I have a question regarding the midnight check in 45 days prior to the cruise. Is it “ship time” or “departure port” time? I live in EST, am leaving from Seattle, PST, but at the 45 day mark the ship will be somewhere in Australia. So will our check in time be PST or Australian time based on where the ship is that day? Thanks!

What is the latest regarding Skagway for the 2024 season?

What number did you call to do that, was it the main number?

Anyone have photos of 8205 on Meraviglia?

Does anyone have any recent dinner menus for the MDR on Mera?

Sailing from Port Canaveral at the end of November, and my original embarkation time was 3:00pm. I just looked at the app again, and now it says “your embarkation time will be announced soon” How soon can we expect? I’m trying to arrange transportation from the airport. my cabin has still not been assigned, although I expect that to happen way closer to sailing

Oh I’m so sorry, I definitely didn’t know that to be the case. I wouldn’t want to hinder upon anyone else’s sleeping, so maybe I’ll just sleep outside on the balcony 🤣 I just live in southwest Florida where the air is hot and still, and I’m looking forward to living in the breeze !

Wow! This is a blast from the past. The Grandeur was my first ever cruise when I was 15. This was in 2004. I thought I had read that this ship was retired? I was heartbroken when I saw that. But anyway, if it’s not, it’s obviously been a long time since I’ve been on it and I was young, but it was beautiful and holds a dear place in my heart.

I paid this for a 5 day 4 night on the Meraviglia out of cape canaveral

I plan to buy a bucket of beer and carry it around with me 🤣

I will be cruising solo on a quick 4 nighter on the Meraviglia out of Cape Canaveral. I was wondering if there are any “secrets” or tips to know about. for example, where is a nice quiet spot to read a book? what bars/ restaurants have the coolest spots to sit and maybe some good chicken wings? I will not be on yacht club and specifically looking for spots not in yacht club thanks!

Such a good problem to have! Definitely can be used on excursions or the casino. Maybe you can buy a cute child a gelato 😊

How strict are the scheduled embarkation times at this port? My flight comes in very early morning and I was given a 3pm embarkation time.

I mean, it would be more than double than what I paid for a balcony. And this was just a “quick inexpensive getaway” for me and that would totally negate that. So yes, going to pass.

Agreed. I wish there was an option to just upgrade for one person, considering that’s what I am. Oh well

4 nights

So this is my problem. I am only one person in the room, and it is trying to have me bid for two people. That’s just not worth it

Also, I was assigned a 3pm embarkation time for my current booking. Would yacht club give me The option to board right at 11am?

Even though it is not listed there as one of the perks? Also, which drink package does it include? could you please tell me the added benefits aside from what is listed there? Thank you

I have booked a Bella balcony on Meraviglia for November, and received the email for possible upgrades. Honestly, none of these look appealing to me. Specifically, the yacht club interior. I looked at the perks and it included “free Wi-Fi” which I have already purchased a Wi-Fi package. Also, I always was under the impression that yacht club included free drinks, which I am not seeing as one of the perks listed. So I’m not sure honestly what I would be getting by going from a balcony to an interior aside from having access to different areas of the ship. I will add the email below. also, with the balcony aurora, it does not include the drink package. So what exactly does it get me? A better balcony room and option for breakfast delivery? im brand new to this line so if I’m missing something please let me know 😊 I’m thinking I will not place bids for any of these offers. oh! And one more question. Are these rates based on double occupancy? I am just one person in the state room, so will my bid be charged twice based on double occupancy?

Hello! So I understand that the yacht club on this line is the highest level experience. I will be flying in from NY before I go home to Naples just for a quick 4 nighter cruise. I’m looking to read my book in different places, listen to music, watch shows, eat and look at the sea. I’m not a “fancy” person and I am very happy with the little things. I am seeing a lot of comments on here basically saying that if you take the Bella, it is not guaranteed to be a great cruise. I’m a firm believer that a cruise is what you make of it, and it’s hard to have a bad time on a cruise. Based on the things I listed above, is there anything that I am missing by getting the Bella experience as opposed to a higher up? Thank you

Bella

Thank you! Yes, and I’m flying into Orlando after a week in NY 😊

I’ll be sailing on the Meraviglia out of Port Canaveral. I just logged in and see they gave me an embarkation time of 3pm. My flight is landing at 10:10am. Will they allow me To board early, or will I have to sit there for several hours?

Thank you! I’m looking forward to being a solo cruiser. It’s my mental health retreat 😊
