I have an upcoming cruise which is comped.  I just have to pay the port charges and fees.  Can I take a policy out for $500pp solely for the medical in case of an expensive medical emergency?   Running this back in reverse, (I'm learning here)  Can I take out a policy for $500pp just for the medical even if my trip was expensive in which I know I would absorb the trip cost in case of cancellation?

So sorry @KyleClark, I didn’t pick up on that, I see now that you specifically asked about November 2025 forward, I was too hasty and just thought you were asking about World America cruises showing up. 

No worries,  thx for the effort!

Saw choices on MSC website a couple days ago. Add the following filters - under ships World America and under ports Miami - they are there. 

Thanks, I tried that but their aren't sailings past Oct 2025.

Does anyone know when the Nov 2025 World America schedule will be announced?  Thx...

Currently on Magnifica, which has only one specialty restaurant. We did get the complimentary meal.

Did you pre-book before the cruise or just walk in?

Specifically, the 5 + 5 discount, $50 OBC (diamond) and the Specialty restaurant dinner?  (booking 11 months out).

Does RCCL offer pre-cruise laundry packages?  Ty...

Maybe The DougOut or some variation of that screen name?

Ah, yes... I believe you are right, but nothing turned up on a search..

It was some time ago before COVID, there was an entertaining couple and he would do live reviews from the ship and live reviews of their cruise pre-stays.  A lot of it was entertaining as a lot of it was about going to bars and reporting about it with good nature and humor.  I think she may of had a kid..  Does it ring a bell? 

Particularly on the Encore...  Thanks.

Your experience isn't the  experience I had. I am on the last night of 5 night GEM cruise. The only thing I agree with you is their are long lines for bar service. 

Has anyone transferred their reservation to their TA?  Did MSC handle it well?  Were their any hiccups?  Thanks...

6 people how many bags? May as well just take two ubers and be done with it. Its 20-30 minute drive. 

My experience with Uber from the port has been mixed.  When it's congested I have been cancelled or just waited an extremely long time.  That is why I am asking about a shuttle. In my mind it seems pretty seamless if we walk outside with our luggage and get on a shuttle.  However I don't know, I havn't done it before.

Looking for a shuttle service for 6 people to Miami airport for a 1pm flight.  Any good reccomendations?   Thx...

Hi all,

My wife'a niece from South America had to cancel her trip here next week as she hurt her back picking up her baby.  That got me thinking....  What would happen if that happened in the U.S.?   That is why I am asking about trip insurance for visitors to the United States..  Any help?  Thank you...

I'm curious with the national emergency in Ecuador due to the cartels lashing out at the new preisdent if the Sun is stopping there this Friday?

Does NCL serve canned soda?

yes thats how it works

So, is the regular promotion $150 for $300?

Am I missing something here?  I buy a $500 cruisenext certificate for $250?  I've been away from NCL for awhile, is this the way this promotion works?

What dates did you specify when you purchased the policy?

The end date was disembarkation day.

Wife got sick on our cruise and wanted to go to an urgent care when we got off the ship.  We live close to the port, so this was confusing for me since it felt like our vacation ended once we stepped off the ship.  Is that generally how trip insurance works?  Does anyone have any experiences with this type of situation?

Thanks,

Kyle

They also ran out of half and half for coffee.

Say it ain’t so!  I’m hearing in recent reviews that there is a lack of ketchup on board!  We will bringing our own just in case.  We are “ketchupholics”. Any suggestions on how to get this on board?  Are packets or bottles easier to bring on board?  Will they confiscate the contraband or are sealed items like ketchup allowed?

Bring chocolate ice cream, they ran out of that on this current cruise.
