We were on the Divina last Jan and will be on it again Jan coming.  The ship is aesthetically very, very nice. One of the prettiest ships we've sailed on. Cabins are comparable but comparing same category cabins with some other ships, balconies are larger.   Entertainment MUCH better than some others, Pool areas more spacious and comfortable than others. We never had a problem finding a lounger in a comfortable spot. One pool under a retractable  dome for inclement weather.   Buffet very go and best pizza (4 or 5 varieties every day) on any ship!,  MDR pretty comparable to other lines.    We cruise frequently and have been on just about every other line several times over  and some lines as many as 20 times and because of that, MSC matched our repeater level with their highest (black) and because of that embarkation was the quickest smoothest we've experienced.   I am impressed with MSC and the Divina.  However....I think there's a big difference between sailing MSC out for Fla and sailing MSC out of a European port. (We've done both)

We have never sailed MSC before.  We are Diamond Plus on RCL and Elite on Celebrity.  What differences are there on Divina between Fla. sailings and European cruises?   We will be on the Divina in June 2019 in the YC.

Thanks for your help.

Do we get the lotions in the YC ?

Which ship and which port of embarkation? It is different in US vs Europe.

In US, you will look for the white YC tent just outside of the main entrance to the terminal. Leave your luggage with the YC porters and NOT the regular porters. You will be escorted inside, through security, then to YC lounge for check in process. From there you will be taken to the gangway to meet a butler that will take you to the YC. For disembarking in ports of call, just let the butler know when you wish to leave the ship. At your final disembarking, you will be escorted to the gang way for leaving and will be taken to the front of the line to get off. Hope this is the info you are looking for.

How does it work in Europe? We will we sailing on the Divina next June leaving from and returing to Civitavecchia.

Thank you.

I can't find the area where you register for the Meet & Mingles. Can someone help me?

Extra charge for all. Black card holders get one free meal in one of them.

Thank you. I am Diamond Plus on RCCL and Elite on Celebrity so I will be Black on MSC.

Am I understanding that there is a extra charge for the speciality restaurants for YC guest?

We have used SAS several times. I would highly recommend them.

I'm glad to hear that you like the anthem we sell on her in January 12 nighter. I like to hear that there are nooks and crannies to snuggle! Any suggestions of your favorite nook on board?

Hi Eileen

How are you?

I had to sign up 4 times as well as others on our July 12 Anthem cruise. I am so sick of the IT dept. They need a whole new crew in that area. I think my 3rd grade GS could do a better job.

I am really enjoying your review. We were on the same cruise as you and our cabin was a few cabins away from you. I'll be back on the Anthem in July. Really looking forward to the return visit.

These are the same menus we had on the Anthem in Jan and Feb. 2018.

Looking forward to another of your live reviews. Always enjoy them.

Take good care of the Anthem. We will be boarding on the Jan. 28.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and all our other cruise mates.

Looking forward to you review on board. We will be sailing on her in Oct. for the first time.:)

I would love to do that one again too. :)

 

On that one we went from Platinum, skipped over Emerald (and never

got the pin!! :eek: ;)) and right into Diamond.

 

Our cruise mates were fantastic! :)

On that one we were Platinum. The next cruise we were Diamond. We also skipped Emerald. Now we have been Diamond+ for several cruises.

Sherri, we did the Jewel one time TO the locks, anchored out for the day,

took a double decker ferry boat through the whole lock system. Was

fabulous. Even got to reach out and touch the wall, great picture.

Nice "booze cruise" with lunch, then bused us back from Panama City.

 

Was a nice alternative anyway. :) The Bridge of Americas was very

impressive indeed. :)

We did the same itin. in 2009. It was a wonderful experience.

Nassau!

If we call to St. Thomas and we dock at Crown Bay we stay onboard. If we are lucky enough to dock at Havensight we get off. Like the shopping at Havensight.

We have sailed on the Oasis 3 times and the Allure 2 times. Love all 5 cruises.

Looking forward to your review. We will be sailing on the Harmony in May.

Don't waste your time calling customer service. Call C&A. Their number is 1-800-526-9723 for U.S. and Canada.

Happy New Year to all the folks on CC.

Spending time and having dinner with our family.

Bon Voyage!

I've pre-booked certain times for select dining online (once on Celebrity and once on RCCL). It was terrible. We still had to wait 15-30 minutes for a table.

You probably chose prime times. We have used MTD at least 6 times or more. We have never waited more then a few minutes. We will be using on our Equinox cruise in Oct. I think we chose 6 p.m. for every night.
