  1. Not on this itinerary. Where are you hearing different? Nassau Dominican Republic and San Juan. Are docking ports.
  2. The Royal suite has a reserved cabana on pool deck. Just tell your butler what you wish in your cooler. The butlers at the pool deck will help look after you when in your cabana. Enjoy.
  3. My review of Seashore February 18-29. Embarkation Arrived by shuttle service. Quick check in at tent. Once though security was escorted to the check in area. Very crowded and noisy. Did not like the process of agents walking around with wristbands and iPad calling out names and numbers. Hard to hear. Much prefer the counters with agents calling up guests as they finish with each guest. It may have just been like this due to the time of my arrival. Butlers escorted a few at a time onboard and to the topsail. Must say that with a fully booked YC it was very crowded and noisy. But as days went by it seemed to be less noticeable. It was a wonderful family reunion with so many of my MSC family in the terminal and in the Topsail Stateroom Interior 16019 turned out to be a bad location under the YC kitchen area. Each night and even during the day loud heavy noises Interfered with sleep so much by the third morning I went to concierge. No other cabins available to be moved. William, Christian,and Bianca were very sympathetic but nothing could be done to place me in another location. So even with earplugs I was denied a good nights sleep. They did speak with the kitchen crew and noise was less for a few nights. I would not recommend this location to light sleepers like myself. I immediately cancelled the same cabin and rebooked for my upcoming May cruise to a different cabin. Hopefully it won’t happen again. Butler and Jr Butler OomahPultee and Ari Sagita did an outstanding job talking care of cabin and supplied all special requests. When I became sick with laryngitis, they showed much concern and took extra care to provide great advice Ari is very dedicated to performing his job and has great people skills. I’d highly recommend him for advancement. Dining Room Embarkation day is always hectic and this one was even more so! Fully booked YC resulted in under staffed situation. Crew from One Pool were finally called up to help. Matri D did an excellent job handling each day I was there for dinner and lunch. Hostess Ciera handled sitting each guest promptly. And she had a very cheerful personality. My main server for dinner was John and his assistant was Wartawan. What a great team! Cheerfully delivered each order as specified. Wine selections were expertly handled by Rodin and Edison During lunches I had wonderful service from Manuel and Eblyn. Always ready with suggestions and fulfilled my requests promptly. Food selections were mostly Good for me. Taste is a very subjective issue. If I didn’t like what I saw my to go to dish was pasta. Chef Faiyaz Shaikh always provided my Special requests and even made several special dishes for our enjoyment. Topsail After first day, the bartenders knew my morning request and it was provided very quickly. The lounge butlers, Ekta, Lucky, Ariann, were fantastic. Always smiling and making sure I was well taken care of. Also the regular butlers working in the lounge were very attentive. Loved the selection of snacks available all day long. Especially the different flavors of the potato chips. The entertainment in the lounge was very good. And a good assortment of musicians and singers. I must say this was the best cruise I’ve had that was so easy for making new friends while in the lounge. I really appreciated those of you who knew me from our Facebook group coming up to introduce yourself. I won’t try to name you all as I may leave someone out. It really enhanced my cruise. You know who you are and I hope our sea paths cross again soon. Entertainment Wow what a breath of fresh air is the cruise director, Endrigo!! So much energy and liked how he interacted with the guests. He has brought life to the Seashore experience. Shows were so well done. Talented singers and dancers and awesome costumes. Disembarkation I left YC after most were off ship and was escorted to security and quickly out of terminal to wait for shuttle services. Looking forward to returning to Seashore in May and December with my son.
  4. Also be very aware of the time frame for tours and the time due back on board before sailing
  5. Thanks for the correction . My mistake. She is head butler.
  6. A friend is there now and the YC director is Larissa.
  7. Maybe first one from that particular Captain but I have two models signed by several officers
  8. I was told that whoever's name Is first on the booking is who gets the points. My husband and I never had the same points It my also be affected by who pays for the cruise. I’ve never understood how it works
  9. Which ship is not stopping at Ocean Cay?
  10. You will also experience butlers service in te topsail lounge and up n the pool deck. I’m also on this same cruise in the YC.
  11. Weather permitting both are open.
  12. Glad you’re enjoying getting to know Juan Carlos. I’ll be in 16019. I think it’s at the other end from yours. Hate you missed the light show but yes many videos of it. Have you posted pictures of your stateroom? Hope the rest of your cruise is fantastic. Enjoying your reports.
  13. MandyMooToo, I’ve had Juan Carlos as butler a few times. He’s very good. A little quiet but once you interact with him he’s very personable. Please give him my best regards I hope he’ll still be there when I sail in February Also what is your cabin number? I’m also in an interior. Thanks.
  14. Sounds like YC might be fully booked. Enjoy each moment. Love having lunch in restaurant on embarkation day.
  15. Look forward to seeing your comments and reviews of your cruise. I’ll be there in February. Hope you have a wonderful cruise.
