Mikesa1721 Posted August 27, 2014 Author #251 Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) Decided to try a speed test on Divina's network and I must say, the download speed is quite impressive for a cruise ship: Edited August 27, 2014 by Mikesa1721 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatka Posted August 27, 2014 #252 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Airfare is not a problem, DH does not like to to fly since one very scary flight. We only fly when there are no other options avail for example to Europe. This will be our forth drive down south for a cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLAMOM24 Posted August 27, 2014 #255 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Michelle, If I told you once, I told you twice, back off from my Nutella! They had it at Sam's Club last week 35.3oz, $7.22. I stood in the aisle fondling it for a few minutes, then I tore myself away. It is fabulous on whole wheat toast and excellent for dipping pretzels into. When I try to make it "healthy", I eat it on slices of Granny Smith apples. When the apple is gone, I just eat it by the spoonful. :o:o:o:o You are OBVIOUSLY a connoisseur of fine food...I would share with you ;) "I stood in the aisle fondling it for a few minutes, then I tore myself away." -lovin the visual I'm getting on this one :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Beamafar Posted August 27, 2014 #258 Share Posted August 27, 2014 We're nuts for Nutella! I'd stock up if I were you. Due to bad weather there will be a shortage of hazelnuts this year which will impact prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casanova02 Posted August 27, 2014 #259 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Hi Mikesa1721 My daughter would like to have a watch from Michael Kors but here, they are very expensive.

Mikesa1721 Posted August 27, 2014 Author #261 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Hey everyone!!! Back onboard after a very hot day in San Juan. Why the boat leaves at 4:00 is anybody's guess,,but it is what it is. We walked to Barrachina's for the original Pina Coloda and then to Fort San Cristobal. It is extremely hot not only here but in St. Maartin as well so come prepared. We received a very nice gift from the MSC Divina. Kim and I each received an embroidered MSC Yacht Club polo shirt. Looks like our butler Johnny will be receiving a very nice bonus Friday evening!!! Hoping to get some more pics uploaded later tonight. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tried to get a shirt last time on Divina and our butlers and others said not for sale and only for the crew. How did you rate one, if I may be so bold to ask? Really enjoying your reporting "live". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Beamafar Posted August 27, 2014 #265 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Mike, I've had a look through Cruisetrail's photos of the YC bar list and don't see any reference to brandy/cognac on the inclusive list. Can you ask your friendly, neighborhood, bartender if they only serve premium brands for a charge? Down in steerage you can get brandies on the basic Allegrissimo package which seems to encompass similar level drink choices as the YC inclusive. I may be in need of some strong liquor by the time I board next Saturday and am partial to a nip of brandy :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Mike, I appreciate it. Great barmen from Bulgaria - we had one on Splendida who very gallantly one night decided to serve me a glass of my tipple for that night as the butler had gone AWOL just when I was in need of a refill! A lovely shot glass of Baileys was placed just so on a tray and the barman then headed across the Top Sail Lounge with tray in mid-air precariously balancing this solitary glass held aloft. As he arrived at my side a flutter of his hand towards the tray to retrieve said glass hit said tray and knocked said Baileys flying. It was a long walk back to the bar for him that night whereupon he located the MIA butler tout suite :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murph219ca Posted August 28, 2014 #273 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Hi Mike! Loving your live feedback - thanks so much. While you're status-checking cognac, could you ask about Ron Zacapa too? DH and I are aboard in 16008 (!) in November, and it's really his only poison. I see it on the regular menus with a little red asterisk. (What the heck does that mean anyway? Is it included in allegrissimo premium?) Any Zacapa intel would be much appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
