Weird to find an MSC review in an NCL forum. We, too usually cruise NCL but after our Feb. 2023 cruise to Bermuda on the Getaway which turned into a cruise to nowhere we decided to look elsewhere and are booked in October on the Miraviglia. We would really like to try the Prima class. We still have one Cruise Next left plus the $200 FCC from that Feb. cruise. We are now all booked up through Feb. 2025 on several other cruise lines and hope that the 2025 prices of the Prima and/or Viva come down.

You might also try to go with an advocate agency like the Elliott Org. https://www.elliott.org/

Your Alaska cancellation is big news for all the you tubers. Looking forward to the rest of your review.

Enjoying your review.

On an excursion in Aruba last year we decided on doing a UTV because we wanted to try it once in our lifetime and we had enough OBC to pay for it. They made us sign waivers excluding them from any damages or Injuries that might occur. We had to ride on the city streets for about 2p minutes before we got to the course. We were suppose to do 25 to 30 mph but the caravan was doing 40 to 50. Should have realized what was to come. I'm glad we returned in one piece.

I also think it depends on how close you are to your sailing for internet. When we booked our October 11 day sailing last year the internet was $114 per device. When I check now it is $174 per device .

Now that is a new one for me. Very cute. After 7 days on my 21 day Pride cruise in May I asked my steward to stop making the towel animals because it was taking up too much room. He seemed pretty happy to comply.

Some of the private excursion vendors ask you to pay cash for balance after you pay deposit on cc. I have to bring $100 plus deposit for jeep in Cozumel and $60 plus deposit for golf carts in Costa Maya plus tips for all my excursions.

Our FB group on the Miraviglia is having a Halloween party and dressing up. Not sure if it's through MSC or not.

Still not sure about some excursions I want to take for my October cruise. May want to use OBC. If I wait to get onboard will it cost more?

I just booked the Liberty for next September and the Odyssey for Feb. 2025 and got great balcony group rates through my TA. Cheaper than MSC or Carnival.

Following. Hope there are no more stumbles and you are on your way to a great cruise.

After trying several times I gave up. Then when I checked my email I got one from Carnival that said there was something in my cart. So I went through the process from the email and it went through with no trouble.

Am trying to book an excursion today before the Carnival website goes down. I enter my cc details but the "place order" stays gray and won't process. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Jamie. We are on with you on the October 25th cruise but always like to read a good review by a great review teller like you. Ellie.

I've just booked two cruises on Royal Caribbean with our TA who gets group rates. They are at least $200 pp less than booking directly. One is a 5 day with $200 deposit for 2 and the second is a 7 day with $500 deposit for two. Carnival's prices now are getting outrageous. Some of their comparable sailings are more money than Princess, Royal and NCL. We have three more booked but unless their prices become competitive I'm not sure we will book any more with Carnival.

Best trail mix ever. No sunflower seeds and plenty of M & M's. Yum.

When we did our B2B on the Pride in May we met in the theater around 7:30am and they gave us our new cards. Then we had to walk out to the baggage claim, then back on the ship where they took our picture again and swiped our new cards. We will also be on a Journey cruise on Venezia in February and hope the weather is good. Please post everything you can as we will be happily following.

Now that you showed jacket man"s face and card jacket, he hosted the slot pull on our Western Europe Pride cruise in May.

I'm sorry if I didn't know the right term to use being I will have my first MSC cruise in October. As I said I heard the fee was NOT applicable to the choices that are on every day.

Looking forward to your review. It would be awesome if they did one out of NY.

Someone mentioned that the $5 charge was not applicable if you ordered the second entree from the "everyday" choices. Sometimes we like to try new dishes and if we do not care for them we can order something else. I know this sounds wasteful. Maybe if we see something we would like to try only one of us will order it and the other order a dish we know we like and share.

Were you able to book air with fly to fun? Nothing comes up for another cruise we have booked for April, 2024.

In Bonaire we rented golf carts. It is only 2 blocks from the port. It was alot of fun. https://www.bonairecruisers.com/

On the other social media site many are staying at the Holiday Inn Express in Times Square. They got a good rate of $174.48 for a king room https://www.ihg.com/holidayinnexpress/hotels/us/en/new-york/nycws/hoteldetail?fromRedirect=true&qSrt=sBR&qIta=99801505&icdv=99801505&qSlH=NYCWS&qGrpCd=CAR&setPMCookies=true&qSHBrC=EX&qDest=343 West 39th Street%2C New York%2C NY%2C US&srb_u=1
