Let us know when you get it, hope you can still get a birthday cruise/trip in. Wow four years left on your passport, I was feeling badly about losing six months. Summer plans sound wonderful.

So, are you on the ship?

Just looked at bank account and our checks came out on the 8th, hopefully yours is “in the mail.” I was in a similar situation, next booked cruise is September and needed to renew for that cruise (you know, the six month out requirement) but wanted to book a last minute in June, so we are good to go.

Wanted to post this, wasn’t sure where - mailed our Passport renewals away May 2 (usps) and today May 18 we received our new Passports in the mail. Was surprised at turnaround timing. Now I can book a last minute cruise, yeah!

@MsTabbyKatsappreciate your statement “money isn’t an issue but value for money is a must,” very much agree. As I said in past Posts, we experienced an Interior Yacht Club Cabin a month ago for first time after 12+ other MSC experiences. We enjoyed it very much, and are doing it again, but we could “go back” depending on prices out there.

Yeah for you two! It’s such a wonderful feeling, not having to give up that cabin yet.

When you print out your Boarding Pass and Luggage Tags you should see Platinum. Be aware, you can sign-in on-line earlier as well.

Have a wonderful cruise. We have been “regular” folks for 12+ MSC cruises, every ship that has ever sailed out of a US Port a few times over, and never knew there was a Yacht Club!”

I suppose this is one way I can look at it, I’m not gaining any weight as I “enjoy” the food.

Yikes, all this really good looking food is killing me, I can almost taste it!

We booked Venezia in May 2023, after reading the @Jamman54review and admiring Patti’s pictures, for February 2025. At the time didn’t realize 2025 was so far away, is it 2025 yet? Well we have had and do have cruises in the meantime, but what was I thinking? All this to say, you two have quite an influence on us. Appreciate you sharing your time and talent.

Don’t know if I am in the majority or minority here but I thoroughly enjoy Sea Day Brunch. Please! Please! No pics! Ha!

Followup Walking Tour Question - length?

We have either booked on-line or called # on MSC website, have never had any problems, (although apparently some do), have done 12+ MSC cruises.

Did our first Yacht Club Interior a month ago, after 12+ MSC cruises and 25+ Carnival cruises and a sprinkling of other Lines. Loved it. A week after home booked another as I found an available Interior on husband’s birthday, good reason, right? Enjoy!

@BlerkOnesuch sad news, safe travels onward and homeward.

Last Ocean Cay stop/overnight before mini shut down, we left island late afternoon, people just needed to be back on board 3:30ish.

@BlerkOnewhere are you taking us next month?

I think the “leather trinkets and steak dinners” you speak of are when you hit Diamond.

Well now we know who’s special, Saint Greg and us, we got the letter but not the mirror message, there must be levels of specialness, well he is Saint Greg!

So sorry @KyleClark, I didn’t pick up on that, I see now that you specifically asked about November 2025 forward, I was too hasty and just thought you were asking about World America cruises showing up.

Saw choices on MSC website a couple days ago. Add the following filters - under ships World America and under ports Miami - they are there.

Ooo la la, the Havana Bar is beautiful, we did Inaugural TA on Horizon in 2018, not Havana Cabin but anyone can enjoy the “bar,” we will soon hear what @Saint Gregthinks about it.

Hey @ninjacat123great minds, along with @Saint Greg, Lou and I are doing it in September. And it does have an Alchemy Bar for you.

I did want to add a further comment about storage in YC Interiors. I had read so much about these cabins prior to cruising on the Seashore and there were many comments on shortage of storage. So I was really very pleasantly surprised at the amount of storage, drawers and closet space, on the Seashore. All this to say, it is quite likely that YC Interior Cabin storage varies from class to class on the ships.
