Is it me or does MSC's website completely suck?
mets07 replied to Warm-Water Diver's topic in MSC Cruises
Photo would not work for me at all in app on phone (Samsung). Camera started and showed my face but would not take the photo. Worked for me on the computer but whew what a photo! Ha. I was able to enter the credit card info on the app. Lots of 500 errors when using the computer. It will all work out, but not a positive experience. -
Royal does these islands (other than Nevis - go there on excursion from St. Kitts if desired) ... from New Jersey, Florida, and San Juan. Other beautiful islands as mentioned include ABC (Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao). Use "Find a Cruise" option on Royal webiste.

Hi, are all the bars/restaurants mentioned (especially those in hotels/resorts) available to the public i.e. non-guests of the hotels? Thanks.

You are funny. It gets in your blood if you start going to games as a little kid (a little girl in my case). Beautiful summer nights, keeping score, the food, the cheering, being fanatical about your team, all that good stuff. And in my case, we had an added personal connection to a professional player. I love baseball so much. I am very sad when the season and post-season ends. ⚾

LIVE from Mariner Bermuda & Perfect Day, Oct 13, 2023

We have been to Bermuda a bunch of times on both Royal and NCL. Love it. In fact, we are going to try a MSC cruise to Bermuda in the near future. Enjoy!! -
Height or age limits for water slides?
mets07 replied to Islandattorney's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Our 4 year old granddaughter could do everything in Splashaway Bay. Our 2 year old granddaughter and anyone non-potty trained could only use the baby area which has a little slide. Hope that helps. -
On our last two Royal cruises, our stateroom attendants left the upgraded toiletries. We were not in special staterooms and did not request them. Interesting. I always bring my own conditioner in any case.
-
If you have chosen early or late dining (not given any other choice), can you request a table for 2? Is the dinner buffet open the same hours for all passengers? Thank you.

Hey, I am jealous you got the correct shrimp, @Jimbo ..... now I am really wondering what happened. They ran out when I was there? Strange. I probably should have asked.
-
Agree. Those were the ones we used to get in Chops. This was not the case on Jewel in September. They were perhaps slightly bigger/better than the MDR shrimp cocktail. Not like pictured above. Hopefully a one-off. I don't know.
-
Amen. We even wrote that on our last survey. Also I used to love the "colossal" shrimp at Chops in the shrimp cocktail. They are no longer very big or as good based on our most recent experience.

Splashaway bay height requirement
mets07 replied to Magster1987's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I did not notice any height checking on Oasis in Splashaway Bay. I think the primary thing is toilet-trained vs. not. Children obviously little toddlers and not potty-trained are asked to use the other area specified for them. For us on Coco Cay, we had a 6, 4, and 2 year old with us and just used the pirate ship and other no-charge areas that allowed them as appropriate. -
Text messaging with other passengers without Wi-Fi
mets07 replied to ping1's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Only when you are on the ship. I think it is only by clicking on the 3 dots in the upper right while in the app. I don't recall any obvious "Messages" option. -
Text messaging with other passengers without Wi-Fi
mets07 replied to ping1's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Go into airplane mode and turn on the wifi --- select your ship Free wi-fi. Open the Royal app and go to messages and invite others (they need to accept). Then you can communicate. Just keep checking the app periodically after that to see if you have messages. -
Text messaging with other passengers without Wi-Fi
mets07 replied to ping1's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Yes, and yes. Please note that there are no automatic notifications that you have a message, so you need to open the app and check frequently. You will see a little red indicator in the top right of the Royal app screen if you have a message To use the function, you have to identify (first and last name) other passengers and invite them to communicate with you. You do this in the app. -
Glad @Jimbo you and your wife are feeling better. We survived the same cruise without incident. I have only had Covid once, about 9 mos. ago. I only took the test because my daughter-in-law was pregnant. It was a mild case to the extent I was able to continue my daily run and I just stayed away from everyone until negative. I took no medication, but I have no health issues (knock, knock, knock on wood). Best to all. PS We have the Carnival Venezia scheduled for February as I have mentioned before. Will try to squeeze in a cruise if we can before then. Best to all.

The entire departure for Jewel was long at Bayonne today. Everyone had to show their passports (vs. facial recognition), however they also pointed cameras at everyone's faces. Not sure why this was going on vs. normal quick facial recognition process. @Jimbo hope you guys feel better soon. I did not hear one word of Covid on ship until I saw your report on Cruise Critic.
