Booked on first cruise - Euribia some questions

[Marga.Anders]

Hi, 

 

Just booked our first cruises with a group of 14 on Euribia next year to Norwegian Fjords. 

Some questions :

 

1. How do we get seated together at dinner. Can we arrange this somewhere? 

2. How can we get show reservations? Do we do this now, or on the ship? Can 1 of us do this for the group? 

 

 

3. Should we buy lanyards for the kids for a seapass? 

4. How do we get an early boarding time? 

5. Do we need to bring towels? 

6.When and where do we sign up for kids club?

We did not cruise on Euribia but can answer the above questions per our experiences on Seaside.

2.  The TV screen around the ship would let you do for all the people on your booking by using cruise card(s).

5.  In most cabins MSC does not provide FACE TOWELS but will provide bath/hand towels.  If you need face towels just ask your cabin attendant for them you could have just one day or everyday.

Just off Euribia a few weeks back, so can hopefully be helpful...

 

1) You won't know your dinner allocation until you're on the ship, but if you're in the same cabin / several; cabins on linked bookings you should be seated together.  If not, ask at the MDR on boarding and they'll sort you out if they can (more difficult the more full the ship is....)

2) As well as the screens around the ship mentioned, you can also use the MSC for Me app on-board.  Shows can't be booked pre-boarding; you can book for your cabin / party.  When we were on board this was only needed for the main Delphi Theatre, and they filled up fast so keep an eye on them going on release the night before; shows in the Carousel Lounge were always just turn up.

3) If the kids have mobile phones, tucking them between phone and phone case works well too.  We used lanyards, but it's down to preference. 

4) You're stuck with what the boarding time they allocate, but by most accounts MSC don't enforce these much if at all.

5) In addition to the note about face towels, a note of caution about pool towels - you'll find one for each person in your cabin on arrival, don't lose these!!  The towel booth on the pool deck will not give you one unless you hand one in; and there's the threat of a 30 euro charge per towel if you don't leave them in your cabin at the end of the trip.

6) Can't register in advance; once on board, Kids Club desk on Deck 18 aft.

Are all of you booked in the same ‘experience’…Bella, Fantastica, Aurea…Bella and Fantastica will have fixed dining whereas Aurea will have My Choice dining either in a different area of the MDR, or a separate dining room.  EM
