If price is a concern, also look at MSC. Their ship out of Port Canaveral will be doing 3,4&7 day cruises. From Miami, Magnifica will have 4 day cruises on May 27 and June 3 to Nassau and their private island, Ocean Cay Marine Reserve. They sometimes have kids sail free offers, where kids under 17 sail free in a cabin with two full fares. EM

Today we have Eurodam eastbound. Miraflores first. Then Pedro Miguel where the weather got a little damp. In the first Pedro Miguel pic, can you find the six birds? Hint: four are on the antenna towers. There are only five in the last pic.

Breakfast in Seashore MDR will be 0630-0800. Buffet 0600-0900. Everything else will be closed. They will make last call around 0930. Checked luggage will await you in the terminal and you will have to drag your carryons around. Cheer up, the ramp is all downhill to the terminal. EM

How to Dine at a Table With Other Passengers (Strangers)
Essiesmom replied to PoorBuoy's topic in Ask a Cruise Question
There have been times when we had no trouble being seated with others, and not so lucky times. And traditional dining has not been the same since specialty dining restaurants began to proliferate. We have been assigned to a table for 8 and no one else shows up after the first night because they are eating elsewhere. And times when we had a table for 2 but so close to others that we might as well have been seated together. EM -
Travel size or Pack’n’play. They make them up with regular sheets. EM

Some birds are very much in demand and can be sold for large amounts. Just watched a ‘to catch a smuggler’ on National Geographic last night where a man was smuggling small birds from, I think, Jamaica. Birds can also carry diseases. EM

Live Seascape YC (10/21-10/28): The one where we left the kid at home
Essiesmom replied to kelly94942's topic in MSC Cruises
GenX is on Beyond now, doing a Live from, and wore that dress boarding day. Her husband did not have a matching shirt. EM -
What does your family consist of? Young, old, kids? In San Juan I wander the old town and explore the forts. There is a free HoHo bus route. In the other ports I go shopping, though I may not buy anything. My first time in a port I book the basic overview tour, usually only a few hours. Look up your ports of the Ports of Call board, join your roll call and see what your fellow cruisers are planning. Consult with your family members as to what THEY want to do. If you are an extended group, remember not everyone has to do the same thing. EM

Changing Names in Cabin Question
Essiesmom replied to Sarcastic Mama's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
I believe you cannot change out all of the people in the cabin. At least one of the original occupants on the booking has to sail. EM -
Seascape Terminal C Embarkation - which side?
Essiesmom replied to Saving Up To Be Eccentric's topic in MSC Cruises
The OP seems to indicate he is NOT in YC. EM -
Looking at MSC for 1st time - Poesia. Pros and cons?
Essiesmom replied to YoPhilly's topic in MSC Cruises
Yes it can. The little triangle in the cabin on the deck plan indicates that cabin has a single sofa bed. EM Welcome to Cruise Critic. -

The two ships were side by side at Miraflores, but Vista had to wait for her lock to fill. @BillB48they did what you said they did the other day at Pedro Miguel. With the two ships in the lock, I could see the water go down in the one lock and come up at the same time next door.
