bed is like this, iirc. Nearly all of the 2BR H6 (new code) have the Pullman in the ceiling. The only one that doesn't sleeps 5 (16722)

2 in master bedroom. 3 in 2nd bedroom (sofabed can be configured to sleep 1 or 2 and Pullman for 1 in the ceiling). 1 in living room (sofabed for 1).

Only about 30% of the reservations are available before the cruise. The rest open on embarkation day.

The package is still "free" but the service charge still needs to be paid. This goes for everyone who takes the PBP promo. By taking the package and paying 1 service charge, the guest isn't charged 20% per drink the way that someone without the package is charged. A person with the PBP can have 100 drinks and pay nothing extra.

True but buying a SDP (specialty dining package) for guest #3 is the same price no matter who #3 is. Doing it the creative way gets the soda package for $1.99 per person per day instead of the full price of $9.95 pppd + $1.99 pppd.

If guest #1 or #2 gets the PBP promo, all other adults also get the PBP promo and pay just the 20% service charge. It's all or nothing. If guest #2 is a minor, that minor would get the soda package. All other adults would still get the PBP. If a guest other than #2 is a minor, that minor gets nothing.

No, he would only pay the 20% service charge (currently $19.80pppd....per person per day).

Sorry, PBP = Premium beverage package....alcohol and stuff.

Husband will still get PBP as guest #3. If the plan is... Guest #1 - PBP Guest #2 - Soda Guest #3 - PBP ...it will work fine.

When you booked with the FAS drink package (PBP), the 20% service charge for the package was added to your total. You won't be charged a service charge on your drinks unless you go over the $15 per drink limit. If you go over, you only pay the difference plus 20% on that difference. A $20 shot will cost $5 plus $1 service charge ($6 total). If you choose to tip beyond that, it is up to you. A tax can be collected on drinks while the ship is in port and within a certain distance from land (depends on where you are). It's usually less than 10% of the cost of the drink. For example, a $12 drink while the ship is docked in Miami will cost about $1 on your onboard account. The $12 is covered by the package and the service charge on the drink is covered by what you already paid when you made final payment. The same drink while the ship is at sea won't cost anything to your onboard account. Everything will be covered by what you're already selected/paid. EDIT Didn't notice that the OP was in the UK. 🤐 See KeithJenner for all things UK related.

I'm not sure what the restrictions are for Bella but I would suggest speaking to the Maitre d' as soon as you board the ship.

NCL tried that a few years ago in the UK and the "all inclusive" price was MORE than the price + DSC + service charges that other parts of the world were paying. In other words, the corporation will inflate prices to cover the missing "add-ons" that are charged now.
