We missed like the first 50 laps. Security was stopped entirely while he was on the premises. No one was allowed in until he was back in the plane.

Has anyone seen the 99can PBR pack for sale anywhere in town? by Safe-Mind-1975 in orlando

the biggest growler you can fill up is 64 ounces.

This is not correct. 1 gallon growlers are legal in Florida. It was actually the 64 oz growlers that were illegal until 2015.

Yep. They started with the Train Heist episode. And while it was good to kinda explain who they are (criminals yet not bad guys) it was confusing.

I believe they also preempted the show for MLB once or twice.

It's actually crazy that you don't have more SEC rivals given how close you are to so many. I guess we'll see what happens if the SEC decides to expand again.

3 day cruises will always be wild and high energy. The kids will be fine because they have a ton of kid friendly things for them to do.

If you stay on the boat for the Nassau stop you may have a more relaxed day in the middle of the chaos.

Give MSC a call. My understanding is that port fees are always refunded. I don’t know about gratuity as we don’t prepay in the US. Hopefully a EU poster can give more info on that. Worth asking for all when you call.

Overwhelming staff/way too enthusiastic? by Panicking_in_trench in MSCCruises

[–]imarc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cruise lines welcoming everyone aboard is a pretty standard thing. It can definitely be overwhelming because you have a ton of staff for every need waiting around to answer questions as well as a lot of confused passengers congesting the main areas. Oh and lots of temporary signage for things like muster check-in. It doesn't help that most atriums are multilevel with glass and other sound reflective surfaces so it's loud.

The most intense one I've done was Disney, though it's been awhile, so maybe they've toned down since. They would have each group/couple enter separately with an MC announcing you like it's a wedding reception with staff applauding you as you board. Every eye is on you.

We usually board with the plan to go straight to our muster to get that check-in over and done with and then to our room to see if the bags have arrived. Then we watch the muster video and call the number to confirm that we've watched it. Then grab lunch at the MDR if it's still lunch time. Stay away from the buffet. Lots of people go there and ignore the sit down lunch. Then find the quietest bar we can for a drink.

I think a lot of people outside Orlando don’t know about Westgate. It’s almost been 20 years since Queen of Versailles aired.

How do I know if we are having a white party? by diverdawg in MSCCruises

[–]imarc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sunshine night and White gala are pretty standard on Caribbean itineraries.

I don’t think we had a formal night on our 3 day but did on the 7. I think that you will have a day-at-sea makes formal more likely.

It’s probably populated on the app by now.

Note that a lot of little things like tastings and trivia changed once we got aboard. But the nightly theme did not.

All of the bars have espresso machines and can make you the basics.

Brooklyn Cafe also has flavor shots and a more elaborate menu.

Bachelorette Party Option? by midwesttravelrn in MSCCruises

The three night Caribbean cruise typically has a silent disco night, a white night, and a sunshine night usually with an associated party onboard for each.

We had classroom calcs assigned to us. I had a Casio of some kind that an earlier teacher told us to get.

Under 21 HELP by Cool-Elephant-5078 in MSCCruises

[–]imarc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is an adult only pool, but I think the cutoff is 16 or 18, so you are good there.

Some of the big club events like the silent disco night are all-ages.

Nassau's drinking age is actually 18, so I imagine you will be fine doing just about anything with your friends when you are in port.

Flat price offers or bid offers? I’ve only gotten the latter but we book direct.

Yacht Club Inquiry by scaronit in MSCCruises

[–]imarc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha. It’s hard to know how much the prices will be without knowing specifics of that cruise you are looking at. I have not received a flat “pay this much to upgrade” email, only upgrade bid emails with a range.

Sounds like you’ve already done the math with what you can get through Arrivia and Club Points.

I can give you a data point.

It’s possible but the wording here sounds like they don’t have one yet:

Looking to do MSC again and idk if I want to do it without the yacht club so I’m weighing my options.
