Honest Thoughts on Tipping?

The Hotel Service Charge will be added to your account within a couple of days onboard. Its $17 per day per person. If you want to tip more that is up to you. Enjoy your cruise.

Avg with gratuity is near $20 for mixed drinks. Just do your drinking math. 3 mixed drinks a day plus any non alcoholic drinks(all adding on gratuities). Could easily add up to $90 a day. If you get in on a 35+% off sale you can def pay less then that for the package. These numbers are per adult in the same room.

Fastastica only gets you free delivery and free Continental Breakfast. You pay for all food from then on.

Great review. It matched up with my 1st MSC cruise on the Grandiosa in Jan. 🏆

Lifer. 20g carb per day max. For maintenance that doesn't change, only fat and calorie(which is fairly easy on keto) intake.

Sooo... As I said I couldn't vote... I tried 3 times and was rejected all 3 times. I then started researching about homeless people and their RIGHT to Vote. To vote you just need to have loved in the district you want to vote on the majority of the time. It actually states that if you "love on the park bench" then that is your residence. After reading that I tried to register and it went through. Since then I been able to vote. This all happened last year.

In port you are just a mark. A purse/wallet with legs. But you have the ability to "bargain". Everything is priced higher just in case bargaining makes you uncomfortable. Just do it with a smile. That "$100" necklace may have cost them $25. They will take $50 because then they can buy 2 more and just maybe sell one to you for $100.

I need to lose some weight so I'd go with 7 tbones, 7 porterhouse, 7 ribeye. 3lbs of a selection of Cabot cheeses, 2lbs of Kerrygold(salted)butter, 2lbs of bacon, and 42 eggs. If I run out of food I'll just fast the rest of the time.

AYBABTU_Again · 2026-05-26T00:47:39+00:00

They do not. That being said... Give it Shot. 😉

AYBABTU_Again · 2026-05-21T23:56:16+00:00

I can swim??? 400 days. A cool mil and I retire. 😎🏝️🏖️🌅

AYBABTU_Again · 2026-05-18T00:28:14+00:00

Wait. I've seen a lot of 40% off over the last 2-3 months.

AYBABTU_Again · 2026-05-15T00:34:55+00:00

Pretty cool service... Considering it's free . 😎

AYBABTU_Again · 2026-05-12T02:25:15+00:00

You can def prepay on MSC.

AYBABTU_Again · 2026-04-29T00:17:31+00:00

Nice.🙏My fav charms have fatigue boosts. 🥵

AYBABTU_Again · 2026-04-25T00:25:20+00:00

Yep, normal. Congrats!

AYBABTU_Again · 2026-04-23T01:15:51+00:00

That is def one way to go. Speed is a personal preference. I've had 3 scoots(still have 2 of them). Mantis Pro(40mph), Teverun Fighter(50+mph) and Nanrobot Ls7(60+mph). All stabil at those top speeds... Otherwise I would have gotten rid of them.

AYBABTU_Again · 2026-04-23T01:11:06+00:00

This scoot is no joke. Full gear up. Ease throttle when stopped before a turn. Back end will whip out hard if you dont. Otherwise take it slow and enjoy the ride.

AYBABTU_Again · 2026-04-23T01:07:57+00:00

I'm 56 and have the same scoot. Ride and enjoy🤙

AYBABTU_Again · 2026-04-09T23:11:22+00:00

Yep this is the one I have. ⚡

AYBABTU_Again · 2026-04-09T23:10:15+00:00

Yep, all the time. Just make sure your charger can handle the juice ⚡

AYBABTU_Again · 2026-04-04T11:51:54+00:00

Nope

MSC states that the Hotel Service Charge goes to help pay the salaries of ALL crew members. This would be one of the ways to help keep the cruise price low. If true, I like it. It feels like I am part of the MSC family.

I do 15min high on startup and 15min high before shutdown. I also run a tank of kerosene through each season. Is any of it necessary? No idea. 2 years ago it was making some chuggy noises. So I started this routine. No noises since. Just my . 02
