Thanks, I'll have to look into pricing for MSC. I never think of that line when looking at cruises. One of their ships was in Boston this morning and the local news was at the port reporting about tourism and what the ship had to offer.

Hello! We've only cruised on RCCL the past 20 years or so and are now looking into other lines because the suite pricing is crazy high. We love the Oasis suite deck and eating at Coastal Kitchen and I'm hoping there is another ship that offers the same feel. I've looked at a few of the newer Carnival ships and watched a few videos of Loft 19. It looks as if the only shaded areas are the cabanas which are only available for an additional charge. Is that correct? I guess I'm looking for opinions on other lines like NCL or Princess and if we'd be disappointed in their suite offerings. My husband prefers the larger ships since he has a hard time just sitting around. We thought the Oasis was perfect for us because it was nice to be able to escape the crowds by the pools and main dining room/Windjammer by eating at Coastal and not worrying about having to find a lounger outside.

I'm not seeing flavored seltzer water listed. Are all the machines like this? Bummer, I bought the refresher package just for the flavored waters that were available a few years ago. Am I overlooking it? My eyes aren't what they used to be!
