    Greetings all!

     

    @DJ's DH and I are considering our 40th anniversary cruise on MSC in YC.

     

    Most recently we have been sailing on X in their upper suites.  Pricing and service on X has us looking at other lines.

     

    @DJ's DH big questions include if he can get French Onion Soup, Caesar Salad or Shrimp Cocktail for dinner in the YC and Bagels with Lox and Cream Cheese for breakfast.

     

    First world problems but the man knows what he likes ... and he foots the bill 🙂

    Pretty much whatever you want you will get in yacht club.  Bagels and lox is a definite, I'm not sure about French onion soup but shrimp and Ceasar salad were served.  The buffet in YC had shrimp and scallops almost everyday.

  2. I loved all my cruises and the one coming up next week is exciting. My favorite cruise was the Mediterranean cruise for the ports. We had a port every day and it was very different for us to see a new country a day. HAL wasn't my favorite ship, it was very nice but I had a better time on Princess and Carnival.

  3. Our last cruise with the kids (15,13,11) was on Princess. It was a Christmas cruise so it was really full and lots of kids. We book 2 rooms with connecting doors/balconies. The Princess line is a good choice and isn't a "party" ship.

    I don't get the internet package and it is family time. We unplug and enjoy our vacation.

    We are doing a Eastern Caribbean 8 day with 4 ports out of the port of Everglades. My kids have fun in the pools, kids clubs or just hanging out together. Your cruise is as good as you want it to be. Also do your research on the cruise stops and what you can do that will be great for kids. I don't like the party cruises and stops at bars.

  4. For those dressy nights and you don't have a pocket. A bracelet with a hidden pocket for you card, cash or something small.

    The Zen Zig-Zag Bracelet Wallet has small acrylic black beads and larger acrylic black and silver beads with a zig-zag pattern that give a sleek, polished, but fun look perfect for parties, dances, or just dressing up an outfit. The soft, non-scratchy black mesh bag with Velcro seal underneath the beading holds credit cards, IDs, cash, coins, business cards, Fitbits, keys (when laid flat), and items of a similar size.

  5. I watched the news from the moment it was on. There really wasn't any clear understanding of how the airport was going to respond. People were fleeing everywhere for hours. I don't think the cruise lines could even give a clear answer except the airport was closed till further notice.

     

    Would I have wanted to know if I was flying out that day? of course, so I could make other plans.

     

    If I wasn't flying, I think I would like to stay in my vacation bubble.

  6. My Mother has it noted when booking she needs a wheelchair for boarding. she uses a walker so that also needs to go with us. I'm hoping they allow us to help my Dad get Mom on the ship. We are traveling with kids so it's not ideal to split a family up while boarding. I will need to help my parents get on board and would hate to leave my husband with 3 kids on line.

  7. We have 5 also. You have to book an adult in each room when booking but we have had a connecting balcony on Princess. There are connecting rooms on most ships but you have to book early.

     

    Our next cruise is with Carnival and my parents are joining us. We booked 3 rooms in a row and the kids in the middle. I have requested the partition open but we will wait and see if we can.

     

    Your kids will have a blast and use the kids clubs. We were able to see shows and even hit the casino.

  8. Service animals of course are OK.

     

    As for pets, no since you can't clean up all the hair and dander from a stateroom or cabin. I am a huge animal lover but when you have family members who are severely allergic them, I have to say no. My daughter has a severe allergy that includes "hyper-allergenic" dogs. She and I both are allergic to Benadryl, so what do you do? No medicine to take to make you well.

     

    Cruising is a clean place for those with these kinds of allergies.

  9. We are a family of 5 and we do 2 rooms. Last cruise we had balcony room with the partition opened so we could go back and forth between rooms. There are other rooms with connecting doors but they were taken already. We are hoping to do the same on our cruise next month. A large suite is pricey and I doubt you could fit 7 in it, I think 6 is usually the most in one.
