I’m an old lady who has sailed a lot of lines, to a lot of places. If I were still young, I would be looking to cruise exotic destinations. My heart wants to do that. But my purse and body say restrain yourself. Prior to Covid we had sailed MSC, Carnival, Celebrity. Cancelled by Covid were Celebrity, Cunard, Carnival, and Windstar. When things opened up again, we got a bargain and sailed Crystal. My personal choice now is to drive to the port, which means Jax, Port Canaveral, or Tampa. Which means mostly Carnival from Jax, plus Carnival and MSC from PC.
I like MSC, even though I’m not overwhelmed by their food. I don’t go hungry, though I tend to dine a lot on appetizers, soups, salads. The only time I have almost gone to bed hungry was one dinner on HAL, where the menu was not inspiring, and I didn’t like the best of he worst that I ordered. That’s the only time we left the MDR after desert and went to the buffet so I could eat. EM
