Woohoo! 🍕 thank you!

All sounds perfectly fine to me! Thanks for the info 🙂

Thanks for the reply 🙂When I looked, the price difference for aurea wasn't too bad, and we do like having anytime dining. Even if the spa isn't as well equipped as the newer ships I'm sure we would still use the sauna and steam room. That's good about the drinks package. The less we have to think about what we're ordering the better! Food choices as long as we won't go hungry (and I'm sure we wont) then no issues there. Do they still have the amazing MSC pizza? Not sure I'll be getting involved in Dance classes haha, but is there trivia, deck games? Etc? Not essential but all adds to the fun!

As someone who used the outdoor pools on the cold northern Europe cruises in November (yes...I'm that crazy person 🤣) I'm sure I'll be fine! Plus it will be far nicer weather that time of year than what I'll be getting in the UK if I didn't go!!

Thank you so much! The temptation to book this is quickly growing!!

Exactly as the title suggests really- just after some opinions! We love MSC and have had fab experiences on Virtuosa, World Europa, Euribia and Seashore so far. I know these are all newer and bigger ships with more bells and whistles, but we are considering squeezing in a canaries cruise on Opera this coming November. We are both in our 30s and usually get the Aurea package with premium drinks. My question is, will we still enjoy an older smaller ship, or will we hate it and be bored ? I don't need waterparks etc but I do like to use pools , tubs, spa etc and play quizzes , sunbathe, and eat nice food! A quieter cruise with less people and less "noise" is totally fine by me as well, happy to try out and enjoy both unless you really think we shouldn't! Thanks 🙂

I think this comes down to personal opinion though. It's very subjective. Like I think a rock climbing wall is boring but I like the look of robotron. And MSC have a lot of ships already with ropes courses, I like that they're trying new things.

Could be! They have a lot of ships with those already though so I reckon they would change it up. It could be like a combination of ropes course & zipline

Looks fun! And what is going on behind it?! Looks like a roller coaster track (which it probably isn't).

We just used it on Seashore for the past 2 weeks. Never crowded, always able to get a cabana! And the side with the sunbeds was very quiet. Only time it felt remotely busy was at the very start of the 4 day part of the back to back we did, but even then it was fine and a fun atmosphere, and only the side with the bar was busier. And very few kids, especially on the 7 day part of our back to back. From what we were told, yacht club was full of kids!

Hi all! Will be going on the MSC Seashore in just over a month for an 11 day cruise, coming from the UK and first time to any of these ports, very excited! We are looking for things to do in Cozumel and love the idea of snorkeling and seeing sea turtles in particular and other sea life. We're looking at viator and there are so many similar options, just wondered if anyone could tell me which of the below would likely be the best option? Thank you 🙂 Option 1 - Cozumel Snorkeling Tour: Palancar, Columbia and El Cielo Reefs Option 2 - The Cozumel Turtle Sanctuary Snorkel Tour Option 3 - Starfish, Stingrays, and Turtle Bay Experience Option 4 - Cozumel Snorkeling Tour: Palancar, Columbia and Cielo Reefs Apologies if this is posted in the wrong place, I just don't know Cozumel at all and all the options look so similar especially 1 and 4! Thank you to anyone who can advise 🙂

No problem, I'll see if I can find the port of call board - didn't know that was a thing. Thank you 🙂

Depends on how busy it is, only reason for this is to control the numbers so the spa doesn't get too crowded. It's a good thing. If it's a quiet day or a quiet ship you can usually just show up when you want to.

This always happens when you upgrade. Aurea should show up in your documents under purchased extras, show that at check in to skip the queue, and then when on board go to guest services to get your card changed to avoid any potential issues during the cruise 🙂 enjoy the upgrade!
