Just priced out my 2 B2B April 2023 cruises on the Seascape. We both have drink and wifi pkgs. Here are the results for Category YC1 and BR2. YC1 $5,802 w/OBC $200 BR2 $2,009 w/OBC $350 YC1 +$3,793 w/$150 less OBC YC1 $5,698 w/OBC $200 BR2 $2,006.00 w/OBC $350 YC1 +$3,692 w/$150 less OBC Total YC1 cost for the 14 days more than the BR2 is: YC1 $11,500 w/OBC $400 BR2 $4,015 w/OBC $700 $7,785 when adding in less OBC for YC1 of $300. That is almost 4 more cruises for 2 people. We all have choices. Your money and your choice. Happy Cruising!

So, you like MSC (Mad Dog 2020) food. LOL We cruised CELEBRITY, MSC, NCL and RCI last year and are doing same year. We consider, as many others, that MSC food is fair in quality, selection, presentation, taste when compared to the other lines. Don't tell me it is European. Been around world and tasted food around the world. Woof woof!

Food is very subjective. We like thick crust with everything on it. Everyone has their own liking. Enjoy and Happy Cruising!

Enjoy! Wish you both well!!

What ship date in April? We are on the Seascape Apr 16 - 30.

Sorry to hear about your DH! We wish you both the Best!! We are in our 80s. I have lost 5 members of my family to various forms of cancer, so do understand your position. We have over 135 cruises and just would not use the services provided by a butler and other things. Been to the YC for Captains Parties, toured the YC cabins and areas. We do price out YC and cannot justify the cost. JMHO! As Diamond on MSC we get what we need, crew recognizes us, priority boarding, etc., without the extra costs. We normally do about 10 cruises per year. Again, we understand your reasoning and were not questioning why. Just do what you think is right and enjoy each cruise as we do! Best of all!!

Fully understand your position! Now for the other side of the coin. We are Seniors. We liked to join in with the rest of the crowd to meet people from around the world on each cruise. We don't mind waiting our turn. We don't put towels on chairs to become a chair hog at any time. We don't arrive an hour early for a show and never have. We don't need a butler to unpack or escort us as we capable of doing so on our own. We try to be self sufficient. We would rather cruise more times than just the cost of 1 YC cruise. We find the staff very friendly to all and even know us by name and our drink after the first couple of days. I guess each person has: 'Different strokes for different folks.' Enjoy your cruise regardless of category! Happy Cruising!

Thank you! $65 + 20% $13 = $78 $59 + 20% $12 = $71 Overpriced JMHO! Tried X app. Updating check back later. Tried Google search. No current pricing of Speciality Restaurants. This should be available and published. Anyone have a valid current link? TIA

Surprised that no one has provided any feedback on the prices.

Do they charge more for drinks in the Specialty Restaurants or are they limiting the selection of drinks to over $9? TIA

What about the price of the Specialty Restaurants? Even when they provide a % discount. We were on the Apex and the price of the steak house was $76 w/tip per person. Anyone know the prices on the Equinox? TIA

I traveled all over the world. Tried pizza in Italy. I don't like thin crust with nothing on it. Now live in MI. Jets Detroit Pan Pizza is the best. Godfathers pizza was the best, but went out of business. Standards mean nothing. I would rather have Olive Garden fare compared to the meals I have had on some of MSC ships. Been cruising MSC since Jan 2006. Opinions are opinions. Food is very subjective.

Have you tried Princess, Celebrity, NCL? Opinions are just that. I have a totally different opinion. LOL

We cruised RCI, MSC, Celebrity and NCL last year. They are all cutting back on the food quality, selection, amount, presentation, etc. In fact, NCL now has one menu, the same menu, for each night. It does not change at all. RCI now has different theme menus each night and selections have been reduced. So, don't think you are getting more when you change cruise lines.

We were on Apex in Dec 2022. Last night of cruise went to buffet. Totally shocked by the lack of selection in the buffet. We are Elite Plus on Celebrity and never seen such a limited section in the buffet. Reduces food waste!

MHO! Second lobster tail for $16.95 totally not worth it. Tails are small! Been on Symphony 2 weeks and both weeks small.

Thank you!

Did a Google search for Seascape Chef Table to no avail. Does anyone have a l for Seascape Chef Table? TIA

On Symphony now. Even though fruit plate not on menu, got it Sat & Sun as desert. Big bowl cut up fruit. Just ask.

2022 cruised on RCI 2X, MSC 2X, NCL 4X and Celebrity 1x. Everyone cutting back in everyway.

On Symphony this week. Today they closed Deck 17 do to severe wind. We are at Sea going to Caribbean. People lost hats.

MDR changes? 1 menu during 7 day cruise? We are on Symphony this week. New menus, but NOT the same menu every night as NCL PRIMA. Only 1 lobster tail, you pay for more. Some lines don't offer lobster at all. Check out other lines, they are really cutting back, too.

Never enforced! Regardless of night.

Remember when the cruse lines wanted us to go to MTD and many people didn't want to go? Now, since people want to go, they are hosing us around. LOL Most elderly people want early dining. European people normally eat late. The rest of us, who ever we are, wanted MTD. Can't RCI make up their mind? SMH

Wings on Prima 2 different cruises in Local. Very small 6 little pieces not crispy. Three sauces water. Yes, I Could have asked for more.
