Creator's Key Takeaways

I know that the drink package, the free at sea, unless you upgrade, does not include the Starbucks, but if I were to pay for my Starbucks, I should be able to get Bailey's or Kalúa for free as part of my free at sea in said Starbucks, right?

Florida Governor Ronda Santz signed a bill restricting dredging in protected waters on March 19th, 2026. A plan to bring larger cruise ships to the Tampa Bay region may have hit a major roadblock.

Hot chocolate on deck while sailing past Glaciers is one of the several changes coming to MSE Cruis's Alaska season as the cruise line rolls out new menus and dining venues aboard MSE Picia.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Arrive at Port Miami with extra time due to heavy traffic and construction
Do not expect Starbucks gift cards to work on board ships
If you want alcohol in your Starbucks on board, you must purchase it at a bar and add it yourself
Be aware that large cruise ships may not be able to dock in Tampa due to new dredging restrictions
