This would be a great option for me. Luckily the late flight wouldn't be a problem because the next day is a holiday, no work. Love learning something new, thank you!

Now that was the debarkation I dream of! So you rented a hotel for the day, is it a set fee or based on how long you will be using it for? I have heard of this but haven't looked into it yet. I would considering doing this if available in Seattle after my cruise. I have the choice of flights leaving a little earlier than I would like at 11 am and one leaving very late at 11pm. I wouldn't mind doing the late one and having time to visit a few touristy spots and then relax in a room before my flight. My other option is a great time 1pm flight but flying into Austin which means bothering someone to come pick us up. I have the earlier flight booked but that can be changed no penalty, decisions, decisions.

The Breeze will have an amazing thermal suite area compared to the Jubilee. It will have the famous thelassotherapy pool and the heated loungers in separate rooms not all crammed into one tiny loud space. Other special rooms and special showers also spaced out nicely. I thought when I booked Celebration since it was a new ship it would have the extra nice thermal suite area like I had on the Dream so I booked a spa cabin to have free access. Was I ever surprised and totally underwhelmed when I saw the thermal suite area, we only used it twice. On the Dream we purchased the week long passes and used it at least twice a day.

I don't know what it's based on but it's always been $25 pp for me. We each get 2 free a year with the CC but that's only one trip. Have considered buying only one but I would crack under the pressure if trying to save a seat and husband is a wild card, there would be the potential of us getting kicked off the plane if he was trying to save a seat and it went south🤔

HaHaHa funniest thing I have read in a long time, give yourself 100 Sid points👏

If not free I saw I can purchase one day of Internet for less than $20 which is a lot less than $50. It's problematic to not have an assigned seat on Southwest ughhhh.

As usual I'm probably the last to know lol. I will look into it, thanks.

I like on NCL I can save enough of my FAS WiFi minutes to do Southwest check in. On Carnival I have no Wi-Fi so have to pay $50 for us to get early bird check in.

I'm a lightweight and like drinks that don't taste like alcohol so a sexy glass helps get me through the ordeal😂🤣

Ok I'm slow on the take. I did notice lots of pic of drinks in plastic cups, which I don't prefer. But now I think I get it, order outside get a plastic cup, order inside get a glass. Please tell me this is so. I don't want to get schooled like martini lady haha.

Great to see a favorable review on the Jade. I needed an August cruise and the only 7 day that wasn't Alaska or Canada was on the Jade. I too was concerned about being on an older and smaller ship. I'm feeling good about and excited for this cruise after seeing a few positive smaller ship reviews lately. We love Asian food so will prob eat there a few times. Not a fan of game shows as entertainment so hope we have decent entertainment on our cruise. Hope your wife continues to recover and become more mobile.

When I sailed NCL I don't think I was aware you could get 2 drinks at a time. Certainly no one ever poured me 2🧐. I'm May I'm getting my 2 drinks at a time. Yes I can barely finish 1 but it's the principle of the matter lol.

We woke up to pouring rain this morning, now it's hot, humid and sunny. I have no rum ☹️

I'm up too early this morning booo. I know I was at Freeport once but couldn't remember anything about it until I went back and looked at some old pics. We did a beach, kayak, snorkel excursion but it was so windy it just turned into a beach day. Beach was very primitive I think we got the only shade spot under the only trees lol. No wonder I didn't remember. But I do remember the next port was HMC and that made up for it! Enjoy your day just chillin😎

Loved the Seashore. They had infinity hot tubs that were on max bubble, just like being in the Thelassotherapy pool

Will remember this one to try.

Is sounds like I had a one off MSC cruise in that I loved it but here are my thoughts. The people onboard seemed to be from many different countries with Americans maybe being the minority. The cruise director announced just how many different countries and it was a huge number but I don't remember exactly how many. The passengers were quite pretty. Meaning they looked tanned, fit, healthy, and dressed nicely. I think I saw exactly one scooter the whole cruise. The passengers were polite to a fault, no rushing the elevators, lines were orderly, no getting crowded and bumped into. Like I mentioned the passengers were quiet and kept to themselves. They didn't really talk to you or make small talk. I didn't hear a lot of English spoken so that might be part of it. The passengers liked to eat late so if you like to eat earlier it was much less crowded. There were times when at the pool there were rows of loungers available until almost 11 am. Didn't really see chair hogs. Like I said I sailed on the Seashore and it was designed with lots of outdoor space so the indoor spaces never felt crowded. We sailed at capacity and there were so many nice relaxing places indoors that just sat empty. The food was presented beautifully and tasted delicious. We eat a lot of meat at home and there was some type of beef, pork, or chicken every night, not everything was Italian but what I tried I loved. For the first time in a long time I actually ate and liked the food at the buffet. The staff and workers were different compared to other lines. They were more serious and work focused. They were very polite and nice but didn't really chat or socialize. My husband was called Sir Billy and I was called Madame Linda the whole cruise. One time we were at the pool and we had a young server attending to us. We told him we were going to leave out stuff and go to lunch. When we got back to our loungers there were 2 drinks waiting for us, ice wasn't even melted. I don't know how he timed that but it was impressive lol. Those are my views on my cruise. I hope when I sail them again it's a great experience again!

Thanks, have used the two I had guess I better grab another one. I have a feeling I will want to go back to Alaska next year.

I have seen plenty of less than stellar reviews concerning MSC cruises, Davina and Meraviglia mostly and a lot from 5+ years ago. I started checking out MSC about 7 years ago but a friend that cruises a lot advised me to wait a bit, they were still struggling to connect with their American passengers. I did wait and had a great cruise. Have actually seen just as many less than stellar reviews about most every cruise line. But I don't think I have really seen any bad reviews about the Seashore which is the ship I sailed on.

I love the air fryer! No more soggy leftover pizza, no more cold limp fries lol. Just don't cook pork chops in it.

Your dinner looked so good. I wanted steak but had pork chops, cooked in the air fryer. Lesson learned don't be lazy and fire up the grill next time

I liked that also. Last cruise all our MDR meals were at window seats except two meals.

That's crazy! We sailed out of Florida. One thing I noticed about the passengers was that they were quiet. They mostly kept to themselves. Polite, maybe a bit reserved and so were the crew. Not like on Carnival where no matter where you are or what you are doing someone will strike up a conversation with you lol. We aren't social butterflies so it was ok for us.

I will sail them again when they come to Galveston. My biggest letdown was the lack of comedy on my ship but the other entertainment made up for it.

Honestly I thought MSC Seashore was one of my best cruises. I know a lot of reviews talk about how bad people are but I didn't have any problems. I said it when I got back from that cruise and I will say it again. My fellow passengers were the most polite, well mannered, beautiful, well dressed, fit people I have ever cruised with. Food was excellent and ship was new and gorgeous. Yes there were little things, it wasn't perfect but darn close. Hope you have a good experience.
