Kerryincork I went to Barcelona in Nov and getting the bus from the airport is really straight forward. Not sure about the subway although it's easy to use when in the city.

Go Kikki can't wait for your first update! Have a lovely relaxing, fun time.

Kikki is due to board this week so I'm sure she'll feedback

As far as I understand it if you upgrade everyone in the party has to upgrade. Which is why it doesn't look very appealing. I could pay for quite a lot of premium drinks with that money.

You have plenty of time Squish to see how it works out. At the moment I think people are being allocated early/late slots as they used to.

Kikki I've been to both Pompeii and Herculaneum before and by comparison Herculaneum is much smaller and doable in a short space of time. It's also better preserved in some ways. I'll be taking the kids to Pompeii on our stop using the bus/train as they've never been and I think they'll be more impressed by the scale. If you did consider Pompeii there is a very good app called Pompeii a day in the past, that has self guided tours based on how much time you can afford.

Well as I understand it Flexi is still suspended but MyChoice is still operating ( and operated previously on other ships for Aurea guests).

Thanks Anna that was a question I wondered. I assume it's the same I.e. You get allocated an MDR, for those who are on Aurea and MyChoice dining ( which I believe is still operating ).

Thanks Skier it was that picture I'd seen. Personally I think the Aurea package IS worth it ( perhaps dependent on which ship you're on). It gives you an opportunity to select a better cabin, use of spa facilities, massage included, free access to top sun deck, mychoice dining and of course the drinks package. I accept that if you do like a good choice of higher quality drinks it may not be ideal but generally speaking I think it's a good package from an all inclusive perspective .

You can/might be able to upgrade to the deluxe/premium package at a specified cost but would need to pay for all. I've not heard anyone who has been on meraviglia talk about this but it's possible. If you look on Beamafar posts from Meraviglia she's published drinks menus anything without an asterisk next to it is covered on the basic package, if it has asingle asterisk it's covered by the deluxe/premium package as well. Anything with two asterisks is t covered by any package.

It covers ice creams, sodas, coffees etc in certain bar/lounges ( but not all ).

I think someone posted an example of upgrade costs for the Davina and it looked quite expensive to me.

And the weather forecast for Barcelona on the 5th is a beautiful 27 degrees and Sunny.

Did that this week! I'm running out of things to do now. Still have to check in the family via the app( I've done me ) though.

Can't wait for the review kikki. In particular interested to see how the MDR are after the initial couple of weeks. You're Aurea arent you? Which is the same as us so I'm interested in how the My Choice dining works for you and what the Top 19 sun deck is like ( I have managed to find just one pic of this so far). Have a great time and hope it's everything you expect!

Great stuff both. Kikki I bet you really can't wait now! We've still got 30 days to go!!!! I think I've watched pretty much every video on YT. Saw the vids of the Way and Paz show today and was quite impressed.

I think Beamafar published the daily programmes recently which should give you a good idea

Thanks for the videos great quality. Can't wait to see it for real.

Quite a lot of posts on the forum will have menus for different speciality restaurants on different ships so if you do a search you'll find some. If you have booked then if you log on to the website using your booking number and name you'll be able to see the cost of buying speciality restaurant packages which may be better value if you intend to try a number of them.

I can sign on with my booking number and name. We're not due to go until beginning of August. In fact you can do all the checkin, security photos etc in the app so you should be able to get in.

I'm hoping that top deck (or whatever it's called ) that charges, but is free for Aurea guests, will be slightly quieter for a little sun when the kids have worn me down

There have been some great posts so far on Meraviglia but just wondering from those who have had the pleasure already what their favourite, quiet spots ( relatively speaking I guess ) were for those relaxing coffees or late night drinks away from the madding crowds.

Post #131 on this thread has the drinks menu for the "pub" which seems to show a big selection of beers without an asterisk so I'm assuming in the all inclusive drinks?

Fantastic videos in particular night shots. What camera are you using?

Sent from my iPhone using Forums

Nice to see it's pretty clear between normal checkin, priority and YC
