Mariner was our very first cruise with our kids back in the early 2000's. So many fond memories. At that time she was huge. We sailed on her several times from PC and then one year out of LA when we sailed down to Cabo. Whenever we see her now in port we always say we need to sail on her again someday.

This would be perfectly fine. Cheers!

Depending on the sneakers, you'd be fine with those too.

Same for us. Our first with MSC was on Seaside in January 2019, and we loved the European feel of the ship.

Gorgeous!!

Okay, I had a feeling maybe we wouldn't get a preferences email at all. I do know that when people have filled them out 9 out of 10 times they still have to ask their butler. Just thought the repetitive surveys were strange, and I let them know it in the last one I filled out. 😃

We sail on Seascape on 9/10. One week from today! We're in the YC and still haven't gotten the email asking about our preferences, however, it seems like every day I get a short 2 question survey asking about their website. The title to the email is "Your cruise on MSC Seascape - a few quick questions." I've gotten this same email almost daily for the past couple of weeks. And we haven't purchased anything online or had any calls with them in quite a while that would normally trigger a survey. It's very strange. Anyone else getting the same?

Does everyone in the room have to do the upgrade?

That’s what my husband wears as well. We were just talking about the way we used to dress up when we cruised back in the day. He said he never minded having to wear a suit, and would if he had to. Not having to bring a garment bag is a win though. Even most of my dresses can just be rolled when I pack them.

Oh no. Didn't know about that one.

THIS!!!!

I wasn't sure how I'd like the glass panels in the YC on Meraviglia, but we loved them. First time we've ever been able to really enjoy a full day at the pool without a sunburn.

It really is! Ohhhhh I see what you did there. USB plugged into the razor outlet??

Yes, and not only was it a dry dock, it was the Carnival Destiny major overhaul before it became the Sunshine. The ship was definitely showing signs of wear and tear, but everything else on the ship, activities and service, were normal. Funny too, because that was my very first time sailing with Carnival and all the reviews here prior to our cruise weren’t very good at all, but it will still go down as one of my favorite cruises. It was a girls cruise and we had so much fun.

Great to hear and thanks for posting pictures.

Mods, please feel free to move this post if it doesn't belong here. We're sailing soon on Seascape. For years I've packed those little battery operated tea lights for a bathroom nightlight. I recently ordered a pack of 2 motion sensor, rechargeable (USB) nightlights and they just arrived. The reason I'm posting here is, not only are these nightlights small and easy to pack, they have a built in magnet on the back. It's strong too! Also came with a little 3M sticky square in case you wanted to stick it to a non metal surface. Here's a link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MHVTHQS?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

We're sailing in under 2 weeks on Seascape and just received yet another offer to bid on an upgrade. Lowest bid from where we're currently booked (YC Deluxe Grand) to move into the Owners is still $5860 pp. Royal (which is the one I'd prefer tbh) is still just under $2500 pp. These are exactly the same starting bid prices we've been seeing since they began sending us offers. Do they ever go down??

Oh no. Good thing you drove to the port. Enjoy your last day on board.

Not kidding you at all. When your parents are on hospice care in an assisted living facility, we did what we had to do to be able to be with them during the end of their lives. My body, my choice. Right?

Are the Burgundy Snails on the "Classic favorites" section of the dinner menu all week?

Did you book another YC cruise while on board this week??

We fly to Miami on September 8th and sail on the 10th. A couple of days in Miami and 2 weeks on the Seascape (10th - 24th). We also have a wedding to go this Saturday, so that's making me a little nervous. We've both been jabbed 5 times now and each had Covid back in February. (I know that doesn't mean we can't get it again!) I always pack plenty of OTC cold meds, Tylenol, etc. Maybe I'll throw a couple of tests in the bag as well this time.

Are you the person who posted on a Seaside FB group? I hope you feel better soon.

I like the way you think! (We'll be on Seascape in just over 2 weeks.)

"We have access to the mini bar but there really hasn’t been anything in it we drink." They must not have known you can request whatever you want stocked in your mini-bar by just asking your butler.
