Stopped there on Magnifica last week, loved it!

I would really like to see RC ships at both ports.

I hope this is true!! I hope RC plans cruises coming out of Norfolk indefinitely, but who knows.

I just got an email from the MSC casino for a free cruise… woohoo!!

Thank you so much! 😀

I love the Anthem but am also looking forward to some of the "new to me" ships coming to NJ...Liberty, Odyssey and Symphony. I will miss Anthem though, she's my favorite ship. Thank you for taking the time to bring us along.. following. 🙂

I did feel that way in my inside cabin only. I do plan on booking again but will make sure it's in an OV or balcony cabin so it's not so dreary. It did not feel outdated at all around the ship.

You’re welcome…happy cruising!

Yes, exactly…I love the smaller vessels for this exact reason!

Or the port in Bayonne NJ

Maybe they can dock at Norfolk, Va port.

3 weeks ago I changed the name on my cabin mate for our Med cruise on Voyager for September. My original friend had to cancel, her mom was just diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. She purchased the drink package and the dining package a long time ago. My new cabin mate now has those 2 purchases listed under her name, both purchases automatically transferred into her name. They didn't automatically cancel. My new cabin mate, my SIL, was just diagnosed with lymphoma last week.😢 I originally booked this cruise 2 years ago. We paid the fee a year ago to change the date as my first friend couldn't do the original one, then she got the news about her mom and had to cancel all together...this particular cruise is a frustration.

Thanks for following! 😀 No drinks at all in the pool area. Of course on the deck around the pool area is ok, but not even sitting around the pool area too put your feet in. (which is what I was doing)

About 15 years old.

That’s a wonderful way to heal. Enjoy your cruises and your healing time.

I returned from my first solo cruise this past Friday. I sailed MSC Magnifica. It was also my first time sailing MSC. I had such a great time…so relaxing! It was a great ship too. I did a live review on this site. My next solo is on Liberty of the Seas next month, on the 22nd. I can’t wait!!

You are correct, they had chicken and salads also. I should have worded it differently. I’m not into BBQ foods on vacation. I did go back on ship that day lunch…it was delicious.

You're welcome! I definitely had a great time and get wait for my next solo cruise next month on Liberty of the Seas.

OMG, that is so funny she's in the pic!! I plan to book another MSC cruise again soon too. I really liked the atmosphere on the Magnifica!

Everything worked out fine. I hit rush hour in quite a few places in the 3.5 hour drive. I made it to work with only 5 min to spare!!

I thought is was well kept. Of course some things are outdated but all in all still beautiful.

Well, another fabulous cruise down in the books. My bag is packed and I’m ready to go. Hoping all goes well tomorrow…Uber gets here with no problems and we get to MIA by 0930, the flight leaves on time, the shuttle arrives on time in NJ to take me to my car, my car hasn’t been stolen out of the car lot and the 3 hour ride gets me to work on time for my shift tomorrow night! 🤪

I packed that little bag and still had 2 blouses and 2 capris I never wore.

You will be fine. As with the other lines, dress varies. I brought nothing fancy with me. Slacks and blouses other than the 2 sun dresses.

I did not use room service but I did post the menus on here somewhere. Today was the first time I ate breakfast and I ate in the buffet. I have noticed the last couple of years the bacon on the various lines doesn’t even have a bacon taste anymore. I stopped eating it. The bacon on here was delicious! All of my food at breakfast was hot, that hasn’t been the case in the buffet these last nights…excluding the best pizza I’ve tasted on a cruise line. I had 2 favorite bars: The Tiger and the Topazio. The drinks everywhere on this ship are super strong, just the way I like! Lol i have had a fantastic time on this ship and plan to be back on here again very soon! Have a fantastic cruise!!!!
