cockneyjock Posted March 20, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 20, 2018 She's on her way to the U.K. Just south of the Azores. Stopping in Madiera. Looking forward to the reviews, before I board on 30/04/18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celandine Posted March 20, 2018 #2 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Hey, I am boarding the Magnifica on April 7... though not a R/T UK (I'm doing R/T Hamburg) but I plan on posting a review when I return (should be done before you leave). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Beamafar Posted March 21, 2018 #9 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Thanks for the pics Bea! getting excited now, we're in 10127 - looking forward to trying a different ship in the fleet We're boarding Splendida on the same day, so I get your excitement! :) Have you sailed on a Musica-class ship at all, or is it just that you hadn't been on Magnifica before? You may remember that I did a review of Magnifica, Tim - we were on her last September. Here's a link in case anyone else is interested (I know you read it at the time): https://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2553610&highlight=Magnifica+review You'll need to jump a lot of posts as the review was very rudely interrupted by a storm that left us without power (and water - we have our own well) for 3 days, so the thread derailed for a bit. :D There are photos of the menus and food we enjoyed, though apparently they may be redundant after April if the announcement that MSC are changing their menus comes to pass. :rolleyes: Will you report back and let us know if you noticed any changes in the menus, please? They may come into effect on your cruise. With your MSC experience, you'll see the difference if there is one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1fifthavenue Posted March 21, 2018 #10 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Thanks Bea, yes I do remember your review from the time :cool::cool:- we've not sailed any of the Musica class yet, but have another one booked :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a lovely-sized ship. I was just checking thru' some notes I've made for our Splendida cruise and came across the recipes for 2 cocktails you recommended - Black Forest martini and Oriental martini. Looking forward to trying them out.;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it premium drinks outside of the YC? ie can we have the items with one* ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it premium drinks outside of the YC? ie can we have the items with one* ? Yes, that's right, Tim. Deluxe (premium) package for outside the enclave with your favourite (not) champagne, IIRC. Hope you enjoy YC. What ship are you on? We're doing YC on Splendida in 10 days - can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1fifthavenue Posted March 21, 2018 #14 Share Posted March 21, 2018 We'll be on the Fantasia - my favourite! for the grand voyage from Barbados. Re the menus - we're only onboard for 2 nights, just a mini cruise but i'm sure I'll notice - hopefully we can have the black card freebie at lunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the Oriental Plaza opens for lunch, Tim? I'll check tomorrow to see if I have any dailies which would show opening times. Fantasia is the only ship that we haven't been in YC on (apart from Seaside). Ours is a Grand Voyage, too. First time we'll be in YC for more than 7 nights. We are uber-excited about it!

1fifthavenue Posted March 21, 2018 #16 Share Posted March 21, 2018 not to worry, we will find out in a little over a week, don't worry digging through things to find it Bea :) I'm guessing on the 2 nighter there will be a gala after the sea day. There's a large contingent of travel agents due on it I believe so they may want to showcase the ship, but who knows. Have a wonderful time on Splendida!

Pluto_fan Posted April 9, 2018 #20 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I have a favor to ask of someone on the Magnifica in May...if you're in the spa area, would you please check the cost of a cruise-length thermal area pass for one and two people? I can prebook online for one person (US$65) or two individually, but I think on board there's a reduced price for two. Thank you and happy cruising!

Pluto_fan Posted April 10, 2018 #24 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Excellent, thanks! How long was the cruise this was offered for? Ours is 11 nights; presumably the price would be different for a 7 night or 14 night cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare little britain Posted April 10, 2018 #25 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Ours was only 2 nights but I believe this signage was for the 7n cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
