There is a shuttle from the pier to the train station for 5 Euro each way… its a 12 min walk from the Shipp to the train station.

Thx

I see it on the app now. My problem is that we only are 2 days flexibele. The other 3 land days are fully planned. So don’t know if we can pre-book this.

Divina has the same Infinity pool in the back.

Fantasia not?

The train ride is 12 Euros with bus and metro included. The Name is BIRG ticket. One way train ticket is 4.50 Euro. By train you are faster in Rome than by bus or car.

Train looks good but it is a walk from port.

There is a bar at Grand Dutch Cafe on K'dam that serves beer, wine and, yes, cocktails.

They refused last summer.

When i explain it was the case in Rotterdam they said they dont serve cocktails in the Dutch Cafe on the Koningsdam.

Not likely. The Dutch Café has always been additional cost for coffee and cocktails. It's probably just a clarification.

No cocktails on the Koningsdam there.

But yeah, it was not a speciality restaurant and it is now there listed.

Incorrect information?? On Facebook?? No!!

 

 

There is also a picture from the new Dutch HAL magazine where the Dutch cafe is now listed as “additional cost”

This was not the case before.

So maybe there are changes coming….

Perhaps they are confused with food and beverage.  The food has always been complimentary, but we've always paid for beverages.  

That was what i was thinking.

But its now on the Dutch site under restaurants with additional cost.

I hope its not the case!

Love the Bosche Bol.

I read on a Dutch facebookgroup that the food in the Dutch Cafe now have a additional cost.

The food was complementary.

Is there someone who knows more about  this?

Great! I am embarking this week.

Just received the email that the bid was unsuccessful… bummer.

we know someone that bid lower than us and got upgraded… 

Its the total value.

Maybe they paid more for the cabin or other stuff.

So far, 2 Fantasia class ships (Splendida & Divina) in 2 different regions (Europe & US)  introducing ‘My Choice’ dining for Fantastica bookings. 

I have since i updated the app also my choice for our fantastica booking on the Fantasia this summer.

It depends on your cruise and port.

If there are not many guests embarking it is a in person muster drill. If it is a large embarking port it is a drill with video.

Maybe someone can help because MSC site is not helpful.

 

Does Easy Package have frozen?

 

Does Alcohol-Free and Minors Package have frozen non alcohol versions?

 

I am asking because my cruise is only three dollars more from Alcohol Free and Easy packages. Even though I do not drink any traditional alcohol drinks but a Frozen drink with alcohol once in a while is worth $3 per day.

The pina colada was always frozen in easy package.

Anyone know if the pina colada and strawberry daiquiris are frozen?  TIA

It is frozen.

Arctic Crossings are always higher priced than a typical Europe to Florida crossing.

Thank you.

Good to know.

This was just released as Jewels rerouting instead of going to Israel.  The price will only go up.

 

We are booked in a balcony.  Our flights won’t be as cheap but we are expecting this to be a great cruise as long as Icelands volcanos settle down.  

I doubt if I take a balcony for 2000 each or a inside room.

I'd say it's a very good price.  I did not expect the gratuities to be included.

Thank you!

The flights are also not very expensive (around 500 euro's pro person back to Amsterdam).

So really consider to book this cruise.

If the per person booking price for an inside cabin (includes ALL taxes and fees) is €1,500, I would say that is a very good price for this cruise.

Included taxes. Exclude Gratuity.
