MSC Poesia - questions

[LindsayC]

We are sailing the MSC Poesia in November of this year for 13 days (first time MSC) in an Aurea Suite. I still have some questions maybe some of you experienced MSC cruisers can help me with.

 

- is the MDR open for breakfast and lunch every day? Also for lunch on embarkation day?

- is there a waiter at the top 16 solarium deck?

- I understand we don't get cruise cards at check in. So after you board you go straight to your cabin to collect them?

- towels to use at the swimming pool are found in your room? Is that one towel per person or can you request more?

- on a normal night can you wear jeans in the MDR?

- with the Aurea suite there is a massage included. Are there any massages you would recommend?

- does the Spa bar only has non alcoholic items?

 

Any other tips are more than welcome. Thank you very much in advance!

We haven't sailed on Poesia but based on other sailings;

 

-The MDR is open for lunch and breakfast. Can't advise on embarkation day.

-There's usually a waiter on the Aurea sundeck, not always, sometimes you do need to go to the bar.

-Your cruise cards will be in your cabin  but your cabin may not be ready when you board, it's usually around 1-2pm, so depends what time you're boarding. Your booking/check in documents will allow you to get drinks etc. You have 48 hours to register your CC against your cruise card so don't worry about doing immediately. Usually a selection of machines around the atrium area.

-The pool towels will be in your cabin, 1 each, we've never asked for extra. I'm sure you can try asking your cabin steward.

-Jeans will be acceptable in the MDR on normal nights.

-The spa bar does only serve non alcoholic drinks, I think! I don't recall the names of the massages I've had but have always enjoyed.
