    I went mega in March 26 and the replacement bottles were liters not pints as you stated in your video. I am positive as I got many replacement bottles

    You aren’t the first person I have heard say things weren’t offered to a person traveling as a mega rockstar. And in some instances when they asked for something special to celebrate their son’s birthday the Mega Rockstar agent just told them no.

      Have you sailed mega? We got everything and more. Our agents couldn’t have been nicer
