Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. It is interesting to think about. I remember how nervous I was when we booked our first MSC cruise. All the bad stuff that I had read had me terrified. I was also quite perplexed by a comment we frequently heard about how it was “very European.” As a family that has visited various countries (numerous times) on the continent, I couldn’t quite figure out what that meant. Especially considering we had always had enjoyable experiences. A friend of ours is a MSC captain. When I was talking to him about our nervousness I was told to take a deep breath that we would be fine. He was right. We cruised MSC 4 times in a row last year. We learned that the passengers are much more international than American based cruise lines. So far we have only done MSC from the US (going out of the UK next month). We sailed from Italy on an American cruise line last fall, and the passengers were heavily American. MSC from Florida was not comparatively.
  2. I know an individual that works on board. We were messaging about an hour ago. I don’t believe so. They just left Ocean Cay a few hours ago.
  3. We were on your sailing and had early dining in Ipanema. But we were part of a group of 23 so I’m sure that’s why. We are sailing again next week and wishing for anytime!
  4. We had a great time! We actually might do it again at the end of the month.
  5. Ha! We were supposed to be on another ship, another date. Then we had some scheduling conflicts and it was get what you can with a lot more costs involved than the first one. We are getting off the Seaside Sunday morning and on Seascape Sunday afternoon.
  6. Nah. We booked pretty last minute (not even 2 months ago) so we are hanging with the masses. Haha
  7. I’ve thought the same (getting off/getting on). We are sailing with you!
  8. We make a point of this also! It’s always so lovely to see the crew faces light up.
  9. Ha! I’ll try to remember. We are all on that one to celebrate my child’s birthday. About half & half first time cruisers and previous cruisers. We typically try to avoid 3 nights on the weekends. It can’t be as bad as the lapse in judgement (it’s so cheap) that landed us on Carnival Liberty back in January, right?. Never again on Carnival… During the drive back, we decided to have the weekend birthday celebration though. 🤔
  10. Great. 😂😂 sailing Thursday on Seaside and getting on Seascape when you get off. No hope of losing the weight, I suppose. 🤣
  11. He will be on the “group recovery” cruise. We are sailing on Seaside and Seascape in the next couple of weeks. we were on Meraviglia in April. Actually thought the MDR food was better than some we’ve had while on Princess the last couple of trips.
  12. Sometimes I wonder if we go into a brand closed minded…expecting things to be what we are used to. We booked a cruise on MSC during late summer last year for a spring cruise (not even in YC). I was nervous based off the things I had read. Captain Tuvo told me that we would be fine. He was right. We still prefer Princess to MSC, but we didn’t have a bad experience at all. We are sailing on MSC twice during the next few weeks. One as a group and one to recover from sailing as a group. Haha
  13. That dress! @GenerationX I also have a 10 year old. She would be all over that dress!! we are on Seaside and Seascape over the next couple of weeks. I’m so excited.
  14. My password that I’ve been using since they required a special character is now not working. Tried the super old one without the special character and it worked. Go figure.
