Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Good Afternoon from Cozumel! Enjoying MSC so far. Skipped the YC Restaurant last night and did Kaito Sushi instead. It was excellent and my Son really enjoyed the experience. Our Butler Ram has been the best we’ve experienced on any sailing. Him and our Cabin Steward, Tweety have been exceptional. Currently sitting in a hot tub, drinking a beer docked next to NCL Prima. No complaints.
  2. Good evening from somewhere between Falmouth and Grand Cayman. Having a good time so far, there’s a lot of new things to explore on MSC. YC Restaurant has been disappointing overall. Waited over 30 mins to be seated last night. The staff in seems completely overwhelmed at times and the overall feel is disorganized chaos. Walked off for about an hour today and spent the afternoon at the YC Pool. Service was exceptional and we really enjoyed it. Stingray City and snorkeling in Grand Cayman tomorrow.
  3. Good Morning from MSC Seascape. Yesterday was hectic but very good for the most part. My family and I had fun exploring the ship. Was nice to experience something completely new and we were genuinely excited with some of the surprises we found. Overall the ship is beautiful and very well kept. It does not seem like they vacuum the carpets enough, however. Not that the carpets are dirty per se, there are small pieces of paper, crumbs, etc. that have been noticeable in various areas of the ship. Service has been a mixed bag so far. Some cruise staff have been great, while others have been downright salty. The one glaring miss so far is the YC restaurant. Service has been slow, staff un-attentive, and food bland. Heading up for breakfast in a few, hopefully they'll turn it around today. Plans for today are YC pool area, water slides, Masterchef for kids, and karaoke this evening. Will try to take some pictures and post throughout the day.
  4. Very true. Not complaining, but a half bath would be nice. The bathroom on these is essentially the same as found in a Haven Penthouse Balcony cabin. I’d say this is the only area they missed the mark.
  5. My pleasure! Hope to share a lot more throughout the week as long as the WiFi cooperates.
  6. The Owners Suite is beautiful, although the bathroom is considerably smaller than the 2 Bedroom Family and Owners Suites on the NCL Breakaway Plus class ships. Big advantage to MSC with the amenities, however. The bar is STOCKED and the Butler told us he’ll replace anything we finish. Going to do some damage this week.
  7. We met our Butler who escorted us onboard and showed us to our cabin. Dropped our bags and now seated in the YC Restaurant. Lunch for me today is Grilled Filet w/ Perigeaux Sauce.
  8. We made it onboard after a challenging ride to Port Miami. Poured most of the ride and got soaked dropping our bags at the YV tent. Checkin at Terminal C was in the old Haven area that they used before the new NCL terminal was built. Embarkation was as smooth as could be expected.
  9. You’re right. We still had a good time, just not like we normally do on NCL.
  10. Compared to other NCL mega ships (Encore, Bliss, Escape, etc.) the design of Prima was just awful. The Haven, while larger lacked the level of service found on other ships.
  11. This has been an odd winter for South Florida weather wise. Colder than normal and lots of rain. It poured all day yesterday with more showers in the forecast for today. Hopefully clearing up in time for sail away. Quick run to Wawa for a breakfast burrito and a Mello Yello Zero before heading to Port Miami.
  12. Morning Cruise Critic Fam, In the weeks and month leading up to this cruise these boards have been invaluable in our planning and decision making which ultimately resulted in my family trying MSC and Yacht Club for the first time. We will be on the MSC Seascape departing Miami March 23rd-30th in a YC Owners Suite. We are loyal NCL customers and have sailed with them in the Haven 11 times on 10 different ships. We hated the Haven experience on Prima last year which is what led us to MSC. Other than a Stingray City excursion in Grand Cayman, we have no pre-set plans for this cruise and are going into it with a completely open mind. Throughout the week I will be posting random observations/thoughts/musings on the ship and my impressions as compared to NCL. Hope you all enjoy the ride with us. - Lupush
  13. We'll be in YC with you as well. Looks like Tidal Cove is going to be a wash, unfortunately. Hopefully no rain for the rest of the week after tomorrow. Safe travels.
