  1. Just finished two back to back SOLO sailings. MSC Seaside, MSC Seascape. Four sailings total in two months. And about to sail SOLO on the MSC Seashore.
  2. This e-mail notice was sent out on 9/13/2023 Brightline Orlando Station opens on Friday, September 22, 2023. Now you’re closer than ever to all the best of Florida – from Orlando’s attractions to South Florida's beaches and cruise ports.
  3. Thank you brightline. Another cancellation. What's the tru story. Is iy safe? Are the trabks not supporting high speed?
  4. We had BL booked for our cruise. Now we had to switch to Amtrak. ORL to MIA is half the BL economy (smart fare).. BL could of got us there morning of cruise day. But no BL means 5 hours on Amtrak compared to 4 hours on BL. We have two weeks on a ship. Maybe BL will FINALLY be CERTIFIED to operate by the time we return to Miami. Otherwise we have Amtrak as a backup, if need be
  5. Today's mail contained my Passport. My non-expedited applicant only took 20 weeks. Basically 5 months to get this today. I never got an e-mail from them. I had to check nearly everyday. My last check it had gone from "in process" to "Shipped" It went onto say my supporting docs will be sent seperately and I should receive them within two weeks. Guess now it is time to start packing for my upcoming cruise.
  6. Saw a couple reports on a couple major news networks a week or so ago. Members of Congress are NO LONGER able to assist in pushing the applications forward. I have my other docs as backup if need be. I have another b2b in OCT and and another b2b in NOV. So i should have the passport by those. So if need be, I have plan B that will get me on the ship. That is birth cert and state ID.
  7. So glad I still have a few weeks before my cruise. Checked my status today. Still says "in process". It is nearing five months now. Someone should announce coffee break is over. DMV is a walk in the park compared to this.
  8. I can remember when I got my first passport. Lived near Chicago. Walked into the local office in the morning. A couple hours lated, walked out with a brand new passport book. Times have changed.
  9. My personal experience with the US Passport office. My passport had expired a few years ago. Been cruising with just my BC and photo ID. Deided to apply for a passport for a repositioning sailing. Checked my status on the passport website. Still says "in process" after 4 months now. I know about the delays but come on. No I did not pay the extra for expedidated. I figured applying 6 months before should be enough time. Now I wonder
  10. Is there a catergory thread for MSC Seascape. I can't seem to find it in the MSC ship pull down tab. Maybe I just keep missing it or I'm spelling it wrong?
  11. My last cruise I prepaid the 20 item deal. On board I got a second 20 item deal. The price onboard was about the same as prepay. I was on seven b2b's on that cruise and brought five suitcases. These are just a few of the hats from one suitcases. The other suitcases had not only formal wear but many costumes for the many parties and theme nights.
  12. Can anyone direct me to a website that tells what special events or bookings are on the Seascape I ask because our cruise is five months away. Looking at multiple travel booking sites, I see our ship is almost SOLD OUT already. Looks like my sailing will at at 100%, and it is still five months away
  13. We decided to do the Brightline from Orlando to Miami. Then walk a couple blocks to he FREE prople moner and ride to the Brickell Station. Where we can transfer to the FREE Coral Way Trolley, that will drop us off at the cruise port. Plus we will do it the day of sailing. Trains run about every hour so give us time for breakfast in Orlando and lunch on the ship
  14. From the videos I have seen. And posts on the Wet Lizard facebook. They have a wooden structure. Next to the water. Wheelchair access in that bar and food area I will look up the excursion area you mentioned. And sadly transportation is always a problem for disabled folks like me. You cannot just lift a 100 pound wheelchair. Fold it up and slide it into a car or van
  15. Now that I am in a wheelchair. And traveling solo. My choices of shore excursions are very limited. I have a couple sailings upcoming that have stops in Belize. My plan, my first time is just hangout in the village. I heard the Wet Lizard is a good place for an adult beverage or two. Looking for other ideas. Any shops I should explore. Next time I might look at accessible excursions. But this first time just want to hang around the waterfront. Toss back a couple cold ones. Snap some pictures. And maybe discover that one item I must bring back to America with me
  16. MSC updated their website. As of 11/16/2022. No more covid tests. No more proof of vaccine shots. This goes to most cruises from a US port 💖 💖 💖💖 💖
  17. Birth Certificates are fine. Make sure they are certified. Helps if they have the raised seal. Just no photo copies. As to the web check in. Click on ID for the kids. Type in about 7 zeros. Then make the expiration in 2024. This should allow you to do the web check in. They can fix it at the terminal if they need to
  18. Anyone done Cozumel on Christmas day. Our ship docks DEC 25, 2022. Wondering what to do around port area. We will be just walking around a few hours. What might be open. Any ideas are welcome
  19. I do. Offered to send it. They said does not matter. It is 80 for 140 value now. I know not to buy this again. But I will continue to sail on MSC anyway
  20. When I booked the fun pass it clearly was advertised as UNLIMITED. We booked a 12 night so the $80 unlimited pass I thought would be great way to do something other than drinking and eating. My cruise sails in a few weeks. Now I see the "unlimited" advertism has been changed $140 value for $80. No longer unlimited. I called MSC to see about the change. Asked about a refund since it is no longer unlimited. MSC response was NO REFUNDS. And NO UNLIMITED. This puts a sour taste on the deal. Guess MSC has my money so they do not have to honor what they sold me. It is not like a port change change due to hurricane or something. This is an onboard activity tat will still happen. Just not the value they advertised. NO LONGER UNLIMITED
  21. Has anyone heard when or if MSC will partner with the myVegas APP again? MSC offered discounts, up to 30% off. And FREE cruises. Now the only cruise line I can find on myVagas is RCCL
  22. I guess if it's the same as Divina, then I'm good. Done multiple B2B's on Divina already. Next month I have multiple B2B's on the Mera
  23. Thanks for the heads up on the FP. I have a 12 day cruise. Thought the unlimited play for 80 was good. But the countdown of credits I will likely play all my credits now in a couple days. So the advertised "unlimited" is very misleading.
  24. I do have mobility issues. As to a scooter. You must file with "special needs". Also a scooter or wheelchair will most often NOT fit in a regular cabin. And the mobility device MUST FIT in the doorway. Special needs needs the measurements of your device. And if the device is not approved by special needs for the cabin you booked, MSCC will not allow you to use the device. The device MUST be stored in your cabin. Not in the hallway. >> I share this from past experiences dealing with MSC and my personal mobility issue
  25. I sometimes like to relax in my cabin during the heat of the day or when I might get overheated. A TV is noise I like in my cabin as I relax and prepare to go back to party or something
