You can always try something different, see if you like it and then go back to DCL for that bit of extra Magic.

That's what we're thinking too!

A friend of a friend went on NCL from Miami before Xmas and they loved it but it was their first cruise so they couldn't do a comparison.

We are also waiting on RC to release for 2017 as our TA is organising a group cruise on them too .. Hoping for a 7-8 night Bermuda, we may book that too doe ending on price!

We booked it despite many mixed reviews on Cruisecritic.com
There was myself, wife and 2 boys(8 and 4 years at the time),my sister, husband and daughter(10 years) and we all loved it.
We couldn't fault anything, it was superb. We would certainly book again.

Thank you, that's a relief to hear. I stay away from Cruise Critic!

I think she would sail with them again.

Like you say, not a lot they can do for lost luggage but glad she had a good time on the other one, thanks!

Woohoo.
That free drinks package will save us so much money!
They match Castaway Club too, so lots more benefits to gain.

We had the premium drinks package on the Divina and it was great.
We have the premium drinks package booked for our Celebrity cruise in April and it doesn't include as much as the MSC one.

MSC included Champagne by the glass, Champagne cocktails, Johnny Walker Blue Label whisky($22.00 for a single normally) and hand made chocolate, cakes etc from the patisserie too.

Sounds like a no brainer

I've never cruised before and I'm very tempted to book this.

We cruised with MSC around Italy earlier this year and loved it. We also opted for the drinks package and couldn't believe the range of drinks on offer.

Sadly I got laryngitis and spent the last two days confined to our stateroom with our lovely room attendant popping in to make sure I was OK. DH and DD made the most of the ship though and loved it. We would certainly book with MSC again.

I always thought Brits couldn't book MSC with a US TA, so I didn't pay much attention to the FB post. Maybe things have changed.

It looks ace, sadly not in school hols.
