How has the dress code been on formal nights?

Firstly, would like to thank you for all of your postings.   How many “elegant” nights are there?  Also, are many people getting fancy?   DH trying to decide if he should bring a suit.   The last few celebrity cruises, we noticed more gentlemen not wearing suits and ties.   Thank you!

I would post photos but don’t know how. Sorry

Just got off the Seaside yesterday. We were in cabin 15199.

There is total shade (which we were totally unaware of at booking)

Also. Please be aware that the noise level from Deck 16 is VERY LOUD!!!

ALL. NIGHT LONG!! Balcony sliders rattled as well. Complained to Guest Services. They were very pleasant but said they could not move us as the ship was full. They said other passengers on the Deck 15 were complaining as well.

I called MSC directly and purchased the Trio Specialty package which was advertised for $69p.p

Meant to type October 6.

So are my DH and I....!!!!!!!

Paul,

 

As always, enjoying your blogs. Appreciate the time you invest while on vacation! Continue to enjoy the rest of the cruise.

We will be on the Equinox 10/6. I look forward to reading your blog each day! Thank you for taking time away from your vacation.

We also received 10% discount Military discount on our Balcony cabin

We are sailing in September with the same itinerary. Thanks for sharing! :)

Sailing October 6th with same itinerary. Much appreciate any input

:(. Thank you

My status with Celebrity entitles me to a free upgrade by 1 category.So, my question is: if I book the highest inside category will my 1 category upgrade be to the cheapest priced outside? If so, what happens if all the outsides are sold out?

Does anybody know if the free upgrade is subject to availability only ?

Hi Gail,

Thinking of booking a cruise? Come join Paul and I in October!!!!!

We are booked on the Seaside in February 2018. Just wondering if anyone knows if their private island in the Bahamas will be completed by then. My TA does not have an answer.

Looking for anyone that has done any MSC cruises with kids. We are looking at the Seaside so I know no one has traveled on it yet. However, is there enough on the cruise to keep a 6 and 10 year old entertained? MSC seems like a classier line than say Royal or Norwegian. Just didn't know if they embraced kids or if they were an afterthought? Thanks!!

Booked Seaside cruise in February. My son, daughter in law and twin 4 year old girls will be joining us. Looking forward to seeing the activities they have for the girls. My TA said they will definitely NOT be bored

Is there a roll call for this cruise? I can't seem to find it' date=' if there is one.

 

Besides the dining, are there any other things we should check out. We are fairly active early 60's.[/quote']

 

 

Yes, there is a Roll Call. My husband and I are also sailing on Oct 6!! Looking forward to meeting everyone

Thank you for your quick response!!

One of our promo packages was the Classic Drink Package. Does anyone have any input as to if it is worth upgrading to the Premium package? My husband is a martini drinker if that helps. Thank you!!

We have the classic drink package. Can you use it in all the bars, including Martini and Slush?

We went to Messina 2 years ago. Other than the Clock Tower, there is nothing to do in Messina. We took the tour to Mt. Edna. NOT TO BE MISSED! It was 86 degrees in Messina. When we got to the top of Mt. Etna it was snowing. Quite a difference in temp. Good luck and don't forget to bring something warm if you decide to take the tour.
