The sommelier is Christopher, a youngish ginger lad from Texas. We found him incredibly entertaining and loved watching him work the room. As fellow Texans he made a couple of restaurant recommendations for dry land

We've never been nicked for an overweight bag from MSC, the airlines yes but not MSC.

Have a great trip! Will be following to soak up all the tips as the Divinia is our next cruise

Looking forward to following along, we're on the Divinia in YC about a year out - happy sailings to you

My review finally got approved, here is a link to the review https://www.cruisecritic.com/memberreviews/memberreview.cfm?EntryID=710584 also sadly i think the video might of killed my camera, because I had IT (husband) look at it and of course its dead.

I always pack a small Pair of fiskars that fold up - they get through airport security and msc

For those not super familiar with Galveston When planning your cruise look to see what is happening on the island, because it can effect ones ability to get a room the night before. example the first weekend in December is Dickens on the Strand and most decent hotels/VRBO type offerings start getting booked in July. For those flying the best airport to fly into is Houston Hobby Food - there are lots of awesome places to eat in Galveston: Star Drug (does a great breakfast, but is a local fave and gets busy so plan on getting there early) besides that our faves are Black Pearl, Katie's Seafood, Mosquito Cafe, Gaido's and Cajun Greek Drinks - Daquiri Time Out will get you ready for vacation and that drink package Besides the seawall there is lots to see/do in Galveston https://www.visitgalveston.com/plan-your-trip/maps-neighborhoods/seawall-district/ Moody Gardens https://www.moodygardens.com/ Bishop's Palace https://www.galvestonhistory.org/sites/1892-bishops-palace Railroad Museum https://galvestonrrmuseum.org/ Ocean Star Museum https://www.energyeducation.org/ Galveston Naval Museum https://www.galvestonnavalmuseum.com/ Bolivar Ferry https://www.galveston.com/trip-planning/transport/galvestonferry/

Well... Dang it. It sounds like my troglodyte ways struck again

Still waiting on CC to approve my review, so in the meantime I thought I would add some photos we took and hopefully (fingers crossed the video of our room) DSCF4775.AVI

We were on Seascape this past november/december and its a beauty! I'm hoping they also have some short 3-4 day cruises added since those make for a nice need to get away trip

I also realized that with this Port I could aspire to @morpheusofthesea dear wife and bring along 12-14 pieces of luggage...

I just received the email from MSC about this today. As a Texan this makes me happy because I can quite possibly talk my husband into more cruises, since we won't need to book additional flights or hotels to/in Miami. https://www.msccruisesusa.com/Search Result?embkPort=GLS

Our last MSC cruise we pre paid for gratuities upfront at time of booking, so having something show up later while we were at sea was odd. Either way it was money well spent as well as the last evening issuance of the green. We really did enjoy the YC.

we didn't get a bad butler by any means, both he and our jr butler were pretty awesome with the service and it was determined our first, but not last YC cruise. I employed many of the tips I've learned from reading your poop deck reports and they worked like a charm.
