it is only starting on Horizon

that sucks. it really is very cool. we have done it on 3 or 4 ships and it's been different on each class. we did it before it got very popular, once they were making announcements trying to fill it up.

JH announced it a couple days ago, but it is supposedly only on the Horizon at this time. They are testing it and will roll it out to other ships later

we've been on cruises where we were waiting to get off right at the head of the line and we got off in 2 minutes... or 2 hours (there was an issue and they held everyone for over 2 hours).... we've done 17 cruises and i can tell you most of the time it goes smoothly, but we never try to make plans for "tight schedules". we had one at lauderdale and didn't schedule the 8:45 flight instead scheduled the 11:30 flight...we were sitting at airport at 8... you just never know.

or just unlucky.... the odds of hitting the powerball are very slim, but someone does... just b/c something happens don't start looking for conspiracies

that's exactly what i thought...

it is a bit different switching lines. well we have been used to Carnival, NCL and RCL. we are taking our first MSC cruise in about 5 days. we are excited about the changes, we know there are going to be differences

yes...we always get cancel for any reason. that's not the main reason we get it, we really get it for medical.

we always get TI now even for non-cruises.

i've always gotten cans, but usually the first time i get a soda from a bar tender i always tip them and from then on they usually just give me the can. (they will open it though, they won't give it to you sealed)

they do change multiple times per day. And many of the ones listed have already been taken if you try and book them. Generally you have to be pretty quick to get them we have taken a couple of these and have missed a few because we weren’t fast enough

we just booked that cruise... (never cruised MSC before)

totally awesome compared to MSC. We normally cruise on Carnival but decided to book a MSC cruise (was having issues with carnival's website after upgrade). Haven't been on the cruise yet (2 weeks away), but we have learned that the booking process and all the stuff after that is so night-and-day different between Carnival and MSC. Carnival is 5 stars and MSCs website is at bet 2 stars. Actually MSCs website experience is the worst we've ever seen between CCL, RCL, NCL, princess.... Of course as soon as we booked the cruise, carnival fixed the casino offerings the next day ... oh well

exactly!!! I had to quit reading 25% of the way through. If you are going to take the time to write up a long review (which it looks like s/he did), please hit a few returns between paragraphs or sections. It doesn't cost anything extra!!! There is no character limit! :)

i'm going to guess that he had icloud private relay turned on and you didn't.

i prefer not to talk to people that make my bubbles green :)

we are on 4 day close neighbors are okay. I guess it’s weird we have done 17 cruises and never had “assigned dining” time. This will be a first for us 🙂

we are going in a couple weeks, it was a “last minute deal”. It’s actually a short cruise as we didn’t want to book longer cruise without trying it first. It seems people either live or hate MSC. We are going in with the mindset “it’s different” and are going to have fun not matter what 🙂 we are concerned about MDR. We have always just dined “out time” before and prefer just a table for us. Can you find out if you are on larger table and request 2 topper? If so how and when is best to do this? they charge for 2nd entree??? Wow. Better make sure I get something I like then 🙂 thanks!

I have already found out that they have no Craps table and that’s all I play. But I know it going in so not a big deal 🙂 thanks

I just checked and ours are back (now that we booked a cruise in another line) go check yours 🙂

it says Fantastica. I didn’t even know what those meant…. I did just go and read about those differences so I at least understand them now i should mention that we rarely drink so alcohol is t a concern of ours thanks

We are on seashore out of port canaveral. Just a normal room (not yacht club)

Been on 15+ cruises all on princess, Carnival, RCL and NCL what should i expect to be different on MSC? (good and/or bad). Thanks!

ours are still going... so we booked a cruise (on another cruise line)... maybe they will be back

And I never said he did.
