I appreciate you specifically mentioning the benefits of Aurora. We're in the process of picking an MSC cruise date for later this year and the YC only has availability in royal suite making it more than we wish to spend. We're trying to decide between a different week (which would be less convenient with our schedule) or getting an Aurora suite on the week we prefer (which would be the cost of the YC balcony). Any opinion on our (first world!) quandary?

Since we don't all have the same hair type, I don't think you're going to get a solid answer here. I suggest you pick up a bar of Lush Shampoo and try it at home.

 

If you're concerned about liquids and flying, you can always mail yourself a package in the care of your night-before hotel (call first to be sure they will accept /hold packages for guests). I've done this -- not for cruises because I'm close enough to drive -- but for other vacations.

We have been known to buy some things (bug repellant / sunscreen especially) at a local drug store near our night-before hotel. Things may have a bit of an up-charge, but, it's worth it not to have all my clothes covered in Hawaiian Tropic!

$15/each way per person.

 

$30 round trip.

 

Or do you only fly one way to the port?

They are only concerned about their flight home, as they will be able to use their home internet to check in 24 hours prior to their flight to the cruise.
