Captain Funtime

Took my last Royal cruise in April. Tired of all the $$$$$. Have a Celebrity in October and two MSC Seasides in 2018.

Recently on Empress. Only one specialty restaurant Chops. Ate there twice. They were offering 20% off every day around the ship. Piano player every night in Schooner bar.

Lawn Club is our fav. Tuscan is also very good

On a recent Empress cruise with the $7.95 charge we tried it twice. Both times it took over an hour. One order was not correct. Total fail. Total ripoff IMHO.

We cruised on MSC Divina the week after dry dock. Not a problem.

No longer Bimini Boat Yard. Now it is just Boatyard. We stayed at the Renaissance ($$$$$). Love the Boatyard [emoji41]

We always use Jiffy Jeff Transportation. Very reasonable and excellent service.

Sailed Empress a few weeks ago. They offered 10 drink cards if you don't want to buy an unlimited package. You can share the drink cards. Chops is the only specialty restaurant. They aggressively offered 20% off at Chops every night. Food in the MDR was good. They did offer lobster one night in the MDR. The $7.95 room service was a fail both times we tried it. Very slow and wrong items.

Do we want to consider cruising on MSC....I've heard nothing great about them. Are they competitively equivalent to carnival/norwegian or Princess/Celebrity?

 

Probably should ask in a new thread, but what the heck)

We cruised MSC Divina (we cruise Celebrity on a regular basis) and found their product to be great at a very reasonable price. An aft balcony cabin was less than $700 pp for a 7 night cruise.

Cruised Divina and liked it. Good value.

7 nights for less than $100/nt. In an aft balcony. The balcony was huge. [emoji41]

Just off of Empress. I went to the drill only to receive a letter later telling me I didn't attend. Second time this has happened [emoji854]

MSC will gladly take all of us who have had enough. MSC is a great cruise at a great price.

We just booked a second Seaside voyage before we experienced the first. Sailed Divina and enjoyed it. We had booked our first Seaside cruise before we cruised with MSC. Just off RCCL Empress. Too much nickel and diming. $7.95 now for room service ??

The MSC experience is a value.

I am over the Funships and Royal. Going forward it will be MSC and Celebrity.

Vote with your $$$

Try MSC. It is a special experience and the price is very competitive. So much NOT Carnival.

The cheese steak was a complete fail. $7.95 or not.

On Empress a week ago in a JS. Ate in Chops twice. Never more than half full and they were offering 20% off.

Tried it twice last week on Empress. Both experiences were fail. Took more than an hour, wrong and missing items. Not impressed.

Last week on Empress room service took over an hour and the offerings were not worth the wait.
