Hi there

We are a New Zealand couple in mid 40s travelling to Europe for the first time ever in Sept. We have a 7 night MSC Preziosa cruise booked (from Genoa, but I understand you can get on at any port).

We are in cabin 11189 (fantastica class) and have the basic allegrissimo drinks package (tap beer only). No OBC etc.

2 days after getting off MSC cruise we join Celebrity Reflection in Civitavecchia for an 11 night cruise- but thats another story and I've posted on the Celebrity forum about that.

My questions:

Cabin choice (11189)? Is it ok?

Drinks package? Does it include ice-cream (or anything else) and if so from where?

Main a la carte restaurant- we prefer to eat here than buffet. What is it called on Preziosa and are there other "free" places to eat?

Is it possible to choose to tip the service staff we develop relationships with and "turn off" the daily tipping charge.

Any other Reflection tips? Adults only pool? Can we take bottled water off the ship for port visit?

Thanks in advance for any advice offered,

Adele
