AMT1 Posted July 27, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I've just got on Seaview today in Barcelona. If you've any questions please ask away and I'll do my best to answer them. :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citizenfrank Posted July 27, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Hi. Well you will be feeling fantastic now then! So jealous... I've got 8 months to wait to board her but that allows time to read reviews and observations from earlier sailings like yours. Looking forward to reading your every word ;p 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMT1 Posted July 27, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted July 27, 2018 It's felt like eons since we booked so it definitely is fantastic to be on board! So far so good - embarkation was super efficient and our luggage arrived really quickly. And the ship is beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niccynoo66 Posted July 27, 2018 #5 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Hello :) We are sailing in April 2019. If you have chance could you let me know the following Is there a quiet seating area in the library ? If not could you suggest any quiet areas ? My 16 year old son will be doing some GCSE exam revision and is happy anywhere with a seat, table and relatively quiet. thank you , nicky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistyraj Posted July 27, 2018 #6 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Could you take a picture of your stateroom? We are in a fantastica balcony so bonus if you are too! Also can you find out if you can buy the drinks package for just one person, once onboard (I know online you need to buy for everyone in the stateroom). Enjoy your cruise!!

MeeshaNZ Posted July 27, 2018 #7 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Hi, is tap water available for free in the buffet and dining rooms? Sent from my SM-G960F using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pet Posted July 27, 2018 #8 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Hi - We are doing the same cruise as you in early August with both daughter and grand kids. A couple of questions I wonder if you could clarify: a. How strict are MSC regarding the time you can join the ship? We have been given a embarkation time of 14:40 but the flight we booked months ago gets in at around 11:00 so we would prefer to go straight to the ship. b. I have seen conflicting comments regarding the need to reserve a place in the theatre - can you clarify? and c. Could you tell whether there are long waits for the main attractions, such as water slides, zip wire, and bowling? Many thanks:) Pet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Beamafar Posted July 27, 2018 #9 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Hi, is tap water available for free in the buffet and dining rooms? Sent from my SM-G960F using Forums mobile app Water is available 24/7 in the buffet. It depends on what country you're from whether bottled water in the MDR will be included in your booking - tap water isn't served in the dining room in most regions (except, perhaps, on US sailings?)

MeeshaNZ Posted July 27, 2018 #10 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Thanks, that's what I thought but was hoping otherwise. From New Zealand nothing seems to be included :-(. Sent from my SM-G960F using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preziosa Posted July 27, 2018 #11 Share Posted July 27, 2018 You Can board the ship as soon as you Can. You have paid for the first Day. Just Go strait from the airport and board the ship. You have to reserve in the theater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cumbria1kaz Posted July 27, 2018 #12 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Hi there We are doing this cruise in October and I'd be gratetful if you could let us know how much the zipline, F1 simulator and bowling is if you don't mind. Also any pics of the ship/cabins etc would be great. Thank you Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've taken a photo of the library for you but don't know how to upload it:confused::confused::confused:. It's quite small and there's a billiards table in there, so might not be great for your son. But the outside seating area for the buffet at the sides of the ship seem to be reasonably quiet a lot of the time, and some of the bars are really quiet during daytime so they might be an option? Hope that helps a wee bit. Anthea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Hi Karen They cost 9 euro each but theres a funpass package available and if e.g. you buy a 15 euro package you get an extra 5 euro credit. The greater the value of the package, the more credit you get. I've taken a few photos but don't know how to upload them. I'll try and figure it out! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks:) Pet Hiya Based on my kids reactions so far (9 and 7) your grandkids will have a blast. We were scheduled to board at 14.50 but were on board by noon with no problems. It's probably best to book for the shows as the theatre gets full. They will let people in who haven't reserved just before the show starts/if there are any seats left. You can book through the TV in your room and it's really easy - just pick a showtime and whoever is going. You don't book an actual seat. The waterslides aren't too busy at all. We haven't been bowling or to the zipwire yet - but we have promised the kids so I'll let you know :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niccynoo66 Posted July 29, 2018 #17 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Thank you so much for taking the time to reply ! All of the answers are really helpful :) Are you enjoying the food in the MDR ? thank again Nicky x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soc13 Posted July 29, 2018 #18 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Thanks looking forward to cruising next year and my daughter enjoying the arcade. Is the cinema Euro9 too? Question about the Sports Bar do you have to prebook and pay extra for the booths with the private tv's do you know?

kodesthemoose Posted July 29, 2018 #19 Share Posted July 29, 2018 My kids will be similar age when we sail and I’d be happy to hear how your kids are liking it - especially kids clubs if they have gone. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cumbria1kaz Posted July 29, 2018 #20 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Thanks for the reply AMT1, that's really helpful. I like the idea of the fun pass and acquiring extra credit so I think we will definitely do that. Enjoy the rest of your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.O.cruisers Posted July 30, 2018 #21 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I'd be interested in seeing the menus from the MDR. I understand that there is no "always available" menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirWolf Posted July 30, 2018 #22 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I'd be interested in seeing the menus from the MDR. I understand that there is no "always available" menu. Wrong. The “always available” menu is called “Classic Favorites” menu. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMT1 Posted July 30, 2018 Author #23 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Just need to correct some information about prices as we've since found out the prices guest services gave us weren't right. The funpass starts at 25 euro with 5 euro credit. Bowling is 25 euro for 30 mins and 45 euro for an hour. We've only eaten in the MDR once so far as I've not been crazy about what's on offer. I'm a picky sod though so I suspect it's a case of 'its not you it's me'. The tables are verrry close together. We ate quite early though and it wasn't busy so we were spared sitting on someone else's knee (or close enough!). I've not been to the sports bar yet but hubby is bound to go and I'll ask if he can find out about the booths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
