Just off Enchantment today. Yes, they were there to take your boarding pic. They also had several nights for more formal or informal pics. Photographers were visible for sure. The usual photo gallery was there for pax to choose their photos. So, you can choose to join in or not-but on this ship-they continue with onboard photos.

They do have a printed Kid's Menu in Luminae if you ask. Also a Veterinarian Menu. JIM-By-chance did-you mean vegetarian?

I am new to your live reviews, but it seems many on CC are very happy for your Live! Love the pictures you posted. What beautiful scenery. Have a wonderful cruise.

Have fun! The beaches are more beautiful than I expected.

We were there not too long ago. No sign of toys on the beach. Best to bring your own.

We were in Harvest Caye in November 2022. Great place! We took the tram ride to the Caye from the ship and walked to the ferry area to go to Placencia. You cannot miss the ferry ticket area. They sell tickets for all water trips. They sit you in a large, covered area. Note many others are waiting for numerous other events, so stay alert for the Placencia ferry is that is your choice. Harvest Caye is beautiful, and I would go back tomorrow. We liked Placencia but would have stayed on Harvest Caye with its beautiful scenery.

Based on our experience, the ferry does not always stay on time. We were left on the pier in Caye Caulker waiting for a never to arrive ferry service. We did return with our pre planned service mentioned many times on these boards. Our ride to Caulker was so bad we tried another method to return to the pier. Ask others if they have had timely service using the ferry service. It is quite a distance from the pier. I have to say we did have a nice time in Caye Caulker. Had lunch at the nice restaurant; rented a golf cart and explored the small island. Very nice day except for the transport issues we experienced. Hope you have a wonderful day there!

Hello and thank you for posting your Live from Sky Princess! DH and I have been on Sky previously and loved the ship. I will follow your posts and look forward to your sharing your experience. What is your itinerary? Have a great cruise and we are here to share your experience.

The deposit for each cruise was $600.00. I did not need to pay when we booked, but MSC agent did not tell us it was non refundable. So-$1,200 for both cruises and I lost my DH.

DH and I had 2 MSC cruises planned for 2023. They would be our first on this line and we booked the Yacht Club for both sailings. My DH passed away this past Monday 2/13 with no warning. I had our May MSC sailing with an agent and she had the booking cancelled with no problem. I had a 12/29 Yacht Club cruise booked. When I called to cancel, I was told they do not refund Yacht Club deposits. I do not understand why one was fine and the other December booking was denied. Can anyone share their experience in cancelling MSC Yacht Club bookings? I just lost my DH, his pension and that deposit is needed for sure. Any help would be appreciated.
