No deals on board. Not sure how much cheaper package was online because checked right before cruise and seemed about same but it might have been too late. The regular food i in the complimentary restaurants is downright awful. This is the worst cruise food I've ever had. The meals are barely edible. If you want to try something else $5 surcharge. This is new. And never charged for this on other cruises. Granted post cruise I was on 7 years ago but the food was a zillions time better. I don't think I will cruise msc again Also our of stock of things they usually have of value, like smoked salmon The buffet is overcrowded at all times with rude people cutting. You'll wait 40 minutes on line and then by the time you get there they are out and the staff don't care. Sorry, we have to close now. Gelato at the back of the ship is 7bucks. This type is stuff was always included on other cruise lines

I would think the white would be the shampoo and the brownish clear would be the body wash but it's labeled opposite

On the ship now. Just looked in desk drawer and found the hair dryer but no tissues

Got a few wash clothes from the cart but the steward said they didn't get the tissue shipment ?

Booked Fantastica Balcony, no wash cloths.... And no tissues. Never been in a cabin without facial tissue

Unfortunately I am in the peasant cabins

Is it the same stuff ? The "MED" ?

So if you dont checkin 48 hours before you could check out at port terminal? Also what if passport number changes ? My friend is getting a passport replacement day before

@morpheusofthesea So there is a 2 meal package for $99 per person to buy in advance for Butcher Block and Teppanaki . I am in a solo cabin and so is my friend separately, so we each buy separate or will they auto charge for two? But it looks similar to deal that you posted on board ?

Trivial question but is the shampoo/conditioner/bodywash in cabins (not YC) decent whereas I dont need to bring?

Cruise sailing next Saturday so quickly approaching First time on MSC - Fantastica cabin, traveling sort of solo but with another friend in another cabin I really prefer to do things last minute.... will they offer restaurant deals/specials or excursion deals on board or is it really necessary to pre-purchase? Any other tips would be appreciated ?

Yep, we are on same cruise! I will try again in the next day or two but already emailed myself the eticket

Thanks. Its about 10 days out.

So I guess its worth it to prebuy a package?

I was looking on the website and it didnt show I had any drink package , but when I looked at the eticket , it shows the drink package

What about tipping for drinks , is that included?

When I go to check in to my cruise, there is an embarkation form with a download button - whenever I click it I get an error - anyone know about this? "There was an error processing your request. Please, try again later!"

Does MSC offer laundry specials mid cruise like other cruise lines so you can just book on board or is it better to purchase laundry package in advance?

Thanks. I guess my travel agent was wrong. I even sent an email trying to confirm with him: "So it is just a charge for one person. IE, you bid $100, it will be a charge only for $100 and not $200. Also, the name of the beverage package we have is called the "Easy Package". " I don't think its worth it to bid then. Especially since I already have the wifi/drink package that would not be refunded either

I asked my travel agent who called MSC and said this was not true, that you are only charged for one. "I finally got an answer from MSC in regards to the bid program. He confirmed that the bid is a one time payment, so we will not be charged the price for a second person. In terms of a refund for drinks/wifi if we get the yacht club, he said that was not possible. I hope this helps!"

First time sailing with MSC in 2 weeks... traveling solo and purchased a Deluxe Balacony 7 day, Seascape, Miami, with drink/wifi package at time of initial booking , I think BR3 Got the upgrade email, is anything in this worth it as I will be "paying twice" for the drink package??? Not sure how bidding works. Are the prices listed the prices I would pay? Also assuming when they send me "per person" they should know I am solo so it should only be charged once...

WIll they give you more than one at a time if you ask?

You first put your phone on airplane mode and then turn back on wifi and it only uses wifi, at least thats how it works with android

Whats the deal with bottled water in the cabins if you have drink package?

May I ask the difference between Fantistica and Bella?
