Hello all,

I'll be sailing in Yacht Club on the Seascape in February (19/02/2023). First time cruising with MSC.

Can I write to the concierge to get recommandations on tours prior to embarkation day? I know other cruise lines do it but I haven't received any communication from the YC concierge yet. I did a "call me back" request on the website last week and no one has called me back either.

TIA

Cruises are meant to be a destination unto themselves...not transportation.

I understand that you mean closed loop cruises are not meant for transportation and not the hundred of transatlantic, transpacific and everything in between cruises that people who are afraid of flying use as transportation :D

As I said we fly frequently and although we live in paradise, opportunities for shows and entertainment is limited here so it would have been awesome to combine the 2.

Thanks for your answers.

Oh well...it would have been great.

Flying it is then.

Thanks for your answer. Since cruise ships spend a few days at sea/port before arriving in Grand Cayman, they would know if they have unsold rooms before arriving here. I thought maybe they would be more flexible on the price then :) I will definitely call the cruise lines. I was just fishing for infos and past experience before I do.

We are a couple living in Grand Cayman and we got the cruising bug since we've done a Baltic cruise at the beginning of the summer.

The opportunity for nightly entertainment and shows in Cayman is not that great so we were wondering about the possibility of hoping on a cruise ship next time we want to go to the United States (instead of flying to go there).

This is a long shot but is there anyone living in a port destination that has experience about doing partial cruises from their hometown? Do you wait for a good deal and just pay for the full fare or is there a way to negotiate with the cruise lines for last minute unsold room? (We have jobs that allow us to leave at the drop of a hat)

Any tips and tricks about partial cruises in the Caribbean would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
