Hi, no I chose it (Fantastica). How does being an adjoining cabin affect it? Are those balconies smaller?

Worst balcony ever- probably 40 Sq ft in an aft cabin on 14th deck (room 14215). We could not even turn our chairs to face the boat's wake, instead we sat at 45 degree angles. Balcony was about 12 x 3 plus some inches...had to remove the small table just to get to the further seat. Meals inconsistent, a couple good ones but mostly meh; desserts small and ordinary; lido/buffet deck offerings were mediocre. Entertainment was equally ordinary, from shows to individual performers around the ship and there weren't enough of them. IMO, this line offers nothing over Carnival or Royal and the balcony is a deal-breaker for me. Thank you, Michael

Thank you all. Michael

Thank you.

Well, we haven't completely left, just seeing what else is available. But...what you said played a role in it.

CTP, I feel the same way about Carnival...might be time to move on so I thought I would try MSC. Funny, I am also stumbling a little with MSC but I suppose I did with Carnival 10 years ago, too. Michael Scott Scranton, PA

I'll see your smirk 😏 and raise you one...😏😏

Long time Carnival sailor looking to try something new so I booked an MSC cruise in March. I'm having trouble finding "the rules" so I thought I would ask. Am I allowed to bring ant liquor/beer on board an MSC ship? What about returning to the ship from a port, can I bring any liquor/beer on board then? Last thing, is there a cigar smoking area on board a MSC (Mervaglia, actually) ship? Thank you, Michael Scott Scranton, PA
