Sorry not to reply sooner - I haven't been on the site since before the changes until tonight.

 

What date are you sailing?

 

May 27, 2019

According to the MSC website, Armonia is sailing the week before (on May 20th) and she's due to dock in Miami at 7am on May 27th.

FGJones, I am on the May 27 sailing also (and from Ohio lol O-H...). When we sailed on Divina out of Miami in 2016, the docked at 7am and our sail away was 7pm, same as Armonia. We arrived at around 11am and people were boarding. Unfortunately, I think everyone arrived at 11am and it took roughly an hour to get through the line onto the ship. I am hoping that this time it is a little better, but expecting the worst. Any tips from other previous guests would be great!

I've just managed to get the meet & mingle numbers up so that we'll have one on our cruise - this being the main reason (I'm really hoping to meet the man at the event).  Of course, another reason is that it'll be the first time I get to go to one as it's our first MSC cruise out of the US.

Bea ... Our friend from Housekeeping will be on the Armonia.

Anyone know if the Muster drill is held inside the lounges/restaurants etc or are they outside at the lifeboats?

 

Thx

How do you get on the Meet and Mingle list? I thought it was through the Roll Call?

[Beamafar]

Click on 'Meet & Mingle' under the 'Gallery' tab at the top of the page and follow the instructions from there.

How is the Spa and Thermal Suites.  Is it worth the price to get a pass?

Any guesses if seats for the local Cuban music will be reserve-able?  

I wonder if they will put out a drink package comparison guide to include the mojitos and new beers and remove the gelato as a perk listed for some of the drink plans, assuming that is the takeaway homemade ice cream listed on the comparison guide.  I don't see a gelato place and an ice cream place on the deck plans but I could be overlooking it. 

 

Here’s soms drink menus from the Mojito bar onboard

How about Daily Planners? Anyone have photos of those?
