Unfortunately, as long as people are still paying these prices, they will keep charging them.

Year ago, they used to because not everyone was able to book online, thus why I ask.

We are looking to book an excursion on an upcoming cruise, but it is showing sold out online. Does RC still hold back some to book while on board?

This was found on the NCL site yesterday, but has since been taken down.

We were on Odyssey for Christmas and 100% agree. The WJ was one of the best ones that I have experienced on any ship.

If anyone is tracking these.... J.J. Hajeong is on Ovation now. Bogdan Leonvych is on Odyssey. (This guy is horrible!)

We just got off Odyssey as well and absolutely loved it. Our only complaint really was the entertainment. They had karaoke all over the place in several venues, which does not appeal to us personally, while many love it. I feel the Music Hall should have had more live music in the evening, instead of only late night. The Music Hall constantly had games, trivia style things and karaoke. And this was the mildest Schooners bar that I have ever seen. On all other ships, its loud and fun and packed. Not on this cruise. Aside from that, this ship was clean, beautiful and amazing. Food was great and so was the service. It is our new favorite! Can't wait to sail on her again!

The main casino on Deck 7 is non-smoking. They have a small room on Deck 8, with about 18 slot machine, next to the Sports Bar, where smokers can play. No table games though. There are also quite a few slots in the Sports Bar. There are several different arcade games, along with the virtual machines. Seashore has more arcade games than Seaside.

Was on Seaside twice last month and booked Bella Interior Guarantee and was upgraded to a balcony. Going on Seashore next month, booked Bella Interior Guarantee again, and was upgrade to a balcony once again.

Historically, when a CFO becomes CEO, you see many changes for the worse, as they are only looking at the bottom line. Great for short term profit, but poor for long term business models. Someone who has a financial AND operations background, is a better fit in my opinion.

Agreed! Much better than what Jason Liberty is doing over at RC.

How long after you disembark does it take to receive the survey from MSC? We got off a week ago and still have not seen one. I would like to fill this out while it is fresh in my mind. Thank you.

No, not really. The only BIG crowds that I experienced were a few times in the buffet and the atrium parties. Aside from that, it wasn't bad at all.

I just returned from 3 nights on the MSC Seaside. This was my first time sailing with MSC and overall I have to say that I was extremely impressed, especially for the price. I felt the entertainment was great, the food was good and the service was great as well. There was plenty to do and always seemed to have something going on. Cheaper than Carnival, but a way better experience in my opinion. I went into this with low expectations, but they far exceeded them. I will definitely sail MSC again. Just wanted to share my opinion with everyone.

We were really wanting to sail on Beyond, but the dates do not work for us, but the Apex dates do. How do these two compare? Food, Service, Shows, etc. Would we be just as happy on Apex? Any help and opinions are appreciated. Thank you.
