Tips to book our first European cruise.
Essiesmom replied to KyleClark's topic in Ask a Cruise Question
It was far less than that when we tendered on Silhouette. And we docked on Nieuw Amsterdam. Tender at Belize is far longer than Kotor. EM -
This seems to be routine with inside gty. Happened to me with Fantastica I side gty.

Family Group with some with Any Time Dinning & Others Fixed Time - HELP
Essiesmom replied to sjhanksaz's topic in MSC Cruises
See this in the boarding day activity sheet…dark print at the bottom
-
I believe there are some YC cabins outside the YC complex on the Fantasia class (Divina). The window suites forward on deck 12. EM

What has been showing in your cruise profile? Unless you are Diamond, what it says on your ticket has no influence on boarding process. If the correct status is t shown on your cruise card, see guest services onboard. EM

I think I e read on some other boards, maybe the Celebrity that the OP mentioned…I think in Greece. EM

It may depend on the ports/country. EM

Without a map…but having lived in NYC (but not for many years) take PATH or Amtrak into NY, then subway to whatever station is closest to ferry to Red Hook. Pack light. EM
-
Did you look at the video linked above? Apparently that’s all that is out there. I thought it was pretty thorough. EM

Thanks for coming back and telling us how it went. EM

Fill in your zip code…five digit only, then click on ‘find’ and it will fill in. EM

Policy Change: No More Booking Single Supplements on Any Cabin?
Essiesmom replied to BoundForSea's topic in MSC Cruises
There is already an OUTRAGEOUS thread about this. It’s halfway down the second page. You can still book as a single. I just did it for Dec. it depends on when the cruise is. If it is high season for families it’s a no go. But I was able to do it in April for August, and last week for early December. But when trying for a last minute cruise, it was no go. EM -
Since we don’t know what you are looking at… view? The ships/lines are very different. EM

Best and Worst Ships for wheelchair users
Essiesmom replied to gptraveler's topic in Disabled Cruise Travel
The first thing you need to consider is finding an accessible cabin which holds three. Cruise lines seem to think only couples need HC cabins. I know MSC has some with a bunk for the third, and some connecting cabins. EM -
When you go to the MDR they will ask your cabin number and that will tell them you are Aurea. I didn’t use the spa, so I don’t know. There was not anyone checking when I went up to Top 19, but it was raining lightly, one out except a man from YC who came out to smoke under the overhang at the Aurea bar. EM

On Seaside last month . Baby time is when you can stay and play. Baby care is when you can drop off the child. EM
-
Your card and paperwork will still say Fantastica but you will get the Aurea benefits. EM

How far out can you expect to see dining packages on the app/website?
Essiesmom replied to mcoler181's topic in MSC Cruises
I’m still not getting it in the app, Fantastica, but it might have been possible on the website last night. EM -
Back to back cruises on different cruise lines
Essiesmom replied to Tn1387's topic in Ask a Cruise Question
If it is too long to walk, just get a taxi. Don’t be in a hurry to get off the first ship, as check in for the second probably won’t start until 1030-1100. Have a leisurely breakfast, debark with the last guests and make your way to the next ship. EM -
You will already have transited the canal, but using the new locks. It appears several of the tours take you to the visitors center at Miraflores Locks, but this one actually takes you through the original locks. If that is what you want, go for it. EM

So did I. EM

First of all, you have to know that Essie is a small doll that started to travel with me 20 years ago. She acquired a name and personality, has been on probably 50 cruises, several times to Europe. She has stayed home the last four cruises, since my sister passed. But my roll call for my Dec. cruise has insisted she come, so yes, she does. EM
-
How long has it been since you/she have had contact with the deadbeat dad? How did she come to be in your care? Maybe you should get the court to give you custody and permission to take her out of the country. EM
-
Ask on the West Coast Departures board. EM
-
Give it an hour to deplane and retrieve luggage, about 90 minutes after to get on/in your transportation…do the math. EM
